Conclusion
With the Pure Power 9 700W be quiet! offers a decent PSU. The
agressive price of 100 Euro makes it attractive for low-end and mid-rang
gaming PC's. Another interesting application are home servers. However, we would
recomend a PSU with higher efficiency for this purpose because of the noise, the
heat, the higher electricity usage and the HDD connectors might be an issue.
The fan can be considered as quite silent over a wide power range. When you give
full load to the PSU the fan becomes quite audible.
be quiet! has combined a nice and decent design with reasonable
manufacturing quality. The parts, which are used to build this unit are quite
good, if you keep the low price in mind. Because of the use of cheap Taiwanese
Teapo capacitors we however do not recommend this device for applications which
require high reliability or an extremely long lifespan.
The
be quiet! Pure Power 9 700W receives
3.5 out of 5 stars.
