be quiet! Dark Power Pro 11 850W PSU Review

The be quiet! Dark Power Pro 11 850W supply is very nicely finished, painted black and ideal to fit into any rig. The paint work is very resistant to scratching and the unit passed our ‘screwdriver' test with flying colours.

This involves running the head of a Philips head driver down the side of the chassis with light to medium force. After all, how many times have you accidentally connected with a power supply during a system build?

The large SilentWings 3 fan is hidden behind a metal grille at the top of the case. be quiet! claim this fan is based around a 6 pole motor with redesigned bearings. Noise levels are minimal and it has the lowest start up speed on the market – under 250 rotations per minute.

One side of the power supply has a power header, power switch and honeycomb vent for air flow.

This is not a ‘pure' modular power supply – a single ATX cable emerges from the right of the case. This cable is always used in a system build, so not really a problem. Along the left of the modular panel are a series of fan headers (to directly control fans inside a case), alongside the OCK header (allowing the user to switch between single and multi rail configurations).

A vertical row of peripheral headers are positioned in the center, alongside 5 PCIe headers and a single P8/P4 connector.
