Power Zone 2 1200W: Exceptional efficiency for gamers
Power Zone 2 1200W continues the legacy of be quiet!’s revived gaming PSU series with 80 PLUS® Platinum and Cybenetics Platinum certification, achieving up to 94.3% efficiency. The PSU features semi-passive zero-RPM cooling with a Pure Wings 3 140mm fan that remains silent under low and moderate loads, starting only when necessary and running for 2-5 minutes after load drops to avoid frequent starting noise and unnecessary wear.
Fully ATX 3.1 compliant and PCIe 5.1 compatible, Power Zone 2 1200W includes two 12V-2×6 cables with 90° angled connectors, each delivering up to 600W for the most demanding graphics cards, alongside three PCIe 6+2-pin connectors for current-generation GPUs. The topology is based on a half-bridge LLC with synchronous rectification and DC/DC conversion, featuring one massive high-performance 12V-rail delivering 100A. All cables are modular, black, flat cables for easy routing and a clean build appearance.
Pure Power 13 M 1200W: Exceptionally quiet and feature-rich
Pure Power 13 M 1200W expands the popular mainstream series with 80 PLUS® Gold certification, achieving up to 93.5% efficiency while maintaining the series’ hallmark silent operation. The PSU features a semi-passive temperature-controlled 120mm be quiet! fan that ensures virtually silent operation during low to medium loads and remarkably quiet active cooling under higher loads.
Thanks to a proven combination of LLC, SR, and DC/DC topology, Pure Power 13 M 1200W delivers exceptional stability and voltage regulation. Fully compliant with the ATX 3.1 standard and PCIe 5.1 ready, it features a 12V-2×6 connector delivering up to 600W alongside four traditional PCIe 6+2 connectors for maximum compatibility. The single 12V rail provides 100A of consistent power delivery, while fully modular cable management makes cable routing easier and reduces clutter inside the chassis.
