CONCLUSION

   Even though be quiet! has quite a few PSU models in their product lines aimed towards consumers on a budget the System Power 10 is a welcome addition, one which i expect quite a few people out there to choose for their systems. Yes, it may not be semi or fully modular but flat power cables don’t take up too much space and so i doubt this will be an issue in most cases. In terms of performance the System Power 10 does very good in terms of rail stability and as for its efficiency certification i won’t lie, the 80 Plus Bronze of the 450/550/650/750W models does seem a bit low to me (again, should be plenty for most people on a budget) but the 80 Plus Gold of the 850W model is more than just fine by me. As for noise levels surpassing 47dBA at load (from 5-10cm away) may not be whisper quiet operation (and if you push the PSU to its maximum output of 850W it could climb a bit higher) but it’s certainly not noisy either.

    Seeing as the System Power 10 line of power supply units was announced just today (System Power 10 U for the USA market) i was unable to find them on any online store/distributor. Still, with an MSRP (manufacturer suggested retail price) of 107.9Euros the System Power 10 850W model is priced just a tad higher than what i was expecting (isn’t everything nowadays however?). Price aside however the System Power 10 850W model by be quiet! delivers on everything consumers on a budget will be looking for and for that i strongly recommend checking it out.
