INTRODUCTION
Whenever someone comes up to me and asks what power supply unit to get the very 1st thing I tell them is to always get something with a higher output than what they think they need. This is something I’ve told people for as long as I can remember since I believe it’s always best to have something and never need it than to need it and not have it (and yes, this applies to many other things in life, not just power supply units). Last year be quiet! released the Pure Power 11 FM line of PSUs in outputs up to 750W (review here) and just recently updated with two extra models (clearly to cover a larger segment of the market) the 1KW variant of which arrived in the lab a while back.

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.
With the addition of the 2 new variants the Pure Power 11 FM line of power supply units by be quiet! now includes 550/650/750/850/1000W models all of which are fully modular and are 80 Plus Gold efficiency certified (up to 93.9% electrical efficiency). The Pure Power 11 FM 1000W model which I’ll be testing today can deliver up to 1000W of continuous power (1138W peak) and features strong +12V rails (46A/42A) which can deliver the units entire power output (999.6W), active PFC, advanced stability and voltage regulation (thanks to its LLC, SR and DC-to-DC technologies), ATX v2.52 and EPS v2.92 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). As with previous models the Pure Power 11 FM 1000W model is covered by a 5-year limited warranty.
