be quiet! Dark Power Pro 12 1200W Quiet Performance Power Supply | 80 Plus Titanium Efficiency | ATX | Fully Digital | Modular | Virtually Inaudible Silent Wings Fan | BN646

I just installed this PSU yesterday, and it is amazing. The build quality is excellent and the fan was inaudible when I tested the PSU outside of my PC's case. This PSU has also reduced my 3080 ti's coil whine to being nearly inaudible - I can only hear my GPU's coil whine if I put my head next to my PC case now, whereas before, I could hear it across the entire room (I came from a Corsair PSU). The only negative I thing I have to say about this are about the cables - they look nice and are individually sleeved, but they're extremely rigid and hard to work with. I ended up breaking the sleeving on one of the PCIE cables while plugging it into my GPU. The cable combs are also not great and hard to put on the cables. They don't move once at all once you have them on, so prepare beforehand as to where you want the combs to be. I might look at getting custom combs just to make the cables look nicer. In addition, this PSU really should have come with at least a few single 8-pin PCIE cables instead of all of the 2x 6+2 pin PCIE cables. That would have made cable management much easier.Overall rating would be a 4.5/5 due to my issues with the cables, but Amazon doesn't allow a 4.5/5.

Replaced my Seasonic SS-1050XP that I've had since 2014 which was causing shut downs on high gaming loads. That is no longer a problem with the be quiet! Dark Power Pro 12 1200W. I also instantly noticed a difference in noise as well as this PSU is dead silent even at full load whereas my Seasonic's fan was very loud when it turned on. This PSU oozes premium and the look and texture are top of the line, imo better than the corsair AX line. Powers my oc'd Ryzen 5800X and EVGA 3090 FTW3 without a hitch.I do have one complaint - the cables are really long. Like, reeeeeaaallly long. This is great if you have a large case, but I installed this in a 011 dynamic and the cables are a mess on the PSU side. It took some effort to tuck the cables so that I could close the side panel. My Seasonic cables were much easier to manage. I also don't like the 2X2+6pin PCIE per cables. This is a high-end PSU that's most likely going to be used with high-end GPUs which should only be powered with 1 PCIE pin per cable. It would make the cable mess much easier to manage.All in all - highly recommend if you have a high-end PC that demands the best and most cleanest power delivery.

Hola a todos!Hoy la he recibido, salvo el mal rato con el operador de la ultima milla que daño parcialmente la caja. Me entretuve un buen rato ordenando los cables y poniendo sus separadores para darle un poco mas de orden visual, los cables son lo suficiente largos para conectar los 2 auxiliares de la mobo. No he conectado el bracket de OCK, por ahora no lo haré. Mi antigua fuente era una ANTEC HPC 100W Platinum y simplemente la cambie por tema de antiguedad.Pues es muy silenciosa, no es tan pesada al ser la versión digital, pensé lo sería mas. Por ahora es todo y a disfrutarla :)

This this is premium and well worth the money spend. My only regret was not getting the 1500 watt version as pc component are drawing more and more wattage theses days. Seriously, my modest pc now requires 1000 wattage (which led me to buy this awesome beast of a PSU) just because i was very blessed to be able to upgrade my GPU, the powercolor rx 6900 xt and that beast of a GPU needs about 1000 total PC wattage to run properly. I am blessed and happy now.

I haven't looked into RMA'ing this yet, and I can't tell how much of an outlier this experience was. To understand my setup: My rig is only about 2 months old and included this Dark Power 2 1500, an ASUS TUF 3090, a Ryzen 5900x, and various components of similar quality. I'm a huge Be Quiet! believer, as their fans are literally the best in the market, so my case is from the same company and so are most of its fans. My PC was plugged into a Cyberpower 1500w UPS and the UPS was plugged into the wall. Only one 1440p monitor and my PC were plugged into the UPS. If PCPartpicker is to be believed, the power usage of my components should never have topped around 800w. I knew such a large PSU was a bit "extra", but with the PSU shortage and pricing at the time, I was getting a great deal, and before this instance, I'd only had the best experience with Be Quiet products and it worked well, powering my machine. But....Fast forward 2 months, I pressed the power button on my PC and instantly heard a pop come from my Cyberpower UPS and the error tone whining. I looked over to see that smoke was coming out of the top of the UPS and it was flashing Error. The PC never fully turned on, its lights only flashed for a moment, but I made sure to flip the switch directly on the PSU to Off and I unplugged the UPS from the wall. The UPS was only a little warm to touch, and aside from the smoke coming out of it, seemed normal. However, I needed to run a few more tests.I started with just a small charger and it worked fine in that outlet, so I held my breath and, with the PSU still switched Off, I plugged my PC directly into that outlet. The plug only got maybe 25% of the way into the socket when I heard the electricity pop and the lights in that room instantly went out. Mind you: The PSU was switched Off when this happened. Downstairs, the circuit breaker was tripped and I just needed to flip it back. It took a couple days, but I replaced the Be Quiet PSU with another one (luckily, the rest of the PC seems totally undamaged), this time only 1000w from, in my eyes, a lesser brand, and scheduled time with an electrician.The electrician took a look at the circuit box and said that it looked professionally put together and he wasn't seeing anything wrong with it. The fuse was fine and the amount of power draw coming into the house was totally normal. We ran my PC (now, with the fresh 1000w PSU) plugged into the same outlet and everything else in that room, which includes two other PCs and an AC window unit. Even with the AC running at full blast, we never went past 8 amps, which I was told is far within safe parameters for that circuit. I asked him what he thought happened, and he said that he's not familiar with PC components but to him, the PSU sounded like the culprit.Anyway, that was a really long story that I clearly just needed to get off my chest with a bunch of, I'm assuming, PC enthusiasts who, like me, have too much disposable income right now. The PC I'm referring to is actually housed in a Be Quiet 802 case and has their unbelievably silent Pure Wings fans running inside of it to keep it cool, so I clearly love their products. In this case, though, I think their PSU let me down and I'm very lucky that the rest of my components, especially the ultra-rare 3090, seem totally fine. I plan to call customer service in the coming days.

Super Quiet power supply and Super efficient able to easily power my 3090 and rest of my setup.

I like the overall quality, so far you get what you pay for... let's see if it last for the next 5-10 years...
