The performance of the power supply is exceptional on all fronts; the ripple suppression and voltage regulation are great, the efficiency is very high and the Dark Power Pro 10 is surprisingly cool and quiet considering its power output.

Even the unique external appearance and feel of the Dark Power Pro 10 850W unit cry out that this is a very high quality product, if the 5 year long warranty was not enough of a proof.

Even though the power supply itself is excellent, there is a huge issue regarding Be Quiet!’s products however and that is no other than the availability of their units. Although the company is now trying to infiltrate the North American consumer markets, it is very difficult to find their products available.
