ATX 3.1 & PCIe 5.1 Compliance

This unit meets the latest ATX 3.1 and EPS 2.92 standards. It handles power excursions common with modern GPUs. You get a native 12-pin PCIe connector. This ensures direct compatibility with next-gen graphics cards without adapters.

Titanium Efficiency & Cooling

The PSU achieves 93.8% efficiency at 50% load. This reduces energy waste and heat output. The 13.5 cm FDB fan operates between 0 and 2100 RPM. In practice, the semi-passive mode keeps the system silent during low loads.

Silent Operation & Build Quality

be quiet! uses a high-performance heat sink to manage thermals. The fan speed is optimised for minimal noise. The unit features a robust design with a mean time between failures of 100,000 hours. This provides long-term reliability for your build.

Modular Cabling & Connectivity

The fully-modular design allows you to connect only necessary cables. This improves airflow and reduces clutter inside your case. It includes multiple PCIe 6+2 pin and 12-pin connectors. You also get ample SATA and Molex connectors for storage and peripherals.

Comprehensive Protection Features

The unit includes essential safety protections. These cover over current, over voltage, and overheating. It also features under voltage and short circuit protection. Surge and inrush protection (SIP) safeguards your components from power spikes.
