CONCLUSION

   Be Quiet! may not have the long history some of the other PSU brands have but in the roughly ten years they've been around they've managed to make a name of themselves thanks to the high build quality and performance of their products so it was never a matter of whether or not the latest Power Zone 1000W 80 Plus Bronze PSU would be good, the only real question was just how good. Well after wrapping up our tests and using it for almost a week I’d say the Power Zone 1000W PSU is a very good mid-end solution for gamers and professionals who are after the sweet spot between performance and price. You see it's not just a matter of the total power output in which case 1000W is more than enough to power most tri/quad GPU configurations nor is the 80 Plus Bronze certification which offers up to 90% efficiency, what matters is that it offers very stable power and does so at nearly inaudible levels. The 100% modular design along with the 3 fan ports and the COOL-OFF feature are also very important additions but at least for me perhaps what's even more important than those is the rugged design be quiet! gave the Power Zone line.

   In the previous paragraph we said that the Power Zone 1000W 80 Plus Bronze PSU was the ideal choice for people seeking to hit the sweet spot between performance and price and we ment it since currently it retails for just USD139.99 inside the USA (NCIX - Limited Offer) and 115Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk). Granted the battle around that price range is quite fierce with solutions by many of the leading manufacturers however out of those not many have the power output of the Power Zone 1000W while even less have a future-proof 100% modular design and can maintain inaudible levels especially when delivering power levels far above their rated one. Bottom line you can't go wrong with the latest Power Zone 1000W PSU by be quiet! which is why it gets our Golden Award.
