be quiet! T380697 System Power 9 600W, 80 PLUS Bronze, power supply, Black

The recommended PSU rating for my build (according to PC Parts) was 350 watts, which seemed very low to me. I thought I might build in a little extra headroom for future upgrades, so I looked for a 500 watt model, edging towards Corsair. But thanks to the (at the time of writing) pandemic lockdown, it seemed like everyone else had the same idea! This was the only reasonably priced PSU of any sort that I could get, so it wasn't exactly my first choice.Having said that I'm extremely happy with my purchase. It is VERY quiet. I cannot hear it above the noise of my case and CPU fans, and I have had no problems one week into my build.Being a non-modular design, you may be concerned about cable management. I'm not, and I leave all my cables free inside the case, but I don't think you'd have any problems if that's your thing. The cables and connectors all worked as expected and seemed to be quite high quality.So, not what I was initially looking for, but turned out to be a great purchase.

My PC's PSU failed (a 7yr old Corsair RM850, silent [no fan] for office use, but had a 10yr warranty). I got an EVGA 750BQ (cheap, but noisy fan even under no load - returned for refund) and bought this item. It's as quiet as the Corsair, and capable to power an i7 6-core + GTX1070Ti when stress testing both simultaneously. PSU fans do then spin up but are masked by the CPU and GPU fans. Summary - buy it - quiet, capable, and cheap.

I was looking for something cheaper, around £50 and 500W which I expected would be non-modular. When I could not find anything good at that price due to the current Computer Parts shortages, I just settled for this one back in June (June 30). Well, I am happy I bought this semi-modular power supply. Most reviews said modular and semi-modular are small cosmetic enhancements. If you like me is building a PC inside a compact tower, like the beautiful Fractal Design Meshify C, you will appreciate having fewer cables coming from your power supply.Meshify C like other compact PC Cases has a short Power Supply Shroud. So I only attached the cable for the Graphics Card, CPU, and one SATA Power cable to power two Hard Drives. I can imagine if it was a non-modular power supply with all the messy cables to take care of.Performance-wise, this Power supply is much more than my PC needs in terms of power needs so I have a lot of headroom for upgrades. Fantastic quiet performance.

Works nice and quietlyI found that there was no UK plug in the box, and delivery was quite slow. However, adapters are cheap so no biggie.Personally, also, the daisy chain SATA cables are a bit of a pain to work with but I'm happy enough with the rest of the build quality - Cables are long and flexible, and well-constructed.High quality, and great, quiet operation. Well done beQuiet!

Working well, as expected

(Edit lmao never mind that wasn’t the psu fan but it was my graphic card updated review after around a year of usage the psu didn't blow and it works like new, would recommend) The psu does a good job and its quiet while doing it.. But i give it 4 stars because from time to time (more often when gaming) the psu fan goes full speed for a second and goes to its normal speed, at first i didnt really think about it but after a while it got really annoying and i got worried that it might be a problem with the psu it self. Im not sure if i just got a damaged unit but if anyone knows what it is or how to fix it i would be thankful.

Well, it all works fine thus far but I will hold off on the full review until I have used my new system for a bit as all the components for the new build will be tied together. Delivery was spot on as it usually is with Amazon. There are rare occasions but as I have said they are rare.Speaking of rare Amazon tracking showed the package on its way then amazon sent a message saying that it would be delayed and it didn't arrive then I would get a refund but then it arrived the next day(strange).It fitted into my case well and thus far no issues (fingers crossed) and it is as quiet as it says on the box.I will update as time goes by and let you all know how it performs.The cost of PC parts is nothing less than extortion but the resellers have us where they want us in these times of lockdown I guess. c'est la vie.Do you know what else would be strange?A bird with three heads and seven wings that could sing soprano.***********UPDATE 12/02/2022*************This is the third one I have purchased (this one from Fuzion) and I must say that Fuzion is amazing with delivery well ahead of schedule and well packaged. You could see that they care about customer service and this shows in the way they despatched the product (well-done guys and girls). The two that I have been working well in other builds but if anything happens then I will update again.

Its starts up like most others, fan will be on and you will be able to hear it, tho not noisy by any streach. However, after start up and maybe 5 to 10 seconds, the fan speed drops to idle and you cannot hear it at all, wow.This is only running a NAS box so the power demands are low, no graphics cards involved. I dont know what it would do if I put it under considerable power load, no doubt it would spin up to keep cool if it needed to. But for running a NAS with the latest intel i3 proc and 4 HHDs, the only thing you hear are the hard drives and proc fan, not the PSU.
