BeQuiet! Pure Power L8 530W CM Review

Rating: 8.5.

Today we are looking at the BeQuiet! Pure Power L8 530W CM, which has recently enjoyed some price reductions in the United Kingdom. We have reviewed many of the BeQuiet! L8 power supplies in the last year and we felt it was time to have another look at this popular range. The pricing of the L8 range is so competitive – you can in fact pick this 530W unit up for around the £65 mark now.

As a quick recap it is worth looking at the L8 range again. There are four 80 Plus Bronze Certified power supplies in this range –  the 430W, 530W, 630W and 730W. The 530W is actually the only unit we haven't reviewed to date.

BeQuiet! have been using FSP as a partner now for many years, but this range is focused around HEC designs. The ‘CM' tag stands for ‘Cable Management' – meaning these are modular units.

The company offer a full three year warranty with this range of products, for peace of mind.
