be quiet! Pure Power 11 FM 1000 W

[crmaris]

The be quiet! Pure Power 11 FM 1000 W costs less than the Corsair RM1000x and EVGA 1000 G5, which makes it a good price/performance pick. This is the best platform I have seen from HEC, but is it good enough to meet the competition eye-to-eye?

This seems like a totally fine PSU; nothing outstandingly amazing about it, but nothing which would make it unsafe. The issue I see in this market is that once your PC actually starts to need a kilowatt, chances are you have either an HEDT system and/or a 3090-class card; if you can afford these, then you can most likely also afford to spend another $20 on the RM1000X since absolute pric-to-performance is no longer of utmost concern. With that being said, it is always good to have another decent option on the market, since not all regions have the same availability.

Thank you as always for the review!

What competition?
PSU they are not high end graphic cards, tiny differences at PSU benchmark charts they are of low importance.
With electric bills skyrocketing, only one test has value today and this is not executed.

Spot on! There's no room for mediocrity at the flagship end of the spectrum.
Mediocrity belongs in the value/entry-level territory where it's absolutely fine to have an average PSU that's cheap.

Inrush current... 1165 watts at once? Well, for 230V it won't be hard to find circuit breakers, it will be that big black smoking hole on the wall.

Sure , things such as :
-out-of -spec ripple (very common few years ago even at well known brands) which in long-term can damage the rest of your hardware , or reduce the PSU's capacitors-longevity
-out-of spec hold-up time ,which if it is low enough can cause a PC with a UPS to close during a power-outage before the UPS manage to be activated(*and since you live in Greece like me you should know how bad is the electrical foundation in our country)
-low build quality components , like fans or low-end capacitors who might fail during stressful situations ,or the lack of proper built-in protection features in many PSUs that can lead the PSU to operate at higher than optimal temperatures , etc etc ...

all these are some of the tiny differences of low importance... for you , but for me ,all these i mentioned are huge differences of great importance which are directly related with the longevity of the rest of my hardware. And since i don't like throw-away my money , i pay extra attention to all these "low-importance" details.

With electric bills skyrocketing, only one test has value today and this is not executed.

May i ask which is this test which has value but not executed ? (if you are referring to PSU efficiency , just check page 5 .)
Aris reviews are the most detailed PSU that you will find ... globally !!
Perhaps the only solution is to make your own reviews that will meet higher -than the existing - standards.
Really , if you aren't satisfied with Aris standards then i don't think that you'll ever be satisfied. All these years he has been by far the most detailed PSU reviewer worldwide.

Hi,
Does be-quite have a USA rma center like corsair and evga ?

No you cannot.
If you were certified electrician, you would never have this question.
