be quiet! Dark Power 14 1000W (BP020)

The be quiet! Dark Power 14 1000W (BP020) is a highly efficient 1000W ATX power supply with a peak output of 1100W, compatible with ATX 3.1 and EPS 12V v2.92 standards and designed for modern PCIe 5.1 graphics cards. The unit carries both 80 PLUS Titanium and Cybenetics Titanium certifications, delivering energy efficiency up to 95.5% at 50% load (230V). The topology features a full bridge + LLC + synchronous rectifier (SR) + DC/DC design with digital control, active PFC (power factor >0.98 at 100% load), and ultra-low standby consumption (<0.15W). The power supply offers four +12V rails (33A, 33A, 40A, 40A) with combined +12V output up to 996W, while the 12V-2x6 connector delivers up to 600W. The +3.3V rail provides 25A and the +5V rail provides 24A (combined up to 120W). An integrated Overclocking Key button allows switching between multi-rail and single-rail modes. The active and semi-passive cooling switch enables a 2–5 minute post-purge cycle after temperature drops. Cooling is handled by a 135mm Silent Wings fan on a fluid dynamic bearing with a 6-pole motor, reaching a maximum of 2100 RPM. According to Cybenetics LAMBDA A+ measurements, noise levels are approximately 8 dB(A) at 10–50% load and 18.2 dB(A) at full load. All cables are fully modular with braiding, with a maximum length of 105cm and 60cm to the motherboard. Connector configuration includes 1×ATX 20+4, 1×CPU 4+4, 1×CPU 8-pin, 1×12V-2x6, 4×PCIe 6+2, 13×SATA, and 2×PATA. The chassis measures 175×150×86mm and weighs 2.2kg, with an operating temperature up to 40°C and a rated lifespan exceeding 100,000 hours (at 25°C).
