be quiet! Power Zone 2 1000W ATX 3.1 (2025) Review

The Power Zone 2 1000W ships in a dark box highlighting an image of the power supply on the front. I appreciate the minimalist design with only an 80 Plus Logo and a Cybenetic Platinum certification showing top left. Good to see be quiet! adopting the new Cybenetics standards – they are the ones that make the most technical sense now.

The rear of the box has more detail on the ‘developed in Germany' badge along with some key specifications and a power output table.

Inside the box are the accessories along with some literature, a power cable, cable ties and mounting screws.

The modular cables are all ribbon style, for ease of routing.

The cable quality is good and there are no in cable capacitors either. The gauge varies between 15-18AWG for the SATA and EPS12V cables. With the ATX connector a 16-22AWG gauge. The 12+4 Pin PCIe connector is 600mm long with a 600 watt rating and its 16-26AWG Gauge.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
