In a few weeks, be quiet! will offer a new line of affordable power supplies, System Power 11. These models aim to pack everything you need from a PSU with minimal compromise.
System Power 11 will be available with 450W, 550W, 650W, or 750W of power. Regardless of your choice of wattage, each model boasts 80 Plus Bronze certification. This means that the power supply runs at up to 90% efficiency, which while not the highest rating is a cut above vanilla 80 Plus and entirely appropriate for PSUs in this price range.
As an ATX 3.1 PSU, System Power 11 comes with native support for 12V-2×6 power cables out of the box (except on 450W models). Of course, there are 6+2 pin connectors on hand for graphics yet to adopt a 16-pin header. As a budget-leaning component, there’s no modularity here so both types will remain connected to the PSU ready to use whenever you need them.
This wouldn’t be a be quiet! power supply without a near-silent fan. The 120mm blower inside System Power 11 will only kick in should operating temperatures require it to do so. In reality, you’ll likely never see it or hear it spin up if prior offerings from the brand are anything to go by.
be quiet! equips every System Power 11 with a suite of protections for the likes of overcurrents, overvoltages, short circuits and more, so you can rest assured your system is in safe hands. For added peace of mind, the manufacturer includes a five year warranty with every model as standard.
System Power 11 will start at €49.90 for the 450W model, rising to €59.90 for 550W, €69.90 for 650W, and finally €79.90 for 750W. There’s no word on US or UK pricing yet, but you’ll find all models on Amazon and other retailers come launch on May 6.
