The PSU didn’t shut down in any of the OCP tests I conducted, so I am skeptical about the official specs. Moreover, I measured low voltages at 12V3 and 12V4, so I can safely assume that this rail would drop below 11.4V at higher loads. Nonetheless, this is permitted by the ATX 3.0 spec, which allows down to 11.2V. Moreover, OCP is set high on the minor rails, especially at 3.3V. On the contrary, over power protection is set conservatively, but I want to see a lower limit at higher temperatures.

Hi!
I’m really interested in the DP13, but I’ve read a lot of reddit threads and horror stories about it either coming with an unbearable rattling noise off the bat or with the DP13 straight up dying right after installation or some time after, a week to a year.
Have you by any chance heard anything of the current stability and safety of DP13? The reddit threads have certainly died down in the past half a year, suggesting that perhaps bequiet fixed their batches, but I’m still very nervous about it, as it’s quite a pricey faustian bargain to take.
My sample worked as I described in the review. Unfortunately, I cannot do torture testing in all PSUs I get, but what I know is that be quiet! has a very strict policy on quality, and its PSU team takes seriously everything that users report, so I doubt any problems still exist.
