PurePower 11FM 1000W review. Be Quiet! Expands the range of PSUs, especially in the top range, churning out new 850W and 1000W models for the most demanding
A few months ago we introduced you to one of the three models we then had Be Quiet! had presented on the market, it was the 750W model, which had positively surprised us for its great malleability and load resistance. We were therefore left with a promise from the German manufacturer, one that would land on the market with new solutions from the same family, raising the bar even more, and today, we are here to talk to you about the very good model. 1000W.
Introduced the new models from 850W e 1000W, revised internally, with first-class components, and are created to offer the best to the most demanding, supporting the most demanding configurations.
We have the BN325 model, in super preview just to let you know, a few days ago we announced the launch. The new model has a goal, to be completely modular, to fully support overclocking operations, which we know are typical of the most powerful configurations. Pure Power 11FM 1000W is an 80 PLUS Gold model, Dual Rail for 12V, therefore a guaranteed delivery stability, and much more, which you will discover in the full review.
Be Quiet! aim high | PurePower 11FM 1000W review
In the package we find the typical and now solid quality to which Be Quiet! got us used to it. We have one 24mm 20/550-pin ATX connector, two 8mm 4V 12/600-pin EPS / ATX cables, two 8mm and 6mm PCIe 500/150-pin connectors respectively, one SATA / MOLEX cable and two Classic SATA. We then have a 120mm fluid bearing type fan, which ensures a noise range that should dance in the range tra 32.1 dB(A) e 23.6 dB(A).
It is made of aluminum with a great absolutely premium build quality, as well as the cable entries, of excellent quality. And the design, albeit simple, doesn't mind at all. The cable entry is perfect, as is the extraction, which is not difficult as unfortunately not infrequently happens with lower-end PSUs. The new product features flat black cables for all common connections while an ATX 20 + 4 pin power cable with a black sheath. The power supply has a size of 160mm x 150mm x 86mm. This PSU however, does not have a PCIe 5.0 power connector, but we will not see it at the moment, it should be a standard that should be used with next generation high-end graphics cards, all in the making.
To accompany the power supply circuitry protection systems such as OCP, OVP, UVP, SCP, OTP, OPP and of 5 years warranty. A'efficiency that of the Pure Power 11 FM 1000W which reaches 93%, with advanced operating voltage regulation systems such as LLC, SR e DC-to-DC. This ensures reliable operation with the current generation of processors and graphics cards, but above all stability under extreme load. Be Quiet! with this model promises the ability to use nearly 100% of maximum capacity, (of 1000W) using the two 12V tracks, with a power of 5V and 3.3V provided by DC-to-DC converters. This provides users with stable power output, optimal efficiency and up to 120W of power with 5V and 3.3V circuitry. With capacitors, obviously Japanese.

The PSU, tested with this build, proved to be an excellent PSU from all points of view, very consistent especially as regards its noise level, which is in line with what the company stated. Its modularity allows a clean and fast installation, and the structure of the cables is very solid, including their quality. The power supply has withstood all conditions of use to perfection, both during the execution of various benchmarks and during programs Stress Test protracted for sessions of 20 - 25 minutes, which in overclocking conditions, even very high.
Conclusions and price
With 80+ Gold efficiency levels, and well 1000W of power and a design optimized to work in complete silence, the PurePower 11 FM 1000W by be quiet is in conclusion a power supply that we cannot recommend to you. Especially important energy saving features such as the latest ones Intel C6/C7, ErP/EuP oppure l’Energy Star 8.0.
It costs about 155 Euros, and for its qualities, the value for money makes it an interesting product to definitely take into consideration. Our review of the new PurePower 11FM ends here, we advise you to continue following our pages to discover all the news from the Hardware world.
