80 PLUS® TITANIUM CERTIFIED

The highest efficiency certificate available

Dark Power Pro 13 1600W is certified with 80 PLUS Titanium and a money-saving energy efficiency rating of up to 94.5%. This provides lots of benefits for your high-end system, including less power consumption and an overall cooler and quieter operation. The standby drain is below 0.1 watts.

FUTURE-PROOF YOUR SYSTEM

Fulfills all ATX 3.0 specifications

Dark Power Pro 13 1600W is an ATX 3.0 PSU and comes with both native integration of the two 12VHPWR connectors for next-generation PCIe 5.0 graphics cards, and 6 PCIe 6+2-pin connectors for support of current-gen GPUs. This makes the PSU extremely versatile and the perfect choice for present high-end systems and the ones to come.

THE NEW STANDARD OF POWER

For massive transient loads

Dark Power Pro 13 offers 1600W of continuous power with 6 independent 12V rails. Even if the graphics card demands excessive power for a short time: Dark Power Pro 13 1600W handles power excursions up to double its rated power with ease. This ensures reliable operation with the next generation of processors and graphics cards.

STATE-OF-THE-ART DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY

Rock-steady signal stability and efficiency

Experience the most technologically advanced power supply be quiet! has ever built! Using an advanced digital full bridge LLC technology results in higher efficiency, better regulation and lower ripple noise for an incomparably stable operation.

FRAMELESS SILENT WINGS FAN

Patented fan technology for virtually inaudible operation

The improved tripod-mounted be quiet! Silent Wings fan enables maximum airflow and a virtually inaudible operation. This is thanks to its unique, airflow-optimized fan blade design along with an advanced fluid-dynamic bearing. A 6-pole fan motor ultimately makes for less vibration, super-long life and minimal power consumption.

INNOVATIVE COOLING CONCEPT

For a longer lifespan

The split fan inlet of the Dark Power Pro 13 1600W is a specially shaped funnel that increases airflow while reducing unwanted turbulence. The wire-free design inside allows the cool air to reach all components flawlessly which ultimately leads to a longer lifespan.

READY FOR EXTREME OVERCLOCKING

Pushing the performance of your PSU to the max

Dark Power Pro 13 1600W is particularly suitable for liquid nitrogen or helium overclocking, thanks to its state-of-the-art digital regulation. The overclocking key empowers you to manually switch between the default six 12V-rail mode and the alternative massive single-rail operation.

JAPANESE 105°C CAPACITORS

A testament to high quality

Only the best components are used in Dark Power Pro 13 1600W. That is why this PSU features exclusively high-quality Japanese capacitors. They are rated at 105°C for stability, reliability, and a long operating life.

HIGHEST CONVENIENCE

Modular cables for maximum utility

Individually sleeved cables of up to 120cm and cable combs simplify component installation and reduce annoying clutter. This results in increased airflow and improved cooling – even in the largest PC cases. 

MAGNIFICENT APPEARANCE

No compromises

Dark Power Pro 13 1600W not only captivates with its inner values. An extraordinary aluminum case and individually sleeved cables emphasize the highest standards of Dark Power Pro 13 1600W also on the outside.

“The Dark Power series has always been and will always be the maximum we are capable of. Be it cutting edge performance, virtually inaudible operation or state-of-the-art technology: The Dark Power series has it all.”

Christian Rex, Head of BU PSU
