Test – be quiet! Dark Pwer Pro 11 550 |Specs | CPU | Hashrate

Health!

Back to be quiet! today, after having tested the 850 Watts version of the Dark Power Pro 11 (link here) I am coming back to offer you the smallest of the range, the 550 Watts version! This power supply is much more likely to be installed and sized for a “gamer” configuration than its big sister at 850 Watts, which is why I wanted to test it. On the program, an 80Plus Platinum certification which will ensure measured consumption, a Silent Wings 3 fan, 100% Japanese certified 105 ° capacitors and everything that goes with it, in short you will have understood that we are here in the very high end.
Who says high-end services also says high price, the Dark Power Pro 11 550 Watts is no exception to the rule and is negotiated at around 150 € in the trade, which is not nothing for a power supply of this power, let’s see what she has in her stomach and if the price is justified!

The box is identical to the 850 Watts version and in line with all be quiet! on the market. Everything is really very sober with the photo of the beast on a black background and the name of the model, the logo of the brand, the 80Plus Platinum label as well as a listing of the strong points (silent fan Silent Wings 3, efficiency reaching 94% etc ..).

At the back a detailed listing of the cables present as well as their exact lengths, which is ultimately rather useful for those who do not always know if they will be long enough. In addition to that the dimensions of the beast are present as well as a table of the distribution of the power.

When you open the box you don’t immediately see a high-end product, a solid box on the left contains the entire bundle, on the right in 2 thick foams is the beast.

Packaged like this, transport shouldn’t be a problem, unless someone jumps down with both feet on the box!

The bundle consists of:

• 1 alimentation be quiet! Dark Power Pro 11 550 Watts
• Modular cables
• 1 power cord
• 3 “scratch” cable ties
• 5 plastic cable ties
• 4 cables to control fans via the power supply
• 2 sets of 5 screws to fix the power supply (“classic” and hand-held)
• 1 bracket equipped with a switch from multi rail mode to single rail mode
• 1 bridge leaving the power supply in single rail mode

As you can see be quiet! was not stingy when it comes to the bundle, everything is there to be able to use the dark power pro 11 without the slightest problem, cables to connect additional fans (molex or 3-pin only), the famous “OCKey »Which is no other than a switch from single rail mode to multi rail mode and vice versa, as well as the necessary hardware.
