At CES 2018 be quiet! featured some of their latest editions in the market for their air cooling range. Having had a look ourselves, we have been anxious for some time to see exactly how this would perform under the scrutiny of testing. At the time, we were highly impressed with the looks and knew from previous models that the Dark Rock series was to be taken seriously.

In addition, we were, if nothing else, curious to see the changes to the mounting system which for the prior model (the Dark Rock Pro 3) was perhaps one of the hardest we had ever encountered. It is no joke to suggest that it was one of the rare occasions where we nearly gave up on a review. Not because we wanted to, but because it was simply just a nightmare to fit.
