Choosing a power supply
When choosing a suitable power supply, wattage is the key parameter alongside form factor. It indicates the maximum number of Watts the power supply can continuously deliver to the computer components. We recommend using an online calculator to calculate the optimum wattage based on your chosen components.
Smart cooling and overclocking
The be quiet! IO Center app lets you easily switch between active cooling for constant airflow and a clever semi-passive mode. In the semi-passive setting, the fan stops completely during low loads and starts smoothly as soon as the power supply temperature rises. The accompanying software allows manual switching from six independent 12V rails to a single 12V rail. The power supply design is ideal for overclocking processors and graphics cards.
High efficiency and operation
The device achieves high energy efficiency, as certified by 80 PLUS Titanium and Cybenetics ETA Titanium. The efficiency reaches 94.9% at 230V and 50% load, which reduces power consumption from the grid and saves running costs. High efficiency also reduces waste heat and contributes to quieter operation of the entire PC.
Power and efficient cooling
The use of digital full-bridge LLC technology contributes to high power stability. The internal circuits, combined with SR and DC/DC technologies, ensure better voltage regulation and lower noise. The aluminium heatsink connects to the internal components requiring cooling to dissipate a large portion of thermal energy efficiently. It helps draw heat away from the hot parts of the power supply. Additionally, the heatsink design directly supports semi-passive cooling without requiring constant airflow.
Silent fan and components
Active airflow is provided by a 135mm Silent Wings 4 fan that uses a fluid-dynamic FDB bearing. Engineers integrated the fan directly into the heatsink to suppress unwanted vibrations and reduce noise. The Japanese capacitors are rated for operating temperatures up to 105°C, contributing to the stability, reliability and long lifespan of the power supply.
Connectivity and cabling
The power supply offers two native 12V-2x6 connectors to power PCIe 5.1 graphics cards and can deliver a combined output of up to 1200W through these connectors. Connect older graphics cards using six PCIe 6+2pin connectors. Users get fully modular, sleeved and flat cables with a length of 105cm. Connect only the necessary power cables when building your PC, which makes cable management inside the case much easier. The 60cm motherboard cable allows flexible routing.

80 Plus certification in the European market
The 80 Plus certification provides an objective rating of power supply efficiency, giving you an easy and clear way to compare different models. The European market (which uses 230V mains voltage) features six levels of 80 Plus certification with defined requirements for computer power supplies. Higher energy efficiency primarily translates to lower power consumption.
