Be quiet Straight Power 10 500W 80 Plus Gold Semi-Modular Power Supply overview
World Class Quiet and Efficiency
be quiet! Straight Power 10 500W CM provides a new level of silent performance for systems that demand whisper-quiet operation without facing the slightest compromise in power quality. Our German team has updated and designed even more premium features into this generation of the Straight Power series, which make the Straight Power 10 500W CM more silent than ever and a clear ‘Best Choice’ for new systems and as a replacement in existing systems.
- Virtually inaudible operation achieved through a broad array of meticulous optimizations, including use of a be quiet! SilentWings® 3 135mm fan
- SilentWings® 3 fan features an advanced fan frame, an airflow-optimized fan blade, fluid-dynamic bearing with copper core and a high-quality 6-pole motor for less vibration
- The funnel-shaped fan opening of the PSU case is significant big and allows high airflow intake
- 500 Watts of continuous power with stable four 12V-rail design
- 80PLUS® Gold certification and up to 93% power conversion efficiency
- Cable management with extra long cable reach simplifies component installation and reduces annoying clutter, increasing airflow and improving cooling in even the largest PC cases
- Product conception, design and quality control in Germany
Virtually Inaudible Operation
- Installed SilentWings® 3 135mm fan includes a wide array of electronic and mechanical optimizations for best-of-class airflow with very low noise production, including:
- unique airflow-optimized fan blade design reduces noise-generating fan turbulence
- advanced fluid-dynamic bearing with copper core provides for greatly reduced operating noise and super-long life
- 6-pole fan motor with high-quality IC controller reduces electrical noise, power consumption, and vibration. Lower starting voltage of the fan reduces significantly the starting fan speed and noise level at low load conditions
- Funnel-shaped fan opening of the PSU case is significant big and allows high airflow intake
- SilentWings® 3 fan is decoupled from the PSU body with special mount, further reducing transmission of vibration and noise
- Optimized PSU airflow design generates superior cooling at lower fan speeds and reduces turbulence around components, thus allowing even quieter operation
- Variable fan speed is optimally governed to strike the best balance between proper cooling and deep quietness
Energy Efficiency
- 80PLUS® Gold certification independently verifies the extremely high operating efficiency (up to 93%) of this design
- High efficiency means money savings, because your PC draws less power from the mains to do its work. This means less waste heat, less cooling required, and overall quieter operation
- Standby drain of less than 0.25 Watts (
- Meets Energy Star 6.0 guidelines
- Fulfills ErP 2014 guidelines
- Zero Load design supports Intel’s Deep Power Down C6 and C7 modes
Engineering
- Improved integrated circuit power conversion design features Active Clamp and Synchronous Rectifier (SR) technology plus DC-to-DC voltage stepdown for amazing signal stability, voltage regulation (main output rails are
- Premium quality capacitors rated to 105°C for maximum performance, reliability and operating life
- Full suite of top safety protections defends against over-currents, over- and under-voltages, short circuits, overheating and overloads, thus safeguarding your valuable components
- Four independent 12V-rails improve power signal stability
Maximum Compatibility and Convenience
