Name:	Dark Power Pro 13 1300 Watt
Maker :	be quiet!

The be quiet! Dark Power Pro 13 in this 1300 watt version is simply a monster, it measures 150 x 200 x 86 mm and its weight is 2499 gr. It's big, it's heavy, just like in terms of design and finishes. The brand offers us a chassis entirely in brushed aluminum which is tooouuuttteeee bbbeeeauuuuttt����, with marks that are discreet. On top of the block, there is a large mesh grid for high breathability. Below this grille we have a 135 mm Silent Wings fan which is mounted on a frameless support and equipped with worked edges to channel the flow as well as possible while reducing noise pollution as much as possible. Be quiet! SO !!! The left side presents the specs of the block, while the front part integrates the connectors for the modular cables of the block, but also for the OC Key which will make it possible to pass from multi to mono rail on the 12 volt. Note that we have two 12VHPWR connectors... At the back, we have a very elaborate grid, still with aluminum, the AC/IN and a switch. Speaking of cables, be quiet! offers us two finishes with this DDP13. We have strand by strand sheathed cables for almost all of the cables, only the two 12 VHPWR are nylon sheathed. We want to say that it's a shame that the two 12VHPWR is not entitled to the same treatment. On the side of the Bundle, you will have the user manual, classic screws, hand screws, collars, scratches, the OC Key and your 220v cable.
