Frequently Asked Questions

Does the be quiet! Dark Power Pro 13 1600W support RTX 40 and 50 series GPUs with 12VHPWR?

Yes. It has a native 12VHPWR connector for PCIe 5.0 graphics cards and also includes PCIe 6+2-pin connectors for current-gen GPUs, so you don't need an adapter for either type.

How efficient is the Dark Power Pro 13 1600W?

It is 80 PLUS Titanium certified, with efficiency rated at up to 94.5%. Higher efficiency means less heat from the PSU and lower power draw at the wall.

What does the Overclocking Key do?

It switches the 12V output between six independent 12V rails and one single high-capacity 12V rail. Single-rail mode lets a graphics card briefly pull extra power without being limited to one rail's share.

What warranty comes with the be quiet! Dark Power Pro 13 1600W?

The product listing says it has a 10-year warranty. Check be quiet!'s official warranty terms for registration requirements and regional coverage details.

Is this PSU ATX 3.0 or ATX 3.1?

The listing is inconsistent: the title says ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1, but the spec bullets describe an ATX 3.0 unit with PCIe 5.0 support. Check be quiet!'s product page for the current certification before you buy.
