Starting on May 23rd, be quiet! will start shipping its Dark Power Pro 13 power supply. This is a fully digital ATX 3.0 unit that promises unrivaled performance and stability. The firm offers 1300W and 1600W editions for 409.90EUR and 449.90EUR.

be quiet!, the German manufacturer for premium PC components, introduces the Dark Power Pro 13 series. This successor to the award-winning Dark Power Pro 12 series presents a future-proof way to update your system by offering full ATX 3.0 compatibility for next-generation PCIe 5.0 graphics cards, and comes in two wattage classes: 1300 and 1600 watt. Dark Power Pro 13 features an extraordinary 80 PLUS Titanium efficiency, a frameless fan with full mesh fan grill, and fully digital regulation of PFC, LLC, and SR with full bridge topology. An overclocking key lets users combine the six 12V rails into one with high power output, ideal for overclocked processors or graphics cards. All these features are rounded off with a premium design, including fully modular, single sleeved cables and a stunning aluminum case, making this PSU the perfect choice for current and future high-end systems.

Future-proof thanks to full ATX 3.0 support
Dark Power Pro 13 includes full support for the ATX 3.0 standard, which adapts the power specifications defined by PCI Express 5.0. Compared to ATX 2.X, which supports high load peaks but does not define a maximum above the nominal power of the power supply, ATX 3.0 defines clear target values – specifically, the PCIe connection for the graphics card must allow load changes of up to three times the power consumption. Dark Power Pro 13 is designed to handle these extreme transient loads with ease. ATX 3.0 power supplies with 450 watts or more also require a new 12VHPWR connector, which is able to deliver significantly more power. Both< Dark Power Pro 13 models support up to 600 watts of power on the two available 12VHPWR connectors, while also offering six ‘traditional’ PCIe 6+2 connectors for full graphics card compatibility.

Titanium efficiency and digital regulation
Even though the wattages have been raised from its predecessor – from 1200 to 1300 watt and from 1500 to 1600 watt – Dark Power Pro 13 effortlessly provides an efficiency of up to 94.5 percent with 80 PLUS Titanium certification, with a standby drain of less than 0.1 watts. be quiet! achieves this high efficiency factor by implementing a fully digital control of the powerful “Full Bridge + LLC” topology, resulting in lower ripple noise and excellent power regulation, especially when compared to analog or semi-digital solutions that only implement a digital PFC. Dark Power Pro 13 exclusively relies on premium components to minimize coil whine and other unwanted noise that are often induced by the extreme load changes of modern graphics cards, while long-lasting Japanese 105°C capacitors guarantee maximum reliability.

Silent Wings fan for optimal component cooling
To make sure the high-end components in Dark Power Pro 13 are optimally cooled even under extreme load, be quiet! relies on its frameless Silent Wings fan, placed directly under a full mesh grill and surrounded by a funnel-shaped air intake for optimal air circulation and best-in-class cooling. The fan has a low startup rotational speed and operates virtually inaudible under low-to-medium load scenarios, negating the need to constantly stop and start the fan as such semi-passive solutions often place unnecessary stress on the fan components.

Extensive feature set
Dark Power Pro 13 supports an overclocking key, which allows users to switch the power supply from multi-rail mode to single-rail mode with the flick of a switch. This increases the PSU’s stability under extreme overclocking conditions. To match the high-quality components inside the power supply unit, Dark Power Pro 13 features an aluminum housing that elevates the appearance of this power supply series to the highest level. In addition, Dark Power Pro 13 offers a set of modular, single-sleeved black cables and matching cable combs to add to its premium appearance. Thanks to its high component quality and innovative cooling design, be quiet! is able to offer a 10-year manufacturer's warranty.

Dark Power Pro 13 will be available in retail from May 23 at a suggested retail price of $459.90 / £449.99 / €449.90 (1600W) or $419.90 / £409.99 / €409.90 (1300W).

Lian Li showcases the UNI FAN P28, a new fan series that puts performance first. Depending on the fan mode, this model delivers an airflow of up to 92CFM, with a static pressure of 4.79mmH2O, and a noise level of 32.1dBA. Pricing is $25.99 for a single fan and $74.99 for a pack of three (with controller).

LIAN LI Industrial Co. Ltd., a leading manufacturer of chassis and PC accessories, announces its first performance-focused UNI FAN with the P28, a 120mm PWM fan available in black, and in white. With a 28mm thick frame, Liquid Crystal Polymer blades, Fluid Dynamic Bearing, and 3-speed modes: quiet operation, balanced noise/performance, and maximum performance, the P28 is geared towards performance. As with all UNI FANs, the P28 can be interconnected to create clusters of fans capable of being powered via a single cable, and up to 2 clusters can be bridged with an extension cable. For users wanting added flare without sacrificing performance, an optional Side RGB Strip accessory is added to the side of the fan.

The P28 features a 9-blade design made of liquid crystal polymer (LCP), a stronger material capable of supporting higher speeds without deformation for tighter tolerances with the fan frame (0.6mm). Combined with an overall frame thickness of 28mm, the increase in the surface area of the blades results in added performance. In addition, the P28 is equipped with Fluid Dynamic bearings (FDB) for the fan motor to operate quieter and smoother. The use of a thicker fan frame, sturdy LCP blade material, and the FDB result in great performances, and quieter operation.

