Power supply be quiet! POWER ZONE 2 1000W 80 Plus Platinum ATX 3.1 - BP008EU

be quiet! POWER ZONE 2 1000W is a serious ATX power supply for systems with powerful CPUs and high-end GPUs, where stability is more important than anything else. With 1000W power and 80+ Platinum certification, you can confidently plan configurations with high energy consumption without worrying about efficiency and reserve. The power supply is ATX 3.0/3.1 – PCIe Gen 5.0/5.1 compatible and comes with a PCI-E Gen5 12VHPWR connector, making it ready for modern next-generation graphics cards. Add in a semi-passive zero-RPM mode with a 140mm Pure Wings 3 fan, and you get a quiet yet serious base for gaming or workstation builds.

What you get

With real 1000W and outputs DC 3.3/5/±12 V, the power supply provides enough current for heavy multi-core CPUs and powerful GPUs without hitting the limit even with the first upgrade. 80+ Platinum and up to 94.1% efficiency mean less heat loss and more stable voltages, especially under constant load like rendering, encoding, or long gaming sessions. The modular design allows you to use only the necessary cables, which simplifies cable management and improves airflow in the case. Semi-passive zero-RPM cooling keeps the fan off under low load and only spins when necessary, and even then it continues to run for an additional 2-5 minutes to avoid frequent starts and stops and the associated noise. Active PFC and LLC regulation technology help provide a cleaner and more stable line, which is important for sensitive hardware and loaded configurations.

• 1000W power – sufficient for high-end gaming or creative configurations with a powerful GPU and multi-core CPU.
• 80+ Platinum certification with 94.1% efficiency – less loss, lower consumption from the outlet, and less heat generated.
• ATX 3.0/3.1 and PCIe Gen 5.0/5.1 compatibility – readiness for modern graphics cards and future upgrades without the need for adapters.
• PCI-E Gen5 12VHPWR connector with 90° 12V-2x6 – convenient connection for new GPUs and cleaner cable routing in the case.
• Modular power supply unit – connect only the necessary cables for better airflow and easier installation.
• Pure Wings 3 140mm fan with semi-passive zero-RPM – the fan is off at idle and runs quietly under load, with an additional 2–5 minute run-on for less start/stop noise.
• Advanced voltage regulation with LLC technology – more stable voltages under sudden load changes and better protection for components.
• Connectors: 20+4 Pin ATX, 4+4 Pin ATX/EPS, 8 Pin ATX/EPS, PCI-Express 6+2 pin x 3 – easily covers modern motherboards and one or multiple GPUs.
• Black ATX chassis with mesh design – clean and recognizable appearance that fits in most modern cases.

Who it is suitable for

This power supply is a sensible choice if you are planning a high-end gaming build, a powerful creative/workstation machine, or simply want a long-term foundation for upgrades to PCIe Gen 5 GPUs. It is also suitable if you value low noise and high efficiency without compromising on power. For more modest configurations with a mid-range graphics card, 1000W may be excessive, but if you are considering a future upgrade – it makes sense.

The strongest combination here is the combination of 1000W power, 80+ Platinum efficiency, and ATX 3.1 / PCIe Gen 5 support, plus the quiet semi-passive cooling – a stable base for a serious build that does not limit you in future generations of hardware.
