Be Quiet! just announced Pure Power 12 M, its second power supply series to receive full ATX 3.0 compatibility. Pure Power 12 M comes in five models with 550, 650, 750, 850 and 1000 watts. All models are certified 80 PLUS Gold, featuring high-class technology such as LLC topology and up to five PCIe connectors for both PCIe 5.0 GPUs and GPUs with PCIe 6+2 connectors. Additionally, Pure Power 12 M features fully modular cables for ease of installation. This makes Pure Power 12 M a future-proof choice for all who strive for a PSU with high performance and yet very low noise for their current- or next-gen graphics card. Also new to the product portfolio are DC2 and DC2 Pro thermal grease solutions. DC2 thermal grease is the choice for any cooling application that requires top heat transfer, while DC2 Pro is a liquid metal thermal paste that provides an extreme level of cooling performance for demanding systems.

Pure Power 12 M includes full support for the ATX 3.0 standard, which observes the power specifications defined by PCI Express 5.0. Compared to ATX 2.X, which supports high load peaks but does not define a maximum above the nominal power of the power supply, ATX 3.0 defines clear target values – specifically, the PCIe connection for the graphics card must allow load changes of up to three times the power consumption. Pure Power 12 M is designed to handle these extreme transient loads with ease. ATX 3.0 power supplies with 450 watts or more also require a new 12VHPWR connector, which is able to deliver significantly more power. Additionally, all Pure Power 12 M models also offer up to four ‘traditional’ PCIe 6+2 connectors for full graphics card compatibility. This makes the PSU extremely versatile and a perfect, future-proof choice for upcoming next-gen devices and current high-end systems alike

Here’s a video on the new product:

Thanks to LLC technology, Pure Power 12 M offers advanced stability and voltage regulation. All models are certified 80 PLUS® Gold, with a high operating efficiency of up to 93.2%, and include a full suite of safety features. Two independent 12V rails provide up to 1000 watts of continuous power. Pure Power 12 M integrates an exceptionally silent 120mm be quiet!-fan, which is temperature-controlled for the best balance between effective cooling and quietness. Airflow-optimized fan blades reduce turbulence, allowing for best-in-class quiet operation with excellent airflow. Pure Power 12 M includes fully modular cable management, to simplify component installation and reduce cable clutter in the chassis. With product conception, design, and quality control in Germany, all models receive a full 10-year manufacturer’s warranty.
