Ninja Lane have reviewed the be quiet Dark Power Pro 10 550W Power Supply which gives good silent performance:
Quote:
"There are two things that define the Dark Power Pro 10 product line. The first is silent operation and with a name like be quiet you can count on them taking this aspect seriously. The second is a performance tuning option that allows you to bridge the four 12v power rails into a single high capacity rail. This is done using the Overclocking Key which is either a single jumper or an expansion slot mounted rocker switch. OCK is not completely dedicated to overclocking but can be used by anyone who prefers to use the single rail power option over the default configuration. Normally you wouldn't need something like this but it does come in handy, especially when you are pushing the limits of the PSU and need more control over power delivery.
Overall we enjoyed the Dark Power Pro, the modular design is a nice change from the norm and the dedicated fan cables do a lot to free up the motherboard fan headers. Keep in mind that you won't get any RPM control with these connections but when combined with properly configured cooling solution you shouldn't need it. We would have liked to see locking tabs on the 20+4 ATX and 4+4 CPU power connectors since the +4 tends to be the exception with most modern systems."
