This makes them perfect for people who want wireless convenience but do not have Qi-compatible devices. Magnetic chargers work like any other wired charger would: they send an electric current through two coils of copper wire (one inside the device that charges and one outside) so electricity is transferred from point A to point B without any physical connection. They use magnetic induction technology, which means you can simply attach the cable to your phone and it will start charging - no plugging in or fumbling with wires required. In fact, given the cost of the supply, we'd only consider it for proper HEDT setups it's wonderfully overkill for anything else.Д«acked by a 10-year warranty, let's run the numbers and see if it can produce best-ever results.Magnetic charging cables are a popular way to charge your phone wirelessly. That's plenty enough for any esoteric build, including systems with dual graphics cards and overclocked CPUs.

The supply offers a total 100A on the 12V rail(s), a combined 50A on the 3.3V and 5V rails, and 0.5V and 3.5V for -12V and 5VSB, respectively. Knowing that Nvidia's next-generation Ampere cards use a mini-12-pin connector, be quiet! is bundling in its own connector in retail packs, though our sample arrived without.

Soldering is first class, too, with all daughterboards offering a clean layout. No complaints for not having a proper semi-fanless mode. As you will see later, the PSU is almost silent at all loads.

be quiet! says its super-low rotation rate infers near-silent operation, spinning at below 700rpm between 0-60 percent loads, and only rising to 1,220rpm (of a possible 2,600rpm) at full chat. DPP12 continues the tradition of having the fan spin at all times. On top, the fine-mesh cover enables the fan to draw in low-turbulence airflow. The 135mm fan sits within a funnel which directs airflow to the components.

Not that anyone would need lots of cooling on an 80 PLUS Titanium supply, of course. The aluminium chassis looks like a great choice for acting as an external heatsink but this is not the case there's clear plastic surrounding the PCB and isolating it from the body. Opening it up shows how be quiet! goes about building this range-topper. It plugs into the three-pin header and then takes up a PCIe backplane slot for the switch we reckon it would be better to have a hardwired switch on the chassis instead, saving space in systems where all slots are populated. Note the OCK connector? For those that prefer the simplicity of a single-rail system, there's an overclocking key for that very purpose. Lengths and amounts are plentiful - including up to 10 PCIe (6+2-pin), dual 12V P8, and lots of SATA - and they've been designed to fit into the largest of chassis.Д«y default, the supply has six 12V rails and a handy little diagram explains how each port is wired up. be quiet! includes black single-sleeved cables and combs for that extra bit of luxury. Our 1,200W model weighs 2.4kg and measures 200mm deep, 150mm wide and 86mm tall, so make sure there is enough room in your system.ДЄs expected, the connectors are fully modular.

Though built beautifully, the chassis corners are rather too sharp for our liking, ending in points rather than being curved. The aluminium enclosure is built to a high standard and looks and feels different to anything that's come before, ostensibly to provide room for a frameless Silent Wings 3 135mm FDB fan. In improving every small facet that aids efficiency, be quiet! has also revised the chassis completely. There can clearly be very little wastage in converting mains AC power to computer 12V power, and only a handful of supplies are able to ramp up electrical excellence to this level.Д«e quiet! uses a fully digital control for the power factor correction (PFC), LLC (coils and capacitors), and SR (synchronous rectifier), and though the previous champ, DPP11, also uses the same general full-bridge topology in meting out high efficiency, its platform doesn't have such fine control. There is nothing higher than 80 PLUS Titanium in the efficiency stakes, which means at least 90 percent efficiency at 10 percent load, rising up to a whopping 96 percent at 50 percent. be quiet! follows this line of thinking as DPP12 arrives in 1,200W and 1,500W capacities priced at ВЈ370 and ВЈ420, respectively. Well-known supply-side issues and ironing out a few wrinkles has led to the supply being pushed back to September 2020.Д«eing a best-in-breed PSU with excellent efficiency, it only makes sense to have it available in higher wattages for platforms such as AMD Ryzen Threadripper and Intel Core i9/Xeon. At that time, it was expected the Dark Power Pro 12 80 PLUS Titanium-certified supply would be available in March. Be quiet! unveiled its best-ever PSUs in January at the CES trade show.
