With the new Dark Power 14 series, be quiet! presents the next generation of its high-end power supplies – developed for enthusiasts who expect uncompromising performance, quiet operation and maximum efficiency. The series includes models with 850, 1000 and 1200 watts and features numerous technological innovations that make it one of the most advanced power supplies in its class.
- 80 PLUS Titanium and Cybenetics Titanium certification with up to 95.57% efficiency
- ATX 3.1 compatible with full support for PCIe 5.1 graphics cards
- Switchable single/multi-rail mode for overclocking and maximum control
- Integrated high-performance heatsink with semi-passive Silent Wings fan
Efficiency and cooling at the highest level
The Dark Power 14 series was designed for demanding PC setups – from powerful gaming systems to professional creator workstations. At the heart of the design is a solid aluminum heat sink which, in combination with an integrated Silent Wings fan, ensures excellent heat dissipation. The fan is installed in the heat sink with low vibration and operates completely silently in semi-passive mode until a certain temperature is reached. It only switches on gently at higher loads to cool the components efficiently.
With an energy efficiency of up to 95.57%, the power supply meets both the 80 PLUS Titanium and Cybenetics Titanium¹ certifications – a value that stands out even in the premium segment. The combined use of full-bridge, synchronous rectifier and LLC technology ensures maximum signal stability and minimal power losses. In addition, high-quality Japanese capacitors are used, which are designed for an operating temperature of up to 105 °C and thus ensure an exceptionally long service life.
Future-proof connections and maximum control
The Dark Power 14 complies with the current ATX 3.1 standard and therefore offers full support for modern PCIe 5.1 GPUs. With up to two 12V 2×6 and four PCIe 6+2 pin connections, the power supply is optimally prepared for current and upcoming high-end graphics cards.
A special feature is the overclocking control, which allows users to switch between multi-rail and single-rail operation at the touch of a button. The multi-rail mode offers maximum safety thanks to separate power rails, while the single-rail mode provides more performance scope for extreme overclocking. The power supply is therefore aimed equally at power users, gamers and professional system builders who want to push their hardware to the limit.
The funnel-shaped front structure of the power supply also improves air circulation and ensures stable temperatures even under high loads. The fully modular cable design also simplifies the setup, improves the airflow and makes cable management much tidier.
Quality “Made in Germany” with a ten-year guarantee
Like all be quiet! products, the Dark Power 14 series was developed in Germany and undergoes strict quality controls. The manufacturer provides a ten-year guarantee, which underlines the confidence in the longevity of the components. In addition, a comprehensive safety concept reliably protects the system against overcurrent, overvoltage, short circuits and overheating.
The three models in the series will be available in stores from October 28, 2025. The recommended retail prices are 229.90 euros (850W), 274.90 euros (1000W) and 309.90 euros (1200W).
Conclusion
With the Dark Power 14 series, be quiet! sets new standards for high-end power supplies. The combination of outstanding efficiency, advanced cooling and outstanding quietness makes it the ideal basis for powerful gaming and creator systems. If you are looking for uncompromising stability and future-proofing, the Dark Power 14 series is the perfect foundation for your next PC build.
