prices on 2 modelsBe quiet Pure Power
The Pure Power series of power supplies focuses on high reliability and the best combination of characteristics that is only possible on the component market. Thanks to the optimal price– quality –capability ratio, these power supplies will become a reliable base when assembling very quiet workstations, multimedia PCs or gaming systems with multiple video cards. They are much cheaper than the "platinum" Be quiet Dark Power and Straight Power power supplies, but at the same time they provide a level of performance and noise insulation close to them.
The most current model in this series is Pure Power 11, which was presented at the end of 2018. These are classic "bronze" and "gold" power supplies with a good price–quality ratio, low noise level and optimal power for most users (300 – 700 watts). A year later, a semi-modular version of Pure Power 11 with the CM index was released. In 2021, the German manufacturer released the Pure Power 11 FM model with fully modular fasteners, an increased power reserve and modified circuitry, thanks to which the efficiency increased from 92 to 93.5%, actually equaling the performance of "platinum" power supplies.
Pure Power 11 has become one of the company's top bestsellers for a reason. If we put aside the "bronze" entry-level models, and focus only on the Gold-certified versions, then literally everything is good in them. Starting from the element base (DC converters, FSP platform, diode bridge cooling, Teapo capacitors) and all the necessary protection measures to the ability to deliver 100% power on the main line, low ripple level and a proprietary silent fan. Considering that even for the most advanced version of this power supply in stores they ask for less than $ 100, it is not surprising why everyone loves it so much.
