WEBVTT 00:00:07.760 --> 00:00:12.880 welcome to my unboxing of something that 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 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 00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:27.840 they helpfully call that out for you high-end power supply this is an 80 plus 00:00:25.240 --> 00:00:35.640 Platinum power supply this is what they consider to be a no compromises product 00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:42.840 so that means even everything down to spending more on the fan that's cooling 00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:44.440 it they are using their own here they go 00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:48.960 very well reged silent Wing fan see right there 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 00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:59.640 using custom pretty much everything because again no compromises so the 00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:00.960 highest efficiency the a fully modular 00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:04.439 inter interface let's just I mean we'll get it open but no compromise silence 00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:08.720 and performance so using virtually in audible silent Wings fan world class 00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:12.200 efficiency up to 94% top performance overclocking key for multi or single 00:01:10.520 --> 00:01:16.200 rail use that's cool actually so you can actually switch Professional Cable 00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:20.079 Management 5year warranty let's go ahead and have a look at what else they have 00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:23.680 to say for themselves here so 80 plus Platinum versus 80 plus I guess those 00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:28.479 graphs look more impressive if your graph starts at 75% but trust me it does 00:01:26.360 --> 00:01:32.640 make a difference dark Power Pro certification allows you to save up to 00:01:30.119 --> 00:01:37.240 34 in electricity versus a standard 80 plus per year perom that's sort of a 00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:40.079 more European so this is a European brand actually that's something you guys 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 00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:49.759 card to give you some idea what I think of German Brands 00:01:46.600 --> 00:01:51.920 um it is a little different and you know 00:01:49.759 --> 00:01:56.640 what it's not it's not racism it's not like you 00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:58.920 know it it's just different I I mean 00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:02.960 it's it's the kinds of details that matter to German versus the kinds of 00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:07.079 details that matter to for example the Japanese like Japanese why they're known 00:02:04.759 --> 00:02:11.520 for their capacitors whereas that car for example is just it feels really 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 00:02:12.959 --> 00:02:19.040 way in case you guys can't tell but little things like when you close the 00:02:15.959 --> 00:02:23.239 doors like it just it feels like really 00:02:19.040 --> 00:02:25.480 solid the car actually has a uh um a 00:02:23.239 --> 00:02:29.519 completely welded frame so there aren't any seams there are no bolts in terms of 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 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 00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:40.599 both designed in Germany and I have a 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 00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:51.599 of engineering be quiet! is not a rebrander so if they I mean power 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:57.000 supplies it's no secret that every power supply is made in Asia somewhere so no 00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:03.400 it's not manufactured in Germany I'm sorry however be quiet! unle like many 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:07.519 other companies out there is not simply taking a design that someone else worked 00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:10.840 on and rebranding it so what they're doing is they are designing the power 00:03:09.440 --> 00:03:15.200 supply they are designing the specification if somehow you know 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 00:03:18.760 --> 00:03:23.840 then that's one thing but otherwise they are actually having it fully built from 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:27.879 the ground up according to their own spec so what that means is little things 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 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:36.239 hate coil wine be quiet! does not accept coil wine they don't accept electrical 00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:40.120 noise because the worst thing in the world is a great power supply with a 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:44.840 quiet fan that goes when it's underload because there's 00:03:42.760 --> 00:03:48.280 some coil somewhere or some component inside that's making electrical noise 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 00:03:52.200 --> 00:03:59.680 what I understand about this brand about what they're about is that they would 00:03:56.519 --> 00:04:00.799 not accept that in any way shape or form 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 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:08.879 virtually in audible thanks to the silent Wings fan long lifeband up to 00:04:06.480 --> 00:04:13.200 300,000 hours thanks to a fluid Dynamic bearing with copper core an individually 00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:17.320 balanced fan wheel yes their fans are serious business guys very well regarded 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:21.359 worldwide like right up there with the no tuas of the world so bear that in 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 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 00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:33.199 the OC key for either multirail or single Rail and actually here we can 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 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 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:47.440 