About be quiet! BN516 Straight Power 12-1000w 80 Plus Platinum
Overall Feedback:
84% positive
77% appreciated the cooling mechanism, however 23% struggled
The internal layout and design of our product is well thought out and aids cooling for a given fan RPM, noise level, or output power.
When I put the PSU in the case with good airflow, it shuts down within 5-45 mins, but it works fine outside the case. This might be due to the cooling mechanism of the internal power supply.
78% appreciated the efficiency rating
The internal layout and design of our power supply is well thought-out and aids in cooling for a given fan RPM, noise level, or output power.
82% highlighted the modularity
I appreciate the modular design of the power supply, even though the motherboard power cord did not need to be modular.
82% liked the power output stability, but 18% didn't
I have run many games with no issues, indicating that the power supply is stable and reliable.
I have faced power output stability issues with the internal power supply since installing the product. I experience infrequent hard crashes, random power fluctuations, and overall instability.
68% were satisfied with protection features, yet 32% weren't
I have noticed that the PSU has a faulty or loose socket for the MB cable, which can cause issues with any bend. This may be related to the internal power supply's protection features.
I am concerned about damaging my graphics card due to the firm cable of the power supply. I worry about pushing the case too hard against the desk, which could put pressure on the PCI-e port and potentially damage the card.
83% found the operations silent
The be quiet PSU is near silent even when pushed hard, never getting louder than my radiator fans. My office is now incredibly peaceful.
