be quiet! PSU range is ready to support Nvidia RTX 5090 in silence

No need to make new ones if the old are perfectly fine.

Instead of debuting flashy new PSUs at CES 2025, be quiet! has announced that its existing Dark Power, Straight Power, and Pure Power PSU series are ready for next-gen graphics cards. With capacities ranging from 550W up to 1,600W and offering both 16-pin and 8-pin connectors, they’re all ready for Nvidia RTX 5090, AMD Radeon RX 9070XT, and Intel Arc B580 graphics cards.

Dark Power 13 and Dark Power Pro 13

Covering the high-end, Dark Power 13 and Dark Power Pro 13 take a no-compromise approach with up to 95.8% 80 Plus Titanium efficiency, silent operation, and individually sleeved cables. The non-Pro series is available in 750W, 850W, and 1,000W, while the Pro pushes things up a notch with 1,300W and a whopping 1,600W capacity. You can grab a Dark Power 13/Pro 13 between £165 and £325 depending on the capacity.

All models feature an active rectifier plus full bridge LLC to maintain signal stability and efficiency. They are also backed by a ten-year warranty.

Moving a step down we find the Straight Power 12 range, offering 1,500W, 1,200W, 1,000W, 850W, and 750W capacities. For these, be quiet! claims up to 94% 80 Plus Platinum efficiency, again with support for ATX 3.0 specifications. All models feature 105° Japanese capacitors for higher reliability alongside a single large 12V rail to simplify the user experience. Regardless of which one you choose the 135mm Silent Wings fan remains virtually inaudible with a claimed 12.7dBA of noise at 50% load, even on the 1,500W model.

Straight Power 12 series is available anywhere between £133 and £204, backed by a ten-year warranty.
