be quiet! Pure Power 11 FM (650W) Power Supply Review

Despite 2021 certainly getting off to a bit of a rough start in terms of product availability, a statement that perhaps may ironically also represent one the biggest understatements of the year, be quiet! has been one of the few manufacturers to have really kicked things off strongly with the launch of many new products. – With the new ‘Pure Power 11 FM’ range announced earlier this month, today marks the day in which be quiet! has officially released their brand new PSU series to the market. And, in case you were curious as to whether they were any good, well, with a 650W sample in our hands, we had to check this out!

Connections

Coming as a fully-modular cable design means that you only have to fit the cables your PC components require.
