BeQuiet Dark Power Pro P10 550W PSU Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell May 30, 2012 Featured Announcement, Power Supplies

BeQuiet! packaging is minimalistic and very attractive. An image of the power supply is set in the middle of a black background, drawing complete focus to the product alone. The 550W model is 80 Plus Gold Certified.

The power supply is shipped protected between sculpted foam panels. The cabling is supplied within a separate box with literature, screws and power cable stored in another section.

Above, the user manual, cable tidies, power cable, overclocking key and cable box. Sadly BeQuiet! don't supply a felt pouch for cable storage, but the little box can be stored inside the main shipping box with any extra cables.

The image above left highlights all the modular cabling, which is high grade sleeved. The power supply isn't a pure modular design so there is a single hardwired cable as can be seen in the image above right. There are also four fan cables which can be connected to the power supply to directly control chassis fans.

The diagram above details all the cabling and relevant lengths. There are four 6+2 pin PCIe power cables, ideal for a low powered Crossfire or SLI configuration.

Almost 2/3rds of all Cyberpunk 2077 players are on PC

Despite its ubiquity across multiple gaming platforms nowadays, CD Projekt Red has always been a PC-centric studio, with the original The Witcher being a PC exclusive and its sequel coming only to Xbox on the console side. Despite selling millions upon millions of copies of both The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 across PlayStation/Xbox since, new data has revealed just how much of the audience still hail from CDPR's home platform.

    Their products always look great. This is a little costly for a 550W however, id be aiming to get 750W at this price, even without all those lovely extras.

    Ideal for a media center, but again, its rather expensive for a 550W, even if its gold.

    Heck of a bundle, but I dont think id buy a 550W anymore, id be aiming a few hundred watts more, just for some futureproofing.

    Its a common mistake that people think every PC needs 800W+ a 550W can handle two graphics cards (not the high end power suckers obviously) and a decent system.
