be quiet! continues to improve their position for high-end Power Supplies and now releases the Dark Power 14 series, available in three models at 1200W, 1000W, and 850W. The Dark Power series represents the best that be quiet! offers and the 14 series features an integrated massive high-performance cooling module including a large heat sink with passive cooling potential and an integrated fan, designed for ultra-silent operation. The Dark Power 14 series supports 80 PLUS Titanium and Cybenetics Titanium1 efficiency, ATX 3.1 compatibility, support for PCIe 5.1 GPUs, and the option to switch between single and multi-rail operation. Dark Power 14 is designed for advanced, high-resolution gaming with the latest graphics cards, overclocked next-gen systems, and media creation and render workstations.

The Dark Power 14 is certified with 80 PLUS Titanium and Cybenetics Titanium1 for a stunning energy efficiency rating of up to 95.57%. This provides lots of benefits for a high-end system, including less power consumption and an overall cooler and quieter operation. At the heart of each model lies Full Bridge + Synchronous Rectifier + LLC technology that provides unmatched signal stability and extremely high efficiency, supported by premium-quality Japanese capacitors rated to 105°C for maximum reliability and longevity.

The newly developed aluminum heat sink supports the semi-passive cooling concept and improves the longevity of the components. A button on the rear of the power supply allows switching between a balanced active cooling mode, where the Silent Wings fan spins all the time, or a semi-passive mode, where the fan does not spin under low load and only starts when additional cooling is required for more demanding operations. The fan itself is integrated directly into the heat sink, making it immune to vibrations. A 6-pole fan motor and fluid-dynamic bearing ultimately make for exceptionally long lifetime and minimal power consumption.

Dark Power 14 is an ATX 3.1 PSU and comes with native integration of up to two 12V-2x6 and four PCIe 6+2-pin connectors for next-generation and current-generation GPUs. This makes the PSU extremely versatile and perfect for current and future high-end systems. The full-mesh front with funnel-shaped air inlet upholds the high air circulation abilities, ensuring optimal thermal performance even under maximum load.

Dark Power 14 is particularly suitable for overclocking. With the simple push of a button, you can manually switch between multi-rail and single-rail mode. This gives you full overclocking control between the default four 12V-rail mode and the alternative massive single-rail operation.

Modular, sleeved cables simplify component installation and reduce annoying clutter. This results in increased airflow and improved cooling in even the largest PC cases. Each Dark Power 14 model comes with comprehensive protection against overcurrent, overvoltage and undervoltage, short circuits, overheating, overload, and voltage surges on the input side. Product conception, design and quality control in Germany ensures the highest standards, backed by a comprehensive 10-year manufacturer’s warranty.

Dark Power 14 will be available in retail starting October 28 at the following suggested retail pricing: $309.90 / €309.90 (1200W), $274.90 / €274.90 (€1000W), or $229.90 / €229.90 (850W).

THE HIGHEST EFFICIENCY POSSIBLE

Dark Power 14 1000W is certified with 80 PLUS® Titanium and Cybenetics Titanium for a stunning energy efficiency rating of up to 95.5%. This provides lots of benefits for a high-end system, including less power consumption and an overall cooler and quieter operation.

NEXT GEN

Dark Power 14 1000W is an ATX 3.1 PSU and comes with both native integration of the 12V-2x6 connector for next-generation PCIe 5.1 graphics cards and 4 PCIe 6+2-pin connectors for support of current-gen GPUs. This makes the PSU extremely versatile and perfect for current and future high-end systems.

PUSH THE BUTTON!

A button on the rear of the power supply allows switching between a balanced active cooling mode, where the Silent Wings fan spins all the time, or a semi-passive mode, where the fan does not spin under low load and only starts when additional cooling is required for more demanding operations. A post-ventilation setting keeps the fan spinning after cooling down for a short period of 2–5 minutes to prevent frequent and noisy starts and stops.

HEAT SINK AND INTEGRATED SILENT WINGS

A large heat sink connects to the parts of the power supply that need the most cooling and dissipates a large portion of the heat. Even though a Titanium efficiency power supply does not generate as much heat, active cooling is required to prevent overheating issues under high load. Nothing less than the very best fan of be quiet! cools Dark Power 14 1000W. Being integrated directly into the heat sink, this high-end fan is immune to vibrations and sits unshakably. A 6-pole fan motor and fluid-dynamic bearing ultimately make for exceptionally long lifetime and minimal power consumption.

READY FOR OVERCLOCKING

Dark Power 14 1000W is particularly suitable for overclocking. With the simple push of a button, it is possible to manually switch between multi-rail and single-rail mode. This gives full overclocking control between the default four 12V-rail mode and the alternative massive single-rail operation.

PEAK TECHNOLOGY

Dark Power 14 1000W is state-of-the-art technology. With an Active Rectifier and full bridge LLC Technology it offers some of the most advanced technologies available, resulting in higher efficiency, better regulation and lower ripple noise for an incomparably stable operation.

105°C CAPACITORS FROM JAPAN

Each component in Dark Power 14 1000W is carefully selected. That is why we have exclusively used high-quality Japanese capacitors for this PSU. They are rated to 105°C, ensure stability, reliability, and a long operating life.

PERFECTLY MODULAR

Modular, sleeved cables measuring up to 120cm in length simplify component installation and reduce annoying clutter. This results in increased airflow and improved cooling in even the largest PC cases.
