    Worse than a China firecracker power supply unit

    After three years of careful use (only lightly loaded) a capacitor or something burst, in any case there was a bang! The brand name is a mockery (Be quiet).

    P.S. Fun Fact: 5 days after I wrote the above, Digitec writes that
    I can sell the part! :-)

    • Does not break until 1 year after the warranty expires

    Silent

    I am very satisfied with it, the fan is not the only thing you hear. What bothers me are the cables, I thought they were all sleeved, but if you hide them well you don't see them anyway.

    Don't know how it sounds, couldn't hear it yet

    Supplies reliable power for my computer, couldn't hear it yet, as the CPU cooler is always louder and the hard drive anyway.
    Unfortunately, the various cables are tediously grouped together, so I had to buy additional SATA
    power cables to connect everything.
    The CM thing isn't that great either, the only cables I could save were the GPU cables because my GPU doesn't need one. The cables that come with it don't allow you to populate all the ports on the PSU.

    Good and quiet.

    Solid power supply with modular cable management, perfect for mid-range builds. The fan is very quiet, as you would expect from be quiet! I have it installed in my living room media centre PC and it is inaudible even when the room is quiet. The ribbon cables have proven to be beneficial for my PC.

    Purchase worthwhile, strong and quiet

    Wonderful. I especially liked the workmanship and the quality/combination possibility of the cables.

    Contra

    • Cable length could perhaps become tight with larger PCs? Pay attention to length
    • Was a bit tricky because of the length until the mainboard was connected (Midi 700 Tower from BeQuiet).

    Fits!

    Currently installed in a "standard" PC with not too much content. For PCs with more content, I would recommend a power supply unit with more modular connections.

    Extremely quiet and good looking. However, it has a few connections for the power cables (you can also see this in the pictures). Possibly there could be a problem with many hard drives or so...

    Everything is good, except the cables are minimally short. Almost didn't go to my Graka.

    Ultra modular and compatible with the old Be Quiet power supply cables! I think it's great, otherwise quiet and does its job well

    Does what it should and very quietly

    In my setup, the power cord is not audible. I probably only need half of the 500W.

    The installation went quite well. The fixed cables are a bit stiff, though. I had to choke a bit in my mATX case. The modular cables don't
    have a cable tube, but superfluous connectors can be cut off easily and cleanly.

    Packaging and scope of delivery are good.

    Top power supply in my opinion.

    The power supply is perhaps a little expensive, but absolutely top. Decent workmanship, silver award, modular cables.
    You can't go wrong with this power supply.
    Only flaw; Be Quiet delivered the power supply with a German
    plug, which had to be replaced by Digitec, which took a few days longer until the power supply was ready for use. Since Digitec delivered the replacement cable free of charge, this is bearable. 

    Pro

    • Quiet fan
    • Efficiency
    • Processing
    • Modular cable harnesses
    • Digitec supplied the matching CH mains cable free of charge.

    Contra

    • Price rather high
    • German mains plug supplied, not compatible with CH
