be quiet! Dark Power 12 Power Supply Review -- LGH

**Introducing Dark Power 12: A Game-Changing Power Supply**

As I unboxed the new build, I couldn't help but notice something remarkable. "Hey guys, check this out! Especially when you do a new build, use the cable I supply slide rule number one lots of straps and zip ties... oh wait, no way! This has a uh you guys here, I've got to take this out because I've never seen this before, this is actually a complete first for me."

**A Closer Look at the Power Supply**

There's some sort of little power connector thing here, and maybe that's to keep your power supply running if you weren't plugged into anything. And here we have dark power overclocking - all your cables for your video card and so on. So, you know that you're decked out with some really nice heavy cables that don't need to be actually bought unless you're looking for red or whatever like I do sometimes.

That would be the only reason why you would cover these as they are already covered for you, and that goes for all of it. So this looks like some sort of a Terminator, I'm going to have to look at what that does. And this still blows my mind because I don't know if I opened a titanium before, but oh look at this! I love this look.

**Upper End Power Supply Features**

Right off the bat, we're greeted with Dark Power 12 in Chrome, with a peel-off Be Quiet logo - nice touches right there. And I mean this is your upper end power supply, so you'd expect some neat things, but you don't expect this. This is really cool; it's a nice touch.

I like how Dark is thicker and Power is thinner, so the font's nice. Be Quiet at 12 and it's all in Chrome - beautiful, beautiful finish. Same thing inside here, it looks like the Be Quiet logo is Chromeed out on the fan, and I just love this. This is the best coolest thing I've seen on a power supply in a long time.

**Specifications and Features**

Of course, we have your power, and of course, it's good for 110 or 240. These power supplies are made in Germany, and they're Universal. So, there's the power switch, vented, and then over here, we have the stats on the power supply.

**Overclocking Capabilities**

And this is what I love about this power supply more than anything - any modular power supply. There's the overclocking so that's where that plugs in right there. I've never seen overclocking on a power supply before in my life. So, motherboard motherboard - you'll have two goes in goes in for motherboard for the power.

These are your PCI - four of them, and this is your power for your motherboard, and these are for your satas and whatever. Your 120 to 240 is a 10 to 5 amp, 50 to 60 hertz. Your 3.3 volt rail is 24 amps, your 5vt rail is 24 amps combined.

**Conclusion**

This power supply looks like it's going into Project Ripper, which is already started. You guys just don't see any of the videos yet or when I film this; you might have seen a video who knows. But I think I'm going to put this up first. Anyway, guys, tell me what you think.

Do you think Be Quiet is the best power supply company in the world? Do you think they're superb? Do you think they're at least a leader and an innovator or just leave comments below and let me know what you think about them?

Have you used them? Have they ever let you down? I know for me, they have not. So, guys, until next time, it's Dark Power 12 time, that's kind of weird, but anyway, I've got some building to do so bye-bye game over!

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enokay guys welcome back and thank you for joining in on this lovely day and today we're going to go and look at the dark power 12 and this is the high-end series because it's 80 plus titanium 850 W power supply from be quiet hey guys uh you might hear my 3D printer in the background unfortunately it's going to be going for another 7 hours I 3D printing a thing I guess I just want to say a thing for now and we're going to open up this bad boy now I have not this is the thing I haven't even opened it for me but I already started building and filming certain parts of the thread Ripper build and this is the power supply I'm going to use for that so okay I want to say a big shout out to be quiet for sending this out for project Ripper and uh now we're just going to go over and have a quick overview you and let me show you why these power supplies are amazing and pretty soon coming up I have another one to show you that oh I'm going to need more space off the bat you're greeted with a nice thick book with multil language and talks about your power supply your rails everything there is a 750 W an 850 and 1,000 watt in the titanium's I'm going to guess that is
