be quiet! Dark Power 14 1200W ATX 3.1 PSU - 80+ Titanium
The be quiet! Dark Power 14 1200W ATX 3.1 PSU is built for high-end PC builders and overclockers who demand efficiency, silence, and support for the latest graphics cards. It combines 80 PLUS Titanium certification with switchable rail modes and next-gen PCIe 5.1 support, solving the power and thermal challenges of demanding systems.
Why this product
95.42% efficiency with Titanium rating
80 PLUS Titanium and Cybenetics Titanium certification means more power goes to your PC and less is wasted as heat. It reaches up to 95.42% efficiency across the load range.
Native PCIe 5.1 GPU support
Two native 12V-2x6 connectors are built in for next-generation graphics cards, plus four 6+2-pin connectors for current-generation GPUs.
Single or multi-rail switching
Push-button toggle between four +12V rails and single-rail mode gives overclockers precise control without opening the case.
21.1 dB(A) with semi-passive mode
A 135mm Silent Wings fan with fluid dynamic bearing runs nearly inaudible at 21.1 dB(A). Active and semi-passive modes are selectable on the fly.
Fully modular cables up to 120 cm
Sleeved, modular cables in lengths up to 120 cm simplify routing and reduce case clutter in any form factor.

Dark Power 14 1200W features a high-performance heat sink design with an integrated fan and can be operated in either active or semi-passive mode.
Dark Power 14 1200W is certified with 80 PLUS® Titanium and Cybenetics Titanium for a stunning energy efficiency rating of up to 95.42%.
Dark Power 14 1200W is an ATX 3.1 PSU and comes with both native integration of the two 12V-2x6 connectors for next-generation PCIe 5.1 graphics cards and 4 PCIe 6+2-pin connectors for support of current-gen GPUs.
Dark Power 14 1200W is particularly suitable for overclocking. With the simple push of a button, it is possible to manually switch between multi-rail and single-rail mode. This gives full overclocking control between the default four 12V-rail mode and the alternative massive single-rail operation.
Dark Power 14 1200W is state-of-the-art technology. With an Active Rectifier and full bridge LLC Technology it offers some of the most advanced technologies available, resulting in higher efficiency, better regulation and lower ripple noise for an incomparably stable operation.
Each component in Dark Power 14 1200W is carefully selected. That is why we have exclusively used high-quality Japanese capacitors for this PSU. They are rated to 105°C, ensure stability, reliability, and a long operating life.
Modular, sleeved cables measuring up to 120cm in length simplify component installation and reduce annoying clutter.
