Review: be quiet! Dark Power Pro 11 850W

Conclusion

PSU manufacturer be quiet! has taken a while to refresh its premium Dark Power Pro supply that first debuted in 2012. The latest iteration is the Dark Power Pro 11, underpinned by the finest platform available from FSP and tweaked to the German company's requirements.

Beautifully finished inside and out, be quiet!'s incremental improvements make this a solid power supply for the well-heeled enthusiast who wants premium components for a top-tier build.

Modern power supplies all handsomely beat the specifications laid down by the various standards, meaning a reasonable 80 PLUS Bronze is more than sufficient for most users' needs, particularly as the energy-efficiency drive for PCs becomes ever-more important.

But there's always a place for components that excel in a particular area. The be quiet! Dark Power Pro 11 850W is an example of a high-quality supply that's very capable in every respect.
