DARK POWER PROp8 1200W

Art.No. BN127

High end models for perfectionists

Is high resolution a must for your games and multimedia programs? The DARK POWER PRO power supply will keep your computer running at top form, with stable, reliable performance even when tackling the most challenging 3D CAD software.

DARK POWER PRO is the answer for anyone unwilling to accept the word "compromise". The power supply is a masterpiece of looks and technology and is the first choice for high-performance PC systems: The modular cable management system with removable cables of up to 115cm in length provides maximum flexibility and premium comfort. A variety of connection options facilitate top compatibility and delivery of power even for high-performance components. And thanks to the Ultra Silent Concept from be quiet! and external fan connectors, you can have both top cooling performance and whisper-quiet operation.
 

    Areas of application

  • High resolution Gaming und Multimedia
  • Server-based multi-CPU systems
  • 3D CAD graphics, photo editing and video editing software

    Extremely quiet operation using top fan technology

  • Ultra Silent Concept with be quiet! SilentWings fan technology (registered with the German patent office): The variety of electronic and mechanical optimisations, such as FDB bearings with copper cores, flow-optimised fan blades and high-quality IC motor control lead to more silent running, best-of-class air flow and very low noise emission
  • The RPMs on the fan are automatically governed based on the temperature

    Extremely economical operation

  • The very high efficiency of up to 92% reduces performance loss (waste heat) and also saves power
  • Fulfils the requirements of the environmental and energy-savings Energy Star 5.0 * guidelines
  • Low power consumption in stand-by mode (<0.3 W)
  • Fulfils the EuP guidelines

    For high-end multi-GPU applications

  • LLC resonance circuit with downstream DC/DC converter for extremely stable performance and high efficiency
  • Supports high-end multi-GPU applications, including dual/triple SLI and CrossFire configurations
  • Optional multi-rail operation with up to six independent 12V rails or switchover using overclocking key to high-performance single-rail operation

    Maximum compatibility for high-performance components

  • The cable management system offers up to 37 connectors and is designed to be compatible with older components as well as those not yet designed
  • Separate P4/P8 plugs for different mainboard types
  • Up to six PCIe connections for graphic cards running in multiple card configurations (dual or triple SLI and CrossFire)
  • Warning: Only use cable set delivered with Dark Power ProP8. Cable sets of older Dark Power Pro series or other be quiet! power supply units are incompatible with Dark Power ProP8

    Highly convenient usage

  • Modular cable management: The removable cable bundles make it easier to install components, provide a more orderly structure and promote better air circulation within the case
  • Clearly labelled plugs and clever accessories for simpler installation

    Ideal for large PC cases

  • Cable up to 115 cm in length make it perfect for large PC cases

    Top security and reliability

  • Top protection for components against over/under currents, short circuits, overheating and overloads
  • German engineering and internationally tested safety, confirmed by recognised testing labs
  • Full performance during 24/7 operation. Long service life of up to 100,000 hours.

    System cooling

  • Up to 4 case fans can be connected to provide optimal cooling of the case; these are then automatically regulated by the power supply depending on the temperature

    Outstanding service

  • 3 years manufacturer's guarantee
  • Free on-site exchange service within first year (D, F)
