be quiet! Dark Power Pro 10 650 W Power Supply Review

Conclusions

It is very clear that be quiet! is trying, with the Dark Power Pro 10, to create the most flawless and complete PC power supply series available on the market today. The cable configuration of the 650 W version is simply overkill. The single/multiple rail switch puts an end to the endless discussion of which configuration is better: you simply choose which one you think it is better. We really loved that this power supply comes with four cables for fans with two power connectors each; this way you can make all the fans available on your case to be temperature-controlled by the pow
er supply.

Performance-wise, the Dark Power Pro 10 650 W presented high efficiency between 87.6% and 90.3% and low noise and ripple levels. Voltage regulation could be better, as the +5VSB output dropped below the minimum allowed during two of our five tests.

Technically, it is a good power supply. The only real negative is its price. The 650 W model will reach the market with a suggested price of USD 150, which is very high for a 650 W model. But if you are a user who only demands the best in class, this may be the power supply you are looking for.
