Last but by no means least, there are now 1,200 W versions of both the Power Zone 2 and Pure Power 13 M PSUs. The Power Zone 2 is primed for efficiency, carrying both an 80 Plus Platinum badge and a highly demanding Cybenetics Platinum certification. The fan inside is a custom 140 mm Pure Wings 3 model. This power supply is ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 compliant and comes with a 90° angled 12V-2×6 connector. This model will arrive on the 27th of January-
As for the Pure Power 13 M, it has an 80 Plus Gold efficiency logo (up to 93.5%), and is likewise compatible with ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1. Both models use LLC topology, and their voltage regulation should be able to take spikes up to twice their rated power, making these a safe bet for RTX 5090 graphics cards that tend to draw power in quick, high-amplitude bursts. Be Quiet says this version will be in stores on the 10th of February.
Oh, and do check out the gallery below for the full-sized versions. There's a Pretzel PC in there, and yes, it was tasty.

Dr3ams I'm going to upgrade my bequiet! DarkBase 900 to The DarkBase Pro 901. I contacted Bequiet! and I got a confirmation that it was possible to order the right side panel. I don't like glass panels and wanted a solid one for the left side. The case would cost around 300 Euros, including the extra side panel. When I make the switch, I'll also be repasting the CPU and adding an extra 2 TB SSD. Reply
danwat1234 What is the actual cooling benefit going from the dark rock pro 4 to 5 to 6? 4 is 250w, 5 is 270w TDP, 6 any more or all show? BTW DRP 3 from like 15 years ago is also 250w TDP. Reply
