be quiet! Dark Power Pro 11 1200W Power Supply Review

Over Power Protection and Max Wattage

Power supplies often quote as having various protection mechanisms such and the most important of these is Over Power Protection. In our testing we crank up the power draw until the power supply either shuts down (meaning the OPP mechanism is present and working) or blows up (meaning it is either not present or not working). We then note the maximum power consumption before the power supply shut down (or blew up).

This may be rated at 1200W, but we managed to exceed that by an impressive 268.2, this is good news for overclockers and enthusiasts who may encounter power spikes and it’s a sure sign that be quiet! have a rock solid product on their hands.
