Be Quiet has released the Pure Power 12 power supplies. These support ATX 3.1, whereas the Pure Power 11 did not have ATX 3.x support, for example, with the 12Vhpwr cable. The Pure Power is the entry-level series of Be Quiet power supplies.

The Pure Power 12 is the successor to the Pure Power 11. The Pure Power 11 was available as a 400W version; this has been discontinued for the 12. Instead, the 12 series starts with 550W. This has a 300W-12Vhpwr cable for the GPU. There is also a 650W version with a 450W-12Vhpwr cable; versions of 750W and higher come with a 600W-12Vhpwr cable.

The power supplies are 80 PLUS Gold certified and have a 120mm fan. The power supplies also support GPUs with 6+2-pin connectors and have at least two cables. Incidentally, the power supplies are not modular. Be quiet gives the power supplies a ten-year warranty.