providing almost the entire maximum output of the power supply on the single 00:04:43.919 --> 00:04:50.520 rail J Le efficient straight forward 00:04:47.440 --> 00:04:53.000 optimal cooling system and okay let's go 00:04:50.520 --> 00:04:58.440 ahead and actually that's really cool check this out has direct connectors for 00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:03.240 up to four fans so the fan control can actually be done by your power supply 00:05:00.520 --> 00:05:08.000 which is like the smartest thing ever because I would trust these guys to 00:05:05.440 --> 00:05:11.320 manage my fans correctly versus a lot of the tools that I've seen built into 00:05:09.400 --> 00:05:14.880 motherboards and other things like that I mean personally I'm using a te 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:19.280 balancer so it's a non-factor for me but not everyone has that luxury pretty 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 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:27.919 you can see it's uh even though they're using fully colored cables underneath it 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 00:05:30.440 --> 00:05:35.759 neat got like a rubberized like thing going on here for where the 24 pin comes 00:05:34.479 --> 00:05:41.120 out of the power supply so it's not fully modular but it is almost fully 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:44.199 modular and since every system needs a 00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:46.360 24 pin um and someone's going to be a 00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:49.639 smartass and sort of uh make some comment about a system that wouldn't 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 00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:58.520 these are the fan connectors so you can this is kind of neat because even Molex 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 00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:07.319 very good stuff okay so it comes with four of those would have liked to see 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 00:06:09.280 --> 00:06:15.880 it's worth because they've got these nice small connectors on the 00:06:12.960 --> 00:06:21.280 ends this is cool so this is the uh the OC key 00:06:18.960 --> 00:06:25.199 evidently so you go ahead you plug that in there you can actually you can 00:06:22.840 --> 00:06:28.599 actually change it no way I thought it was something where 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 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 00:06:35.280 --> 00:06:41.800 jump it per look at all these options this is hilarious so you can either jump 00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:45.919 for it permanently or you can go well I might want to switch between multi rail 00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:50.840 or single rail sometime in the future and you can include this just like that 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 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 00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:08.479 variet of different wattages 8 51,200 for the dark Power Pro 10 Deutch English 00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:12.240 safety instructions stuff like that and this is very nice I love matte black 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:15.759 boxes with silver writing that's just the best thing 00:07:13.479 --> 00:07:21.000 ever these look very nice too actually these feel good you can often tell are 00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:22.560 they using high quality wires inside or 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:26.960 are they not just by taking the cables and feeling them again actually this 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 00:07:29.599 --> 00:07:36.280 just sort of maybe I was judging this too harshly cuz the sleeving looks and 00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:38.000 feels really good very flexible um very 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 00:07:39.479 --> 00:07:46.639 very well very nice cable sleeving and lots of included module cables let's see 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 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 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:57.680 flexible and smartest modular cable uh 00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:58.879 packages that I've ever seen um yeah I'm 00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:03.599 not going to not going to mince words about it because this is outstanding so 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 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:13.240 PCIe 8pin connectors I will tell you why you need that because it's not 00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:18.319 necessarily for a triple GPU setup it could be for a dual GPU setup where for 00:08:16.039 --> 00:08:22.240 example you know not that cards like this 00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:26.720 exist a single card might have three PCIe connectors on it then they give you 00:08:24.960 --> 00:08:32.599 an additional single PCI E6 pin that can 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 00:08:34.640 --> 00:08:40.200 that there was a rumor that there might be like motherboards coming in the 00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:45.040 future that have an auxiliary six pin PCIe connector so you see these 00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:49.160 configurations on the motherboards and on the video cards and you kind of go 00:08:46.800 --> 00:08:52.760 what power supply is actually designed to run a couple of lightnings in SLI 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 00:08:55.720 --> 00:09:01.519 won't have to do something goofy like plug in sort of too many connectors or 00:08:59.640 --> 00:09:06.720 two few connectors depending on your config very smart the way they've done 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 00:09:11.640 --> 00:09:19.480 moving right along so the 24 pin goes over there ah yes the CPU connector so 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 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:29.640 attached and I've seen this a lot of times where modular power supplies will 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:35.680 not really give you any flexibility like uh for example the cougar 00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:40.760 sx850 the modular or not modular I don't remember whatever the cable for the CPU 00:09:38.680 --> 00:09:44.920 power connector has like two eight pins and a four pin on one harness I'm 00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:50.519 looking at this going are you kidding me how many boards need that well be quiet! 