1 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:12,880 welcome to my unboxing of something that 2 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:17,199 at this time is pretty difficult to get in North America this is a be quiet! no 3 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:22,600 that's not how you say this is a be quiet! dark Power Pro 10 high-end see 4 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:27,840 they helpfully call that out for you high-end power supply this is an 80 plus 5 00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:35,640 Platinum power supply this is what they consider to be a no compromises product 6 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:42,840 so that means even everything down to spending more on the fan that's cooling 7 00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:44,440 it they are using their own here they go 8 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:48,960 very well reged silent Wing fan see right there 9 00:00:47,399 --> 00:00:53,440 you can see they're using a custom fan they're using a custom enclosure they're 10 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:59,640 using custom pretty much everything because again no compromises so the 11 00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,960 highest efficiency the a fully modular 12 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:04,439 inter interface let's just I mean we'll get it open but no compromise silence 13 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:08,720 and performance so using virtually in audible silent Wings fan world class 14 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:12,200 efficiency up to 94% top performance overclocking key for multi or single 15 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:16,200 rail use that's cool actually so you can actually switch Professional Cable 16 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:20,079 Management 5year warranty let's go ahead and have a look at what else they have 17 00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:23,680 to say for themselves here so 80 plus Platinum versus 80 plus I guess those 18 00:01:21,799 --> 00:01:28,479 graphs look more impressive if your graph starts at 75% but trust me it does 19 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:32,640 make a difference dark Power Pro certification allows you to save up to 20 00:01:30,119 --> 00:01:37,240 34 in electricity versus a standard 80 plus per year perom that's sort of a 21 00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:40,079 more European so this is a European brand actually that's something you guys 22 00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:44,040 should be aware of this is a German brand and you know there's there's my 23 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:49,759 card to give you some idea what I think of German Brands 24 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:51,920 um it is a little different and you know 25 00:01:49,759 --> 00:01:56,640 what it's not it's not racism it's not like you 26 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,920 know it it's just different I I mean 27 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:02,960 it's it's the kinds of details that matter to German versus the kinds of 28 00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:07,079 details that matter to for example the Japanese like Japanese why they're known 29 00:02:04,759 --> 00:02:11,520 for their capacitors whereas that car for example is just it feels really 30 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:14,480 solid it's kind of heavy it doesn't perform that great it's a rabbit by the 31 00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:19,040 way in case you guys can't tell but little things like when you close the 32 00:02:15,959 --> 00:02:23,239 doors like it just it feels like really 33 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:25,480 solid the car actually has a uh um a 34 00:02:23,239 --> 00:02:29,519 completely welded frame so there aren't any seams there are no bolts in terms of 35 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:33,360 the of the outer shell of the car which is which is kind of neat so anyway okay 36 00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:38,319 so the car is not related to the power supply other than the fact that they are 37 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:40,599 both designed in Germany and I have a 38 00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:45,280 bit of a of a sort of German engineered bias let's just put it that way speaking 39 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:51,599 of engineering be quiet! is not a rebrander so if they I mean power 40 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:57,000 supplies it's no secret that every power supply is made in Asia somewhere so no 41 00:02:54,879 --> 00:03:03,400 it's not manufactured in Germany I'm sorry however be quiet! unle like many 42 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:07,519 other companies out there is not simply taking a design that someone else worked 43 00:03:05,319 --> 00:03:10,840 on and rebranding it so what they're doing is they are designing the power 44 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:15,200 supply they are designing the specification if somehow you know 45 00:03:13,879 --> 00:03:20,720 someone can produce something where they've already got a kitted thing that's ready to go that meets their spec 46 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,840 then that's one thing but otherwise they are actually having it fully built from 47 00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:27,879 the ground up according to their own spec so what that means is little things 48 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:32,680 like if you guys have paid any attention to my videos over the years you'll I 49 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:36,239 hate coil wine be quiet! does not accept coil wine they don't accept electrical 50 00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:40,120 noise because the worst thing in the world is a great power supply with a 51 00:03:38,599 --> 00:03:44,840 quiet fan that goes when it's underload because there's 52 