To achieve its 80 PLUS Titanium certification which sees up to 95.8% efficiency, the advanced “Active Rectifier + Full Bridge LLC + SR + DC-DC” topology and a wire-free interior design on the DC side, is here, carried over from its predecessor. Coupled with premium components like long-life Japanese 105°C, the four 12V rails of the Dark Power 13 delivers maximum reliability and stability. For those frowning at the four power rails, there’s an Overclocking Key to switch to single rail mode for maximum stability under extreme overclocking.

Last but not least, be quiet! uses a premium Silent Wings 135mm fan with a funnel-shaped air intake to optimize the air circulation and minimize noise. A full set of modular black sleeved cables come with the Dark Power 13 series to complete your build. be quiet! is confident enough in these power supplies that you get a 10-year warranty with it.
