CES 2024: be quiet! unveils new white RGB cases and PSU upgrades

At CES this week, be quiet! is launching several new products, including the new Dark Base Pro 901 and Dark Base 701 White cases, along with new white versions of the Silent Wings 4 and Pure Wings 3 fans. There is also excellent news for those who picked up an ATX 3.0 power supply, or plan to in the future. 

The be quiet! Dark Base Pro 901 features removable sound-dampening panels and an interchangeable front panel so you can configure the case for better airflow or for minimal noise. Subtle ARGB lighting can be found in the front of the case and around the PSU shroud and you can use included brackets to easily mount fans or radiators straight into the fan hub. The case ships with three pre-installed Silent Wings 4 fans that match the new white colour of the case, and you get a cool touch-sensitive I/O panel and a wireless smartphone fast charger with fast charging support.

The Dark Base 701 is a fully performance-oriented case with mesh covers and radiator support up to 360mm for liquid cooling. It supports an inverted motherboard layout if you'd like to switch things up and it supports vertical GPUs out of the box too. ARGB lighting returns around the front panel, brackets can be used to more easily install sets of fans or radiators and you'll get three pre-installed Silent Wings 4 140mm fans, with two in the front and one in the rear . A tempered glass side window offers a good view of your build and you'll have plenty of room for extra fans in the front, top and bottom of the case, as well as plenty of additional storage with room for 2x HDDs and 4x SSDs.

The Silent Wings 4 fans come in two versions, a standard model with a maximum RPM of 1,600 while in normal operation, getting a boost up to 2,500 RPM in high-speed mode. The 140mm version doesn't need to operate as fast, delivering 1,100 RPM, boosted to a max of 1,900 RPM in high-speed mode. The Silent Wings 4 Pro 120mm can range from 1,600 RPM up to 3,000 RPM, while the 140mm version can range from 1,100 RPM to 2,400 RPM with three speed modes included and easily adjusted via a fan switch.

Finally, be quiet! has also announced plans to upgrade their current ATX 3.0 PSUs to ATX 3.1 and all new models will follow the latest standard too. The new 12V-2×6 90-degree cable will also soon be available and is compatible with any 12V6 or 12VHPWR connector. It can also be used on ATX 3.0 or newer ATX 3.1 PSUs.

The new Dark Base Pro 901 White will go for $299 with availability planned for March 2024. The Dark Base 701 White is also launching in March 2024 but will be a bit cheaper at $239. On the fan side, the Silent Wings Pro 4 White is expected to cost $25 for the standard 140mm version and $33 for the Pro version. The Pure Wings 3 White fans come in a bit cheaper at $11 for the 120mm version and $13 for the 140mm version. The new 12V-2×6 90-degree cable will be available this month, priced at $16.90.
