be quiet! Pure Power 9 600W PSU review

Rating: 8.0.

Today we are looking at one of the new power supplies from leading German brand be quiet! The new Pure Power 9 range is a dual 12V rail design which has achieved 80 Plus Silver certification. The new design adopts a 120mm noise optimised fan and is modular, with high grade flat cables set to aid the appearance of the final system build.

The Pure Power 9 supplies will be offered in 400 watt (£54.99), 500 watt (£64.99), 600 watt and 700 watt (£89.99) capacities. Today we look at the 600 watt model, which is set to hit retail around the £74.95 inc vat mark.

It is not a shock considering their name, but be quiet! have always placed a focus on releasing near silent products, and we have been impressed over the years with their coolers and fan designs.
