Be Quiet Dark Power Pro 850w

Conclusion

The Dark Power Pro from Be Quiet is a pretty solid package. It’s got good rails with an excellent efficiency rating as well as being almost completely silent making it an excellent choice for those trying to assimilate their PC into their lounge entertainment area. It does have a couple of niggles with the 12v not being the best, and the price being a little high but the full feature set more than makes up for the price with the 12v rail being far from the worst out there.

The Dark Power Pro has some top things going for it, and while it might not be everyone’s first choice, it should definitely be on your list of PSUs to consider next time you’re looking to upgrade.

Pros	Cons
Looks great
Stable and tight rails	12v rail isn’t as impressive as we’d like
Excellent efficiency	A bit expensive for some
Modular cabling and noob-friendly labels and colour coding
