condensation accumulating in the power supply.

3. BENEFITS AND SPECIAL FEATURES OF YOUR NEW POWER SUPPLY

High efficiency:
Our DARK POWER PRO 10 Series power supplies have a very high efficiency level of up to 93%.
This helps reduce dissipation loss.
High efficiency means that the power supply
can convert the incoming AC current into direct
current with very little loss. This also reduces the
lost heat and thus has a positive effect on cooling
the power supply. Power supplies that feature
a high level of efficiency like the DARK POWER
PRO 10 Series can therefore be operated with
an extremely slow running and thus very quiet
radiator fan. Extremely low noise emission is the
result of ongoing technical advances.
Ecological:
Out DARK POWER PRO 10 Series power supplies comply with the current 2002/95/EG (RoHs and
WEEE) directives issued by the European Union.
An environmentally conscious production process and use of materials that avoid environmentally
harmful substances environment are guaranteed for be quiet! products. In this way, we as the
manufacturer and you as the customer can both actively help in making an important contribution to
protecting our environment.
Voltage stability:
DARK POWER PRO 10 Series power supplies offer best-of-class voltage stability for your components.
This is also guaranteed by the use of high quality components. Output voltages are maintained at levels
very close to specifications; this is particularly important for high performance requirements.
Thermally controlled fan
be quiet! power supplies from the Dark
Power P8 series offer high-precision
thermal fan control. This monitoring
mechanism controls the fans using the
"FAN" connection on the power supply.
Fan speed is adapted to reflect the actual
heat levels inside the PC case and power
supply. When temperatures rise, the fans
automatically begin to turn faster in order
to ensure quick and effective cooling
within the case. The fact that cool air is
