be quiet! pure power 12M 850w
3. Conclusion
The be quiet! Pure Power 12M series comes with ATX3.0 compliance in order to deliver great efficiency and power to users who have new RTX4000 series graphics cards and in general want a future-proof power supply. The product comes with tons of certifications and using it on any modern system (in our case AMD Ryzen 5600X with Asus 570X E-Gaming motherboard) gave stable operation and very low noise levels. Stressing the system either with Blender test or 3D Mark Vantage gave back again the same great performance and for sure getting the 1000watt variant would be best for those who want to get an RTX4070/4080 series.
The be quiet! Pure Power 12M 850Watt power supply has the new 12VHPWR connector, which is able to deliver significantly more power compared with ATX2.0 power supplies. The included cable from be quiet! has great quality and actually supports 600 watts (even with RTX4090 we would suggest buying at least the 1000-watt variant). In case you have AMD 7000 graphics card, there are also four ‘traditional’ PCIe 6+2 connectors so don't worry. This is a truly versatile and perfect, future-proof choice for upcoming next-gen devices and current high-end systems alike.
Comparing the product with other 850watt solutions at the market there is a ton of competition at the price point of $134.90 / €139.90 / £138.99 (for the 850W model) but we feel that the Pure Power 12M series really deserve your attention, be quiet! is very confident about their new series that also offer 10 years of warranty, not many other manufacturers have this :-)
