Third Dark Power Pro 10 receives Award at TechpowerUp
TechpowerUp is one of the most influential websites when it comes to power supply reviews. The test parcours is difficult and extensive. The website liked that our power supply can support full output power at a torturous 50°C. Above that the performance was great as they had seen in previously reviewed models in the series. The voltages were tightly regulated and the ripple/noise as low as it can get. They also particularly liked the rich package filled with loads of cables and accessories. “You don't have many reasons left not to buy this
unit if you are out searching for a high-end PSU and take into account that the Dark Power Pro 1000 W is wisely priced.” to the article » |

Silent like a ninja the Dark Power Pro 10 finds new friends over at Ninjalane
American review site Ninjalane tested the Dark Power Pro 10 and finds it fit for duty at the ninja corps. The site loved the silent operation and the Overclocking Key made an impression as well since it allows users to switch to single +12V high performance mode. The overall silent concept was well received and the modularity plus choice of connectors was found matchless. “There are two things that define the Dark Power Pro 10 product line. The first is silent operation and with a name like be quiet you can count on them taking this aspect
seriously. The second is a performance tuning option that allows you to bridge the four 12v power rails into a single high capacity rail.” to the article » |
