be quiet! Power Zone 2 1000W ATX 3.1 (2025) Review

Rating: 8.0.

It has been some time since we tested a be quiet! power supply, so today is quite exciting as we just received a sample of the new Power Zone 2 1000 watt unit. This power supply is a follow on from the original units which released back in 2013, which were incidentally the companies first single rail units. This new fully modular power supply has also adopted a semi passive cooling configuration. It also ships with a 10 year warranty. Time to dive in and see what else has changed.

We have appreciated be quiet! products over the years, they have a certain attention to detail and a focus on engineering quality. Not to say they always get it right, but generally they are a brand we would consider to be in the higher end of the quality bracket. Also, they tend to make some of the best fans on the market which helps massively with coolers and power supplies. This unit adopts one of their new Pure Wings 3 140mm fans.

There are three models in this new Power Zone 2 category. A 750 Watt, an 850 watt and a 1000 watt model. Retail availability of Power Zone 2 is scheduled for January 28th, at a recommended retail price of $189.90/€189.90/£179.99 (1000W), $169.90/€169.90/£159.99 (850W), or $149.90/€149.90/£139.99 (750W). More on this later in the review.

Power Zone 2 1000W Features:

  • 80 Plus Platinum and Cybenetics Platinum efficiency.
  • Semi Passive zero RPM cooling.
  • Pure Wings 3 140mm fan.
  • 90 degree angled 12V-2×6 connector and PCIe 5.1/ATX 3.1 compatibility.
