BeQuiet! are actually classified as the best selling manufacturer of power supplies in Germany, six years running, according to market data from GfK.
BeQuiet! have a simple policy – they focus on creating products which emit the minimum amount of noise. The latest 10 designs use a new power conversion topology which delivers 80 Plus Platinum and Gold certification, currently the highest standard for efficiency.
All these supplies are ErP 2013 ready meaning the standby power drain should be below 0.3 watts.
The company are releasing six Dark Pro 10 power supplies rated between 550 Watts and 1200 Watts. The 850W, 1000W and 1200W power supplies are all 80 Plus Platinum certified. The other supplies in the range are 80 Plus Gold Certified.
The new 10 range of power supplies also feature an ‘overclocking switch’ which allows the user to change between a single and quad rail configuration. BeQuiet! are using a large 135mm SilentWings 2 fan in the new range. This is a custom made fluid dynamic bearing model with a 300,000 hour lifespan.