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:48,280 some coil somewhere or some component inside that's making electrical noise 53 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:54,120 totally unacceptable so we're going to fire this guy up just to make sure that what I'm saying is accurate but from 54 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:59,680 what I understand about this brand about what they're about is that they would 55 00:03:56,519 --> 00:04:00,799 not accept that in any way shape or form 56 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,159 so let's go ahead and have a look at the English so multi CPU based okay 57 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:08,879 virtually in audible thanks to the silent Wings fan long lifeband up to 58 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:13,200 300,000 hours thanks to a fluid Dynamic bearing with copper core an individually 59 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:17,320 balanced fan wheel yes their fans are serious business guys very well regarded 60 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,359 worldwide like right up there with the no tuas of the world so bear that in 61 00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:25,479 mind you are getting a good fan with your power supply and you don't have to 62 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:29,880 you know do a dangerous fan swap in your PSU in order to make it happen so yeah 63 00:04:27,639 --> 00:04:33,199 the OC key for either multirail or single Rail and actually here we can 64 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:36,960 have a look so if you decide to go multi- rail it'll be four rails and if 65 00:04:35,479 --> 00:04:41,479 you decide to go single rail then it'll be a single 70 amp rail capable of 66 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:47,440 providing almost the entire maximum output of the power supply on the single 67 00:04:43,919 --> 00:04:50,520 rail J Le efficient straight forward 68 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:53,000 optimal cooling system and okay let's go 69 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:58,440 ahead and actually that's really cool check this out has direct connectors for 70 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:03,240 up to four fans so the fan control can actually be done by your power supply 71 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:08,000 which is like the smartest thing ever because I would trust these guys to 72 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:11,320 manage my fans correctly versus a lot of the tools that I've seen built into 73 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:14,880 motherboards and other things like that I mean personally I'm using a te 74 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:19,280 balancer so it's a non-factor for me but not everyone has that luxury pretty 75 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:22,840 decent sleeving not the best I've seen it's certainly not the worst I've seen 76 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:27,919 you can see it's uh even though they're using fully colored cables underneath it 77 00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:32,600 is looks pretty good even when you bend it like that okay and this is kind of 78 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:35,759 neat got like a rubberized like thing going on here for where the 24 pin comes 79 00:05:34,479 --> 00:05:41,120 out of the power supply so it's not fully modular but it is almost fully 80 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:44,199 modular and since every system needs a 81 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:46,360 24 pin um and someone's going to be a 82 00:05:44,199 --> 00:05:49,639 smartass and sort of uh make some comment about a system that wouldn't 83 00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:54,720 need a 24 pin but you're wrong they all need 24 pins if they're real systems uh 84 00:05:52,199 --> 00:05:58,520 these are the fan connectors so you can this is kind of neat because even Molex 85 00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:03,240 fans can now be managed by your power supply or you can plug in a three pin 86 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:07,319 very good stuff okay so it comes with four of those would have liked to see 87 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:10,520 those black but not the end of the world they're fairly easy to sleeve for what 88 00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:15,880 it's worth because they've got these nice small connectors on the 89 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:21,280 ends this is cool so this is the uh the OC key 90 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:25,199 evidently so you go ahead you plug that in there you can actually you can 91 00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:28,599 actually change it no way I thought it was something where 92 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:32,960 it's like you know you set up your system you like put it in or don't put 93 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:37,560 it in but oh wait no no no hold on yeah no you can okay so you can either just 94 00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:41,800 jump it per look at all these options this is hilarious so you can either jump 95 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:45,919 for it permanently or you can go well I might want to switch between multi rail 96 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:50,840 or single rail sometime in the future and you can include this just like that 97 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:56,840 okay uh you can tell this is a sample unit from Europe because this won't be 98 00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:02,080 useful to me but okay there you go comes with the manual so it's available in a 99 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:08,479 variet of different wattages 8 51,200 for the dark Power Pro 10 Deutch English 100 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:12,240 safety instructions stuff like that and this is very nice I love matte black 101 