Be Quiet! Equips its Power Supplies with Black Cables

btarunr · May 10, 2016

Be quiet!, the market leader in PC power supplies in Germany for ten consecutive years, has optimized the look of several power supplies by switching to all-black cables from now on. In addition to high-quality technology, stable power supply, and first-class workmanship, the design is a key component of each be quiet! product. Therefore, the German company has decided to equip the PSU series Dark Power Pro 11, Straight Power 10, Pure Power 9 and System Power 8 (some bulk versions excluded) with black cables. This allows for a modern look through a clean interior design of the PC. There have been no technical changes.

Black cables were an often-heard wish of the customers, who value a high-quality look of their computer. Therefore, the Pure Power 9 and System Power 8 models were already fitted with these cables at market launch. Now be quiet! has upgraded the Dark Power Pro 11 as well as the Straight Power 10 series by equipping them with black cables. The product name remains unaffected, as well as the price.

Hmm, nothing new here, I already got a BeQuiet! PSU with black cables.

And I always buy stuff before they make positive changes. Oh well. If I'm realistic, I don't really care. Colored cables within black sleeves aren't all that visible.

Meanwhile down under....

Corsair, Antec as well as Seasonic & other big players in the PSU market have been using black cables for close to if not just under a decade. Congrats Be Quiet - now you get to wear a special badge and become part of a very exclusive club. (said nobody ever...)

Never heard of BeQuiet before? They're very big in Germany. Their Dark Power Pro series gets very good reviews.
