be quiet! DARK POWER 13 1000W
1000 W be quiet! Dark Power 13, article BN661; distinct from Dark Power Pro 13 1300 W (BN500) in the catalog. Specifications below are manufacturer-source references; the physical unit’s nameplate and matching manual control.
HIGH-VOLTAGE SAFETY: Disconnect AC before external inspection. Never open, probe, or repair a PSU internally; hazardous charge can persist after unplugging. Replace a damaged, wet, burnt, modified or unidentified unit, or use qualified service.
Model-specific specifications
| Manufacturer / exact model | be quiet! DARK POWER 13 1000W; model / SKU BN661. Match the complete regional suffix, hardware revision and label. |
|---|---|
| Rated capacity | 1000 W continuous total output as the manufacturer-rated class; combined rail limits and operating-temperature derating remain model-specific. |
| Efficiency certification | 80 PLUS Titanium, listed by the manufacturer for this named model. Certification does not identify an unknown PSU revision or establish used-unit condition. |
| AC input | 100–240 V AC, 50–60 Hz; use the exact unit label for current and region. |
| DC rails | +12 V aggregate: up to 83.3 A / 1000 W; four 12 V rails with switchable single-rail mode; +3.3 V/+5 V and auxiliary combined limits per BN661 technical data. |
| Connector set | 24-pin ATX; two EPS/CPU connectors; native 12VHPWR 16-pin; PCIe 6+2-pin; SATA and peripheral 4-pin modular connectors. The manual specifies rail assignment and lead quantities. |
| ATX / PCIe revision | ATX 3.0 / PCIe 5.0 generation; original 12VHPWR interface, not ATX 3.1/12V-2x6 unless verified against an explicitly revised label/manual. |
| Mechanical envelope | 175 × 150 × 86 mm (depth × width × height). Verify mounting holes, fan/grille clearance, cable exit/side-panel clearance and tolerance against the case drawing. |
| Protections | OCP, OVP, UVP, SCP, OPP and OTP. Protection labels do not guarantee a safe outcome under a fault; use only a healthy, unmodified unit within its documented ratings. |
Compatibility & revision caveats
- The switchable multi/single-rail mode and PCIe cable assignment are model-specific. Use only BN661-approved modular cables; confirm the exact standard revision and GPU input path from the actual unit label/manual before connecting.
- Confirm motherboard 24-pin and EPS count/pinout, GPU cable type, total power, rail limits, chassis dimensions, cooling clearance, region and full model suffix before purchase or installation.
- Modular PSU-side pinouts are not standardized. A cable that physically fits is not evidence of electrical compatibility; use only leads explicitly approved for this exact model/revision.
- ATX, ATX12V and PCIe connector revisions describe interfaces, not quality, safety certification or automatic compatibility with every PC component.

When a broad product-family page conflicts with a model-specific manual, label or cable table, the exact unit label and corresponding model documentation take precedence.
