    It's a piece of crap (big crap)

    Power supply bought in July 2017 and died in November 2019, i.e. a lifespan of two years and four months: record broken!!!
    (small precision: it had to run on average 3 hours per day)

    On the power supply it is marked texto "PRODUCT CONCEPTION, DESIGN AND QUALITY CONTROL IN GERMANY" good after it is not necessary to joke it is nevertheless of made in china.

    I'm not going to write more about it, I've had power supplies for less than 50 quid that have lived in much worse conditions and much longer, so if you want to spend 200 quid on a power supply and have a chance to change it in two years just after the warranty expires this product is for you, otherwise you can look at another brand.

    Very quiet power supply

    I bought this alim with other BeQuiet! materials because the brand is known for its reliability. I was not disappointed. Even if I am unable to say whether the word Platinum is true or not, I am very satisfied with the discretion it shows?

    Where is the quality?

    I have been using the power supply for 2 months and then my computer starts to shut down... I'm not sure what the problem is, but I'm sure it's the power supply that's not working anymore. I am very disappointed (more than enough power for my components, I can't find the reason for the problem apart from the quality).

    Good from Be quiet!

    Perfect power supply for a last generation configuration. No noise, clean design (even if once mounted you can't see it anymore) and well supplied with cables, there are more than enough! The 135mm fan has a great suction and yet it is inaudible.

    Excellent power supply

    This power supply is perfect. The bundle is very complete. There are as many wires as you need, or even more. Even under load, I can't hear it: another excellent job by be quiet!
    I really appreciated the power cables for the fans, which allowed me to make up for a lack of length. In short, I warmly recommend it!

    Fantastic

    It's powerful, elegant, quiet, even when in high demand, and modular with the possibility of putting in only the cables you need, which saves a lot of space.
    Despite the price, I highly recommend it, after all, with an FX9590, it has to be.

    Excellent

    The finish is magnificent, you can see that they have put the emphasis on detail. They even thought of making the front and rear corners out of rubber to absorb as much noise as possible, and even the supplied hand screws are excellent (brushed painted steel)...

    When power works in silence...

    The packaging already says a lot about the quality of the product.
    You open the box and it's a slap in the face, it's beautiful, it's shiny, it exudes top-of-the-range, it's square.

    Connections are a bit stiff but well supplied, with plenty of length.
    A small switch for the boost is well thought out for OC fans who are a little bit watt-hungry.

    Delivering a stable current, the components it powers will have an optimal life span and that's good to take.

    So many qualities so far and we continue on this path with the strong point of this machine: the cooling.
    You'd think it didn't exist, it's so quiet, even under heavy load.

    A pure happiness, it changes from my Corsair...

    Now it's not cheap but you have to keep in mind that it's a masterpiece and that quality has a price.


    It's a good impression with Be Quiet! Anyway, as always, the LDLC team is at the top, thanks!
