DARK POWER PRO 12 1200W - CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGIES AND PERFORMANCE

The be quiet! Dark Power Pro 12 1200W offers 80 PLUS® Titanium efficiency and world class performance due to fully digital control and frameless fan concept.

- 80 PLUS Titanium efficiency (up to 94.7%)
- Fully digital control (PFC, LLC, SR/12V) and full bridge topology
- Patented frameless Silent Wings fan for virtually inaudible operation at ordinary load
- Full mesh PSU front with redesigned funnel-shaped air inlet
- Overclocking key switches between six 12V rails and one massive 12V rail
- Japanese 105°C capacitors ensure highest stability and reliability
- Aluminum case and modular individually sleeved cables for magnificent appearance

80 PLUS® TITANIUM - The highest efficiency certificate available

Dark Power Pro 12 1200W is certified with 80 PLUS Titanium and an energy efficiency rating of up to 94.7%. This provides lots of benefits for your high-end system, including less power consumption and an overall cooler and quieter operation. The standby drain is below 0.1 watts..

 

WORLD CLASS POWER REGULATION - Fully digital control

The fully digital control (PFC, LLC, SR/12V) results in higher efficiency, better regulation and lower ripple noise. This guarantees an incomparably stable operation. Due to the digital concept the Dark Power Pro 12 can reach a great efficiency over the complete power range, even at low load..

 

FRAMELESS SILENT WINGS FAN - Patented fan technology for virtually inaudible operation

The be quiet! Silent Wings fan mounted on a tripod enables maximum airflow and a virtually inaudible operation at ordinary loads. This is thanks to its unique, airflow-optimized fan blade design along with an advanced fluid-dynamic bearing and 6-pole fan motor for less vibration, super-long life and minimal power consumption..

 

INNOVATIVE COOLING CONCEPT - For a longer lifespan

The split fan inlet of the Dark Power Pro 12 1200W is a specially-shaped funnel that increases airflow while reducing unwanted turbulence. The wire-free design inside allows the cool air to reach all components flawlessly which ultimately leads to a longer lifespan..

 

READY FOR OVERCLOCKING - Pushing the performance of your PSU to the max

Dark Power Pro 12 1200W is particularly suitable for overclocking, thanks to its strong and stable 12V rails. The overclocking key empowers you with full control for overclocking by manually switching between the default six 12V-rail mode and the alternative massive single-rail operation..

 

MAXIMUM CONVENIENCE - Modular cables

The maximum utility afforded by modular individually sleeved cables of up to 120cm simplifies component installation and reduces annoying clutter. This results in increased airflow and improved cooling in even the largest PC cases..

 

STATE-OF-THE-ART DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY - Rock-steady signal stability and efficiency

Experience the most technologically advanced power supply be quiet! has ever built! Using an advanced digital full bridge, LLC and Synchronous Rectifier (SR) technology it provides unmatched signal stability and unbeatable power efficiency. It is also equipped with DC-to-DC conversion for tight voltage regulation, even under heavy cross-loading conditions. This ensures reliable operation for the next generation of processors and graphics cards..

 

JAPANESE 105° CAPACITORS - A testament to high quality

Only the best components are used in Dark Power Pro 12 1200W. That is why we have built exclusively high-quality Japanese capacitors into the PSU chassis. They are rated to 105°C which ensures stability, reliability and a long operating life...

 

MAGNIFICENT APPEARANCE - Larger cooling area and new visual aspects

The all-new PSU front and the redesigned funnel-shaped air inlet uphold the high air circulation abilities. In combination with the individually sleeved cables, the high-quality aluminum case on the outside and the high-end components on the inside make the Dark Power Pro 12 shine from every possible angle..

 

WINNER OF EUROPEAN HARDWARE AWARDS 2021 - A testament of quality and performance

Dark Power Pro 12 is the winner of the European Hardware Awards 2021 in the PSU category. With that the high-end PSU proves its claim to be at the top of all power supplies, and is the perfect choice for all who do not intend to compromise on top performance, technology and virtually inaudible operation.

Be careful which case you buy

The Dark Power Pro 1200 has an issue with the cable both to the wall and the case (ie. both ends). Its proprietary power cable is not the standard IEC cable used in NZ. It may not fit the case power input - it didn't for my Dark Base Pro 900. Additonally, the cable has a much larger ground/earth pin than is standard in New Zealand so it will not plug into the wall without an adapter to allow it to fit.
