INTRODUCTION

   The numerous benefits of having a good power supply unit in your system have been mentioned in my reviews more times than i can possibly count but even so it seems that many people out there still place this specific hardware component last when building a new system. Unfortunately, the examples i have for this are many (not only from friends and family members but also all of you who contact me to share your experiences) and most of the times these result in people changing their minds not too long afterwards. Be quiet! has been one of a handful of PSU manufacturers to release new models on a regular basis and today with me i have the top-of-the-line 750W model of their latest Pure Power 11 FM line.

   be quiet! is a premium brand of power supplies, PC cases and cooling solutions for desktop PCs. The products of be quiet! offer legendary quiet operation and first-class performance thanks the passion for quality and precision. Attention to detail is the key to perfection. Which is why our very own experts lead product conception, design and quality control from our headquarters in Germany. be quiet! sticks to its name: More than 15 years’ experience in the field of noise reduction and silence make be quiet! products probably the most silent ones on the market.

   The Pure Power 11 FM line of power supply units by be quiet! is currently available in 550/650/750W models all of which sport the 80 Plus Gold efficiency certification (up to 93.9% electrical efficiency).The Pure Power 11 FM variant which i have here with me can deliver up to 750W of continuous power (888W peak) and features a fully-modular design with low-profile cables, strong +12V rails (36A/42A) which can deliver the units entire power output, active PFC, advanced stability and voltage regulation (thanks to its LLC, SR and DC-to-DC technologies), ATX v2.52 support and several electrical protections including OVP (over-voltage), UVP (under-voltage), SCP (short-circuit), OPP (over-power), OCP (over-current) and OTP (over-temperature). The Pure Power 11 FM is part of the “essential” line of products by be quiet! so it may not be quite as good as their dark power series but it should still be more than enough for the majority of users out there.