The P28 comes with a controller which can be magnetically mounted anywhere in the case and offer 3-speed profiles. Users have the option to opt for quieter operation in L mode, a perfect balance of noise and performance in M mode, or maximum performance in H mode.

The P28 can be interlocked and daisy-chained together to create clusters of fans that only require a single cable to be powered on. The innovative approach introduced with the original UNI FAN SL120 greatly reduces the number of cables required to power a large number of fans, making cable management a breeze. In addition, the P28 has removable interlocking keys to improve compatibility with radiator fittings, and support for an extension cable to bridge two clusters of fans (up to 6 fans max) to a single controller, further reducing cable clutter.

Optional Side RGB Kit?
While the P28 is focused on performance, users also have the option to replace the side aluminum strip with a Side ARGB Strip accessory. The strip can be added to a single side of the fan, or both, and is powered via a standard 5V ARGB cable and can be daisy-chained seamlessly like the fans. By adding the side ARGB strips to the P28, available in black and white, users can achieve the same sophisticated RGB look as the UNI FAN SLV2, without sacrificing performance.

Noctua reveals the NA-FH1, a new fan hub with eight channels. This device allows you to control up to eight PWM fans via a single PWM motherboard fan header or a standalone fan controller like the Noctua NA-FC1. Depending on the input power source, the NA-FH1 can provide up to 54W to your fans. The suggested retail pricing of the Noctua NA-FH1 is $34.90 (34.90EUR).

Noctua today presented its new NA-FH1 fan hub. The NA-FH1 is a high-quality, smartly-protected 8 channel PWM fan hub that allows up to eight PWM fans to be run and controlled simultaneously via a single PWM motherboard fan header or stand-alone controllers such as the optional NA-FC1. Supporting both 12V and 5V fans with 4-pin PWM and 3-pin connectors, the NA-FH1 is highly flexible and suitable both for PC environments and other 12V- or 5V-based applications.

“While there is no shortage of fan hubs on the market, we found most of them lacking both from a functional and from a safety perspective,” explains Roland Mossig (Noctua CEO). “PWM control and RPM readout can be unreliable, and most units lack overcurrent or short-circuit protection, which can be dangerous when powering through S-ATA. This is where the NA-FH1 steps in: a safe, dependable quality device for powering and controlling up to eight fans!“

Many fan hubs that are available on the market use very basic PCB designs without any protection or circuitry for signal quality improvement. While this helps to reduce cost, there are significant drawbacks with regards to function and safety. In particular, PWM based speed control may not work reliably if multiple fans are connected and RPM speed signals may be transmitted in poor quality, especially at low fan speeds, which can cause readout errors. By contrast, the NA-FH1’s signal quality improvement circuitries guarantee reliable readout and speed control, even if incoming signals may be of less-than-ideal quality.

In terms of safety, unprotected fan hubs bear risks in cases of overcurrent or short-circuits on the output ports. Especially when powering the devices through S-ATA, this can result in cables and connectors melting and may even cause sparks or flames. To rule out that anything like this can happen, the NA-FH1 features protection circuitries with resettable polyfuses that shut down in case of overcurrent or short-circuits, protecting the connected fans and surrounding components.

The NA-FH1 can be powered either via its S-ATA input (for 12V fans, up to 54W) or 4-pin PWM input (for 5V and 12V fans, up to 24W). The two ports can also be used concurrently with the device automatically taking power via S-ATA and exchanging RPM and PWM signals via the 4-pin interface. Status LEDs allow for easy monitoring and thanks to its magnetic fixture, installing the NA-FH1 inside a PC case or on any other steel surface is a breeze. Topped off with CE, UKCA and UL certifications, full compliance with all applicable safety standards as well as Noctua’s 6-year manufacturer’s warranty, the NA-FH1 is a safe, dependable premium choice for powering and controlling up to eight fans.

It's been a while! The past couple of months have been super busy but DVHARDWARE finally has a new review online. This time I checked out the functionality of the HomeWizard Wi-Fi P1 Meter and Wi-Fi Energy Socket. Both are used to monitor residential energy consumption. This review is a little different as it's the first Dutch-language review on DVHARDWARE. This is because the HomeWizard products primarily cater to the Belgian and Dutch markets -- as such, it didn't make a lot of sense to write this review in English.

Here is another collab between ASUS and Noctua. The firm's partnered up a third time to create the ASUS GeForce RTX 4080 Noctua Edition graphics card. The promise here is this RTX 4080 is the quietest air-cooled video card in its class.

The Noctua-cooled card has two NF-A12x25 PWM 120mm and an optimized heatsink with a vapor chamber and a total of eight heatpipes. The Noctua edition is said to produce just 33.7dBA at maximum fan speed, a massive difference versus the 48.6dBA of the stock model, while delivering comparable cooling performance.

Following the resounding success of the ASUS GeForce RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 Noctua Edition, the Noctua Edition of ASUS’ GeForce RTX 4080 is the third graphics card to feature Noctua fans and a heatsink that has been co-engineered by Noctua. By switching from the stock three slim 110mm fans to two of Noctua’s award-winning NF-A12x25 PWM 120mm units and to a more elaborate, tailored heatsink with vapour chamber and five instead of two 8mm diameter heatpipes, thermals and acoustics of ASUS’ original TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4080 could be improved significantly for the Noctua Edition, making it the quietest card in its class.
