Reviewers Didn't Like

  • Some additional sleeving would be nice
  • Price is on the high side, Performance of the 3.3V rail, Efficiency of the 5VSB rail, No allblack or flat cables with my sample (however, this won't be an issue anymore since be quiet!'s new Dark Power Pro units will come with such cables)
  • Relatively expensive compared to other enthusiast grade 1,000W PSUs
  • Price (For Some)