00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:15,759 boxes with silver writing that's just the best thing 102 00:07:13,479 --> 00:07:21,000 ever these look very nice too actually these feel good you can often tell are 103 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:22,560 they using high quality wires inside or 104 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:26,960 are they not just by taking the cables and feeling them again actually this 105 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:31,319 might be better sleeving than what's on here uh no it's the same okay maybe I 106 00:07:29,599 --> 00:07:36,280 just sort of maybe I was judging this too harshly cuz the sleeving looks and 107 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:38,000 feels really good very flexible um very 108 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:42,039 difficult to see even no matter what I do to it you can't really see through it 109 00:07:39,479 --> 00:07:46,639 very well very nice cable sleeving and lots of included module cables let's see 110 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:49,840 what we got going on in here okay give me a sec you know what I'll just plug 111 00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:54,560 things in and then we'll have a look now this is actually one of the most 112 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:57,680 flexible and smartest modular cable uh 113 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,879 packages that I've ever seen um yeah I'm 114 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:03,599 not going to not going to mince words about it because this is outstanding so 115 00:08:01,319 --> 00:08:09,599 a couple things okay number one yes 850 W power supply so why would you need six 116 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:13,240 PCIe 8pin connectors I will tell you why you need that because it's not 117 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:18,319 necessarily for a triple GPU setup it could be for a dual GPU setup where for 118 00:08:16,039 --> 00:08:22,240 example you know not that cards like this 119 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:26,720 exist a single card might have three PCIe connectors on it then they give you 120 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:32,599 an additional single PCI E6 pin that can 121 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:36,519 also plug in which you know not that not that these exist but you know I heard 122 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:40,200 that there was a rumor that there might be like motherboards coming in the 123 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:45,040 future that have an auxiliary six pin PCIe connector so you see these 124 00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:49,160 configurations on the motherboards and on the video cards and you kind of go 125 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:52,760 what power supply is actually designed to run a couple of lightnings in SLI 126 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:57,720 with a six pin auxiliary connector plugged into the board this is the only power supply I've ever seen where you 127 00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:01,519 won't have to do something goofy like plug in sort of too many connectors or 128 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:06,720 two few connectors depending on your config very smart the way they've done 129 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:14,160 the PCIe so there you go and each harness uh gives you two 6 Plus tws okay 130 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:19,480 moving right along so the 24 pin goes over there ah yes the CPU connector so 131 00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:24,200 you can see the modular cable includes a 4 plus4 or an 8 Pin and they're both 132 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:29,640 attached and I've seen this a lot of times where modular power supplies will 133 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:35,680 not really give you any flexibility like uh for example the cougar 134 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:40,760 sx850 the modular or not modular I don't remember whatever the cable for the CPU 135 00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:44,920 power connector has like two eight pins and a four pin on one harness I'm 136 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:50,519 looking at this going are you kidding me how many boards need that well be quiet! 137 00:09:47,839 --> 00:09:55,839 thought of that so they include that one or they include a single eight pin or 138 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:59,360 they include a single four pin totally up to you what you want to plug into 139 00:09:57,519 --> 00:10:03,079 that slot since you can configure figed as a single rail power supply anyway it 140 00:10:01,839 --> 00:10:06,440 doesn't matter if you're doing two connectors off one port or one connector 141 00:10:04,839 --> 00:10:12,600 off one port or whatever else the case may be now again 142 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:17,399 like cardinal sin number one on power supplies is making a modular interface 143 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:21,279 with five plugs and including five cables that are just you know like 144 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:24,320 there's two Molex harnesses and then like three SATA harness and you're like 145 00:10:22,680 --> 00:10:27,720 okay so I plugged them all in now it's not modular anymore because everything 146 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:31,680 you plugged in is everything that you could possibly need and you get like and 147 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:35,720 every harness looks like this now you might have a system that needs you know 148 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:40,440 two satas and then a couple moxes and then a floppy or you might not so 149 00:10:37,959 --> 00:10:45,920 they've included a lot of smart harnesses this one for example I only 150 00:10:43,279 --> 00:10:50,560 have a single MOX connector that I need in my system on the back oh actually no 151 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:54,680 