With this PSU Be Quiet! wants to offer a product on the market reliable, with a competitive price, without sacrificing the comforts that a top-of-the-range model can give back to those looking for a respectable configuration.

Design and Unboxing | Pure Power 11 FM review
The power supply comes in a fairly sparse package, we find the essential and nothing more. We find the cables, especially the connector ATX of 20+4 pins of 550 mm, a 600mm EPS12V 8 pin, a 4+4 pin EPS12V da 600 mm, four cables 6+2 pin PCIe da 500 mm, three SATA cables and the1400 mm AC power supply.
The power supply has a 120mm fan, which the German brand ensures to be particularly silent. The fan is accompanied by a characteristic element in the design, a white ring that gives a very interesting touch.
Made of aluminum, it has an absolutely premium build quality, even the cable entries are of excellent quality. The cable entry is perfect, as is the extraction. The new product comes with flat, black cables for all common connections and a power cord ATX 20 + 4 pin with a black sheath. The power supply has some dimensions equal to 150 x 85 x 160 mm e weighs 1.57 kg.
Quality at the right price | Pure Power 11 FM review
We are in front of a model 80 plus gold in terms of efficiency, 93.9% say the company. The PSU has a very respectable circuitry, we can in fact find ben due rail da 12V, and several protection systems including LLC, SR and DC-to-DC. The fact that it is completely modular will allow you to build a very clean configuration.
Be Quiet! ensures full compatibility for overclocking operations, even with powerful GPUs, being able to support 850W peaks for short periods of time.
The components used have been revised to offer a product with an excellent value for money, offering something at a competitive price. However, fundamental components have been missing when it comes to power supplies, such as the capacitors, that they are not the typical Japanese of first choice, we find in fact medium-sized capacitors, of the Taiwanese Teapo.
This power supply is based on an FSP platform, produced byOEM CWT, which is known for producing products with a modest quality / price ratio, low and accessible price and performance suitable for most. The power supply is of type ATX12V v2.52. And it has been tested for continuous delivery at full power up to 40 ° C.
For 3.3 V it is capable of delivering a maximum of 20 A, therefore 120 W, just like the 5V, guaranteed at 20 °. While with a first Rail we have a supply of 32A with the second we have 28A, both powerful would be able to keep 750W constant. With 5 VSB instead we have 3A and 15W.
Inside the air flow is guaranteed. We find a controller Standby PWM OB5282 prodotto da On-Bringht, a component not among the best, but average. THE PCB on the other hand is at least Double-sided. For i mosfet we have a god instead FCPF165N65S3 of 2017. While it Switching Controller is a CU6901VAC from TE Connectivity Ltd. The capacitors are then labeled as 85 °C of maximum rated resistance, capacitors that would not be able to withstand peaks for more than 17 ms.
Usage and functionality | Pure Power 11 FM review
Test Bench used;
- Case: Be Quiet! Silent Base 802
- Motherboard: MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus
- Heatsink: Be Quiet! Silent Loop 2 360mm
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X
- GPU: Gigabyte 1050 TI

The PSU, tested with this build, proved to be an excellent PSU from all points of view. Its modularity allows a clean and fast installation, e the cable structure is very solid, including their quality. The motherboard cable is canvas, while the others are flat. In terms of silence, however, Be Quiet! dichaira alone 24 dBA in peak moments, really inaudible within the whole build.
The power supply has withstood every condition to perfection, both during various benchmarks performed, and during programs StressTest extended for sessions of 20 – 25 minutes, which in light conditions overclock.
Conclusions and price
As we have seen, this product has a medium-high quality motherboard from the point of view of specifications, it does not stand out for first-rate components, but it does not want to be either, as it aims at a market segment that looks at possible buyers who do not. they have no intention of spending a lot.
The big FM model update of the Pure power 11 is of course that it is now 100% modular. Other than that, from what we see, this is a nice PSU, too bad for the suns 5 year guarantee. It is also a shame not to have found a hybrid mode for fan activity.
Our model is also found at prices below 125 euros. If you want to continue to know the latest news from the hardware world, keep following us. Greetings from TechGameWorld.com.
