be quiet! Dark Power Pro 10 850W CM Review

A Closer Look – Exterior

The outside of the unit sports a classy look due to a combination of the different shades of black (sadly not grey) that are provided by the fan, the rubber edging, the casing and the metal grille.

The sides come with a black design too, we haven’t taken the protective plastic off so it may look a bit weird but as you can see we’ve already put this PSU through a bit of rough and tumble – hence why the plastic is still on!

The other side features the same metal plaque-style information in reverse.

The cable end features all your modular connectors, fan connectors and the OCK switch input. There is a single 24 pin cable hard wired.

The rear has removable anti-vibration edging which reduces noise but also  prevents scratching. There’s also a power switch, kettle lead input and small be quiet! logo.

The bottom has the usual stick with power distribution details, there’s also a warning that encourages you to not disassemble the power supply yourself. If it has a valid warranty you should always contact be quiet! in the case of any product faults.

The hardwired cable is a partially sleeved 24 pin. All the included cables can be seen below but instead of explaining each one individually we refer you to the cable length and structure diagram below to see all the specific details.

As the diagram above shows there are also four fan cables, an OCK key and OCK jumper included. The OCK allows you to switch between single and multiple 12 volt rail operation.
