Efficiency Normal, Light & Super-Light Loads
Efficiency is high across all load ranges, except for the super-light ones, where it is moderate.
Average Efficiency
The average efficiency meets the Cybenetics Platinum criteria. I don’t know why be quiet! decided to “downgrade” it to Gold, as this platform is so efficient.
Average PF
The APFC converter achieves decent performance at 115V, but it can do better at 230V.
Average Efficiency 5VSB
The 5VSB rail is highly efficient.
Vampire Power
Vampire power is low at 115V but exceeds 0.1W at 230V.
Pages:
Are you willing to evaluate the lowest category Be Quiet series as well? Most notably the brand new System Power 11 series? It has 450W and 550W members, and it is the cheapest Be Quiet PSU on the market. A lot of people are buying them, without knowing how dangerous (or safe?) they are, after the System Power 10 test turned out that they are not that terrible, contrary to the tribal knowledge (System Power 10 Bronze series has been downgraded to Tier E on the SPL PSU Tier list).
If they send them to me sure. SP used to be pretty good for their money.
Can you ask them?
Typo: All links on first page lead to 550W models except for the first one with 1000W.
thanks! fixed
