A Phoenix arrises as we the review power supply from beastly grounds, the be quiet! Dark Power Pro 12. Initially releases in as 1200W and 1500W model we'll check out the latter one. The series has been upgraded being all-digital, it has a few new tweaks, features and be quiet! was able to push the PSU towards 80 Plus Titanium certification. And yet, it remains silent I tell you.

well, since they are "tryhard" they could have made a prettier main power switch, this one has been around for 30 years. I mean, since they are already changing things that work fine for no other reason except to look different...

Two of these at full power would send my main power switch to oblivion in a couple of seconds.
Crazy to think there's demand for these kind of crazy capacity PSU.

that's ~6.5A per PSU (@220V) 15A fuse is plenty for 3000W. In 110V countries it's more (~13.6 Amps so, 30A Fuse for 3000W )

I have 3 split system ACs in the house, each one is >1500W, zero issues...

Nice to see some design on a power supply, appart from some high grade corsair psu's there is not that much of an eye candy on the psu world.

Great looking PSU, shame only one 12V 8 pin CPU connector though.

Would be awesome on a dual CPU setup otherwise.
