Let’s take a look at the package and accessories next.
It seems like a reliable and nice looking psu but who actually makes this psu ? Is it made for PowerZone ?
Be Quiet designs their own PSUs and then has a 3rd party manufacture them. currently they are using FSP.
I figured as much. The interior looks like FSP, as I mentioned in the review. Thanks for the info!
Yep! I’ve been looking for one of the 1Kw versions and finally found one on newegg for $119.99 which is an amazing price when you take into consideration that these models were $189.99 at launch! Most reviews I’ve read say that it passes 80+ silver and even gold in some situations! Be Quiet is the number one manufacturer of PSU’s in Europe and I’m happy to finally get my hands on one! My R9 290 CF rig needs this PSU as it will not run with the current 800w Lepa PSU that I have now. As soon as it shows up on my doorstep and I have a chance to put it through the paces I’ll let you know what I think…great review by the way.
