Just like the offensive line in football, a highly functioning PSU makes or breaks your PC. Especially if you’ve hit it big in the Shuffle and are upgrading to a current generation graphics card.
It’s unclear why lesser power supplies are giving up sacks to Ampere and Big Navi GPUs. Maybe it’s the graphics card capacitors? Maybe faulty drivers? Perhaps the big-time cooling systems on these cards? Who knows?
Whatever it is, the latest power supplies from be quiet! are designed specifically to handle unpredictable load peaks from your GPU and deliver highly efficient and virtually silent operation. be quiet! is known for their well-built PC cases and cooling systems, and their Dark Power 12 PSU is a characteristically best-in-breed piece of equipment. With it, the German manufacturer is targeting gamers who overclock their CPUs and plan to run power-hungry graphics processors.
Available in 1000 Watt, 850 Watt, and 750 Watt models, Dark Power 12 PSUs incorporate many facets found in the Dark Power Pro PSUs — the popular higher wattage models designed for rendering machines or workstation computers released last year. Each is rated 80 PLUS Titanium, the highest rating available, up to 95.6 percent energy efficient at 50 percent load.
Strong and stable 12-volt rails deliver power when gamers need it most—when you’re overclocking your CPU. At the default setting, power runs though four individual 12-volt rails. For overclocking, you can combine them for one massive single rail operation. A switch on the slot cover enables overclocking functions as needed.
Just like big brother, the Dark Power 12 (non-pro) offers several notable innovations for performance users. Active rectifier and full bridge LLC topology allow the PSU to operate in a more efficient range which is critical for system stability when negotiating unexpected load peaks.
In fact, Dark Power 12-series PSUs are the most efficient ever built by Be Quiet.
Although the non-pro PSUs don’t offer the same sophisticated fully digital controls that the pro model offers, they are absolutely top-of-the-line when it comes to energy efficient operation.

A fully modular design offers convenience when assembling your rig, and it comes with sleeved cables that provide a clean, clutter free look for your build, finished with a sleek steel enclosure.
As you would expect from a company called Be Quiet, the PSU is virtually inaudible—sitting below 10 decibels at 50 percent load and maxing out at 20 decibels at it approaches full capacity.
The silent secret is the tripod-mounted 135-millimeter Silent Wings fan. The unique airflow-optimized blade and advanced fluid dynamic bearing reduce vibration. A funnel-shaped air inlet directs airflow onto the components and is helped in part by a wire-free internal design. Features like these give this PSU a longer lifespan which you can take to bank as it comes with a 10-year warranty.
