Average Noise
The average noise is dead low at both voltage inputs.
Fan Noise & Speed Maps @ 28-32 °C
There is no semi-passive mode, but still, the fan spins at such low speeds that noise output is below our chamber’s threshold (noise floor). With up to 720W, the PSU’s noise doesn’t exceed 20 dBA and remains below 25 dBA at higher loads.

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.
