BeQuiet! Pure Power L8 430W CM PSU Review

The BeQuiet! Pure Power L8 430W CM is finished to the high standards we expect from the company and the paintwork is hard to scratch, although we found it did attract fingerprints quite easily due to the shiny gloss finish.

A large 120mm fan takes centerstage at the top of the power supply, behind a black grill with orange trim. This helps to reduce vibrational related noise as well.

One side of the power supply is vented to help circulate air, although this is not vented the full width of the chassis. At the side is a power connector and button.

The other side is home to the modular connector panel and the hardwired cables. These cables are all sleeved and we notice that BeQuiet! have included a rubber protector around the hard wired cables.

There are only 5 connectors, all of which are colour coded and labelled for ease of installation.
