be quiet Dark Power 12 850 W Power Supply Review Titanium Silence

The be quiet Dark Power 12 with 850W max power is a highend power supply, addressing users who don t have a problem spending a bit more to get a highly efficient and dead silent PSU. If you prefer text over video, check my review at TechPowerUp: Bottom Line The main competitor for the Dark Power 12 850 is the Corsair AX850, which uses the Seasonic Prime Titanium platform. The Thermaltake Toughpower Grand RGB 850 W Platinum also achieves slightly higher performance, but its efficiency levels are not high. The AX850 manages to take the lead when it comes to noise output, but with below 20 dBA average noise output, the Dark Power 12 850 is one of the quietest PSUs in this category regardless. Pros Delivered full power at 47C High overall performance Incredibly high efficiency Low noise output Good parts are used Innovative, frameless fan design High efficiency with 2 load (over 70) +12 V and 5 V load regulation is
