The Dark Power 13 is certified with 80 PLUS Titanium and has an energy efficiency of up to 95.2% for saving money. This provides many benefits for your high-end system, including lower power consumption and an overall cooler and quieter operation. The standby power consumption is below 0.1 watts.
ATX 3.0
The Dark Power 13 1000W is an ATX 3.0 power supply and features both native integration of the 12VHPWR connector for next-generation PCIe 5.0 graphics cards, as well as PCIe 6+2 pin connectors to support current-generation GPUs. This makes the power supply extremely versatile and the ideal choice for today's high-tech systems and future ones.
Japanese Capacitors 105°
Manufactured with 100% Japanese industrial-grade electrolytic capacitors, rated at 105°C, for unwavering power and reliability.
Fully Modular
The modular cables with a sheath length of up to 120 cm simplify the installation of components and reduce annoying clutter. The result is increased airflow and improved cooling even in the largest PC cases.
LLC Topology
With active rectifier and full bridge LLC technology, the Dark Power 13 offers some of the most advanced technologies available, resulting in higher efficiency, better regulation, and lower ripple noise for an incomparably stable operation
Ready for Overclocking
With a dedicatedbutton for full control over overclocking, manually switching between the default four 12V rail mode and the alternative single rail mass mode.
Performance Under Heavy Loads
The Dark Power 13 offers continuous power of 1000W with 4 independent 12V rails. Even if the graphics card demands excessive power for a short period: It easily handles power surges up to twice its rated power. This ensures reliable operation with the next generation of processors and graphics cards.
Silent Fan
The be quiet! Silent Wings fan allows for maximum airflow and nearly silent operation. This is due to the unique, airflow-optimized fan blade design along with an advanced fluid dynamic bearing. A 6-pole fan motor ultimately ensures fewer vibrations, extremely long lifespan, and minimal energy consumption.
At the same time, the cable-free design inside allows cool air to perfectly reach all components, which ultimately leads to a longer lifespan

I have nothing to write. It is the most beautiful piece of hardware I have ever seen... Of course, it is overkill for my system, but I wanted something extremely high quality that will last for a decade or more...
One of the highest quality power supplies I have seen. The build quality is incredible. I recently installed it in my system and encountered issues with the wiring because it did not allow the system to function, whereas it worked with the old power supply. Once the wiring was replaced, it worked fine.
Purchased for €260 on 11/23/18. The review is about the 850-watt power supply.
Very good packaging and separate box for the cables. Even though it was purchased for the Rtx 3060 (which doesn't require the ATX 3.0 cable), it has more than enough cables to connect the CPU, GPU, multiple SATA devices, and of course, the motherboard.
Very important, the power supply is completely silent. I have it right next to me on the desk and I don't hear anything at all.
So far, without having done any measurements, etc., I declare that it works flawlessly.
I will come back after a year of use.
Setup:
- CPU: i7 12700k
- GPU: Geforce RTX3060 12gb OC
- Motherboard: z690 aorus elite ddr4
- RAM: 32gb kingston fury beast
- PSU: be quiet dark power 13
- 2x M.2 NVMe SSDs Western Digital SN770
- CPU Cooler: AiO be quiet pure loop fx 2
I got the power supply for upgrading my Allrounder PC. It provides power to:
1) 13900K (5.7-6.1GHz without Watt restriction) on Asus Rog Strix Z790-H
2) 64Gb DDR5 Ram @7600 (GSkill)
3) 4x GEN 4 M.2 SSDs
4) Strix 4080
I mostly hear the 4 140mm fans and 3 120mm fans from ARCTIC and EK respectively (when they need to work above 40%) rather than the power supply. Each cable included is sleeved and they are all bundled together like a thick cable, which is incredibly convenient for cable management. The quality of the connectors is even better than custom cables I have used in the past. It includes a bracket for a PCI port in the case with an on/off switch with a LED, which converts it to a single rail. Of course, it also includes the corresponding BeQuiet cable for the 600W NVidia cards. The overall external appearance is so well-crafted that it impresses!