00:09:47.839 --> 00:09:55.839 thought of that so they include that one or they include a single eight pin or 00:09:53.640 --> 00:09:59.360 they include a single four pin totally up to you what you want to plug into 00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:03.079 that slot since you can configure figed as a single rail power supply anyway it 00:10:01.839 --> 00:10:06.440 doesn't matter if you're doing two connectors off one port or one connector 00:10:04.839 --> 00:10:12.600 off one port or whatever else the case may be now again 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:17.399 like cardinal sin number one on power supplies is making a modular interface 00:10:14.880 --> 00:10:21.279 with five plugs and including five cables that are just you know like 00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:24.320 there's two Molex harnesses and then like three SATA harness and you're like 00:10:22.680 --> 00:10:27.720 okay so I plugged them all in now it's not modular anymore because everything 00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:31.680 you plugged in is everything that you could possibly need and you get like and 00:10:29.760 --> 00:10:35.720 every harness looks like this now you might have a system that needs you know 00:10:33.800 --> 00:10:40.440 two satas and then a couple moxes and then a floppy or you might not so 00:10:37.959 --> 00:10:45.920 they've included a lot of smart harnesses this one for example I only 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 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 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 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 00:11:01.040 --> 00:11:06.720 pump that's it so why do I have to attach a huge harness with four 00:11:05.079 --> 00:11:10.680 connectors when I have a modular power supply why aren't they including options 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 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 00:11:19.040 --> 00:11:25.760 connectors this guy's got three SATA connectors you've got a three Mo X1 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 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 00:11:31.959 --> 00:11:38.279 actually got flexibility you've actually got options in terms of what you're 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:41.120 plugging into your modular interface now we haven't taken a close look at the 00:11:39.839 --> 00:11:45.600 overall fit and finish of the power supply yet and that is again where the 00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:49.600 whole you know German engineering etc etc thing that Volkswagen would have you 00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:53.360 believe uh really starts to come in so everything looks really good you know 00:11:50.839 --> 00:11:56.079 you got your silver and your 80 plus platinum and your warranty void okay 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 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 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 00:12:06.040 --> 00:12:11.079 touch the fan you could looks very slick anyway that's for sure especially with 00:12:09.800 --> 00:12:15.079 that fan spinning in there that looks great oh 00:12:12.959 --> 00:12:19.360 yeah they've got everything oriented correctly so as long as you've got a 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 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 00:12:25.160 --> 00:12:32.519 smart too that warranty void if removed is on the side where you're less likely 00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:34.160 to have it facing because this on most 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 00:12:38.040 --> 00:12:44.959 good check this out as well see this 00:12:41.880 --> 00:12:46.560 rubber noise dampening so that will keep 00:12:44.959 --> 00:12:50.680 vibrations from passing from the power supply to the case just another you know 00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:55.800 nice little touch that I haven't seen before and uh makes sets this a little 00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:59.040 bit apart from the competition that does not include noise isolators on their 00:12:57.720 --> 00:13:04.160 power supplies so whether you're case includes it or not you will have a noise 00:13:01.199 --> 00:13:08.600 dampened vibration isolating power supply no matter 00:13:06.199 --> 00:13:12.839 what cuz the Germans have deemed it to be lustly uh so thank you for checking 00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:18.639 out my unboxing and terrible German accent I'm just never going to do that 00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:21.399 again of the dark Power Pro 10 from be 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 00:13:22.959 --> 00:13:30.800 unboxings reviews and other computer videos and we missed something check 00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:33.800 this out so they actually include Cable 00:13:30.800 --> 00:13:36.320 Management velcros which is not unique 00:13:33.800 --> 00:13:41.240 at all uh lots of guys include these however normally when you see these 00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:44.959 included they include like two or three 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:46.440 be quiet! has included a whack of them I 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 00:13:50.560 --> 00:13:57.240 enough to help cable manage your system because it's one thing when they're just 00:13:55.199 --> 00:14:01.040 making a gesture of you know oh yeah we included Cable Management uh Pros but 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 00:14:04.040 --> 00:14:09.320 very cool stuff also some zip ties okay 00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:13.920 just a few of those and this is what I'm actually excited 00:14:10.959 --> 00:14:21.240 about oh yes sexy thumb screws I mean it does not 00:14:18.560 --> 00:14:27.320 get any better than that that is your power supply mounting screw that is 00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:30.320 beastly way to go be 00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:30.320 quiet