I have two now well at any rate uh I used to only have a single one and I 152 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:58,600 could just use two of these see two uh so I have two that I need one plugs into 153 00:10:56,519 --> 00:11:03,560 the back of my Zonar zense sound card and the other one plugs into my mCP 655 154 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:06,720 pump that's it so why do I have to attach a huge harness with four 155 00:11:05,079 --> 00:11:10,680 connectors when I have a modular power supply why aren't they including options 156 00:11:08,839 --> 00:11:16,279 that I care about so you got two single MOX ones you've also got this one a 157 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:21,079 single SATA one you've got a multi-a one so this guy has what three SATA 158 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:25,760 connectors this guy's got three SATA connectors you've got a three Mo X1 159 00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:29,880 you've got a two mole x one and a floppy you got that one I showed you before 160 00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:34,160 with the couple satas and a few Molex and two moxes and a floppy so you've 161 00:11:31,959 --> 00:11:38,279 actually got flexibility you've actually got options in terms of what you're 162 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:41,120 plugging into your modular interface now we haven't taken a close look at the 163 00:11:39,839 --> 00:11:45,600 overall fit and finish of the power supply yet and that is again where the 164 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:49,600 whole you know German engineering etc etc thing that Volkswagen would have you 165 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:53,360 believe uh really starts to come in so everything looks really good you know 166 00:11:50,839 --> 00:11:56,079 you got your silver and your 80 plus platinum and your warranty void okay 167 00:11:54,800 --> 00:12:00,279 that doesn't look very good but other than that um this is unique haven't seen 168 00:11:58,519 --> 00:12:02,639 anything like this before so it's got a fan grill that you know you not it's not 169 00:12:01,639 --> 00:12:08,320 going to be a problem you're not going to be able to accidentally like touch the fan but I guess if you wanted to 170 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:11,079 touch the fan you could looks very slick anyway that's for sure especially with 171 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:15,079 that fan spinning in there that looks great oh 172 00:12:12,959 --> 00:12:19,360 yeah they've got everything oriented correctly so as long as you've got a 173 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:22,920 sort of 99.9% of cases out there that mount the power that have the window on 174 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:27,079 this side uh the text will be right side up no matter what you do and ah this is 175 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:32,519 smart too that warranty void if removed is on the side where you're less likely 176 00:12:29,519 --> 00:12:34,160 to have it facing because this on most 177 00:12:32,519 --> 00:12:41,880 cases these days will draw air in right from the bottom of the case through a filter and you will see just this looks 178 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:44,959 good check this out as well see this 179 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:46,560 rubber noise dampening so that will keep 180 00:12:44,959 --> 00:12:50,680 vibrations from passing from the power supply to the case just another you know 181 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:55,800 nice little touch that I haven't seen before and uh makes sets this a little 182 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:59,040 bit apart from the competition that does not include noise isolators on their 183 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:04,160 power supplies so whether you're case includes it or not you will have a noise 184 00:13:01,199 --> 00:13:08,600 dampened vibration isolating power supply no matter 185 00:13:06,199 --> 00:13:12,839 what cuz the Germans have deemed it to be lustly uh so thank you for checking 186 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:18,639 out my unboxing and terrible German accent I'm just never going to do that 187 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:21,399 again of the dark Power Pro 10 from be 188 00:13:18,639 --> 00:13:25,040 quiet a bad joke too and don't forget to subscribe to L Tech tips for more 189 00:13:22,959 --> 00:13:30,800 unboxings reviews and other computer videos and we missed something check 190 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:33,800 this out so they actually include Cable 191 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:36,320 Management velcros which is not unique 192 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:41,240 at all uh lots of guys include these however normally when you see these 193 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:44,959 included they include like two or three 194 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:46,440 be quiet! has included a whack of them I 195 00:13:44,959 --> 00:13:52,639 mean we could count them if we wanted 1 2 3 4 5 6 10 of them which is actually 196 00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:57,240 enough to help cable manage your system because it's one thing when they're just 197 00:13:55,199 --> 00:14:01,040 making a gesture of you know oh yeah we included Cable Management uh Pros but 198 00:13:59,759 --> 00:14:07,360 it's another thing when they actually include enough that you can actually cable manage your whole system with them 199 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:09,320 very cool stuff also some zip ties okay 200 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:13,920 just a few of those and this is what I'm actually excited 201 00:14:10,959 --> 00:14:21,240 about oh yes sexy thumb screws I mean it does not 202 00:14:18,560 --> 00:14:27,320 get any better than that that is your power supply mounting screw that is 203 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:30,320 beastly way to go be 204 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,320 quiet
