Be Quiet's reputation as a premium brand has gone from strength to strength in the PC hardware industry. Be Quiet perhaps became famous for their Dark Rock series of CPU coolers but alongside those they have had huge successes with their Shadow Rock CPU coolers, Silent Wings fans and their power supplies. Be Quiet have an extensive range of power supplies that span all different market segments starting with Dark Power Pro, then Straight Power, then Pure Power, then SFX Power, then TFX Power and then System Power. These roughly follow in order of "how good" they are with Dark Power Pro being the most premium series and System Power being the most basic.
Today we are looking at Be Quiet's "second tier" of power supplies as we examine the Straight Power E9 680W CM semi modular power supply from Be Quiet. This power supply has all the premium features we'd expect to see from Be Quiet but at a more affordable price point compared to the Dark Power Pro. In fact the particular unit that we have today is more than capable of powering a whole variety of enthusiast class systems with 1-2 GPUs and even heavy power consuming platforms like X79.

It has been a long time coming, but finally the king has graced us with its presence! The Noctua NH-D14 was released back on November 2nd 2009 and it has been the benchmark for high performance air coolers ever since that day. Despite that we've never actually gotten around to producing a review of this amazing cooler. So I asked Noctua if they could provide us with one and they duly delivered. With us pushing forward and testing so many CPU coolers it is easy to get lost in the mountain of numbers but what easier way to make it through than with some Noctua NH-D14 results as a signpost.
You may be thinking, this review is a bit late, isn't it kind of pointless? Well not really I'd say. Firstly we are reviewing the NH-D14 SE2011, or the "Special Edition". This was released back on November 2nd 2011 - exactly two years after the original Noctua NH-D14 came to market making it around 18 months old. The changes are minimal but it brings LGA 2011 support and some improved fans. Nonetheless the NH-D14 has never been more relevant for high performance CPU cooling and to this day it still probably outsells every other dual tower CPU cooler on the market. That said I think you'll agree that it's about time we gave the Noctua NH-D14 a thorough going over to show you why most enthusiasts regard this as the best air CPU cooler on the market. And let's face it with the NH-D14 selling by the boatload, with Noctua struggling to produce them fast enough, I wouldn't be surprised if we see it last for at least a few more years before a successor is introduced.
Furthermore if that hasn't made you excited enough then we've also opted to add a third fan, an NF-F12, and see how the NH-D14 performs under triple fan testing!
Cougar aren't exactly the first brand name you think of when we mention power supplies. Cougar have made a name for themselves with some uniquely styled cases and fans at affordable price points but their involvement in the power supply market is certainly something relatively new. Cougar's Power X 550W power supply that we have with us today is one of these brand new power supplies from Cougar. Like a lot of companies selling power supplies Cougar are not actively involved in producing these power supplies as they are produced by HEC/Compucase. That said Cougar are one of the few brands that I know of who actually bring HEC/Compucase OEM power supplies to market (most use Seasonic, FSP, etc) so I am very interested to have a look at this power supply, so without any further ado let us do exactly that!
Today we are looking at a high end power supply from Cooler Master, the V Series 700W. This range comprises a 750W, 850W and 1000W unit. We reviewed the 1000W unit back in May this year. These are all pure modular designs with 80 Plus Gold Certification and a full five year warranty.
The Be Quiet! Pure Power L8 500W Power Supply is a great power supply for the money. It's 80 Plus Bronze certified, comes with a super quiet 120mm fan & sleeved leads. If you're in the market for a lower wattage PSU, this just might be it!
Expanding upon the success of the V1000, Cooler Master's V850 brings the same performance to the table, but with a tad less power.
Fractal Design's Tesla R2 PSU series gives you a bit of bang for your buck, without skimping on performance. Today we look at the 1000W model.
Enermax are one of the biggest names in high end power supplies these days and the Platimax branding has recognition throughout the industry as being one of the most efficient power supply units available thanks to its association with the 80 Plus Platinum certification. Today we have with us one of these units as we test the Enermax Platimax 850W power supply. The Platimax series from Enermax is aimed at the top-end user and the particular unit we have with us today, the Enermax Platimax 850W, is aimed at the user with dual GPU configurations (SLI or CFX) and quite a thirsty overall system.
Enermax certainly haven't skimped out on this power supply and are throwing an impressive 5 year warranty behind it, a custom 140mm Twister bearing fan, high quality components and a whole range of protections and certifications. If you are looking for a high-end power supply then Enermax certainly give the impression that this is one of the best options, but as always let us find out if this is the case as we put the Enermax Platimax 850W through its paces in this review!
Cougar est une marque que nous voyons assez peu en France, pourtant nous avons vu durant le dernier Computex que cette dernière était très active avec une ribambelle de nouveaux produits à venir. Claviers, souris, ventilateurs, boitiers et alimentations sont au programme et nous nous attardons justement ce jour sur la CMX 700, un bloc qui ne manque pas de charmes.
