be quiet! System Power 11 550W ATX 3.1 PCIe 5.1 PSU
The be quiet! System Power 11 550W ATX 3.1 PSU is built for value-conscious PC builders who want reliable power delivery and quiet operation without compromise. It supports the latest PCIe 5.1 GPUs and meets modern efficiency standards, making it suitable for mid-range gaming and productivity builds.
Why this product
ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 ready
Supports one PCIe 5.1 12V-2x6 connector for next-gen high-end GPUs, plus three additional 6+2 pin connectors for flexibility.
Temperature-controlled 120mm fan
The fan adjusts speed based on load, keeping noise down during light use and ramping up only when needed.
Strong 12V rail for stability
Tight voltage regulation using DC-to-DC technology ensures rock-solid power delivery to demanding components.
80 PLUS Bronze efficiency
Achieves up to 90% efficiency at 230V, 20% load, reducing wasted energy and heat generation.
5-year manufacturer's warranty
Backed by a lengthy warranty and designed, manufactured and quality-controlled in Germany.

- Quiet system builds where noise control matters
- Builders prioritising reliability and warranty coverage
- Future-proofing for PCIe 5.1 GPUs without paying for excessive capacity
Trade-offs
- High-end enthusiast builds — 550W is the maximum continuous output; systems with dual high-power GPUs or high-core-count CPUs will need more headroom.
- Extremely power-hungry workstations — peak power specification is not published; this unit targets stable, predictable loads rather than systems with spiking demands.
- Fanless or silent-first builds — the 120mm fan is temperature-controlled but not eliminated; systems requiring no audible cooling should consider passive designs.
System Power 11 is the ATX 3.1 PSU for value-oriented PC builders that do not want to pass on reliability and quietness.
