be quiet! Dark Power Pro 13 1600W, ATX 3.1

Das be quiet! DARK POWER PRO 13 1600W ist ein Netzteil der besonderen Art. Auf sechs separaten Schienen für die 12V-Primärspannung kann das Netzteil dauerhaft 1600 W liefern und ist dabei extrem effizient. Von der Qualität des Netzteils konnten wir uns in aufwändigen Messverfahren selbst überzeugen und können mit Sicherheit sagen: Das Netzteil hält, was es verspricht. Das Netzteil selbst kommt in einem vergleichsweise großen Formfaktor und bietet eine gute Kühlung sowie hochwertige Modulkabel.

be quiet! has a strong reputation for high-quality products, and that certainly holds true. I may have only just fired up the new PSU load tester and this is the first PSU we’ve tested on it, but I can tell you now that I’m confident this will be one of the absolute best units we’ll test over the next few years. We will, of course, have more comparison charts in the near future, as we continue to test through a surprisingly large backlog of samples.

The be quiet! Dark Power Pro 13 1600 is one of the strongest ATX v3.0 PSUs available on the market, offering good performance and silent operation at light and moderate loads. Its build quality is high and its price is highly competitive compared to similar spec PSUs. If you are curious to see how it performs, read the full review!

This past March I took a look at the new Dark Power 13 from Be Quiet!, their first ATX 3.0 power supply. I have been planning on upgrading the power supply on our test bench to a new high-power PSU that is ATX 3.0 with the new 12VHPWR connection. The Dark Power 13 850W fit that bill but was a little low in power for the test bench. But Be Quiet! now has their Dark Power Pro 13 models which sit above the standard Dark Power 13 models with their 1300-watt and 1600-watt capacities. At those wattages, I don’t see us ever lacking power, and being from Be Quiet noise and quality shouldn’t be an issue. But before it gets put into use, let’s check it out and see what the Dark Power Pro 1600 Watt is all about.
