What's the better psu?

[mr griffin]

So have two be-quiet psu's I know there's probably not much difference between them, but am changing case so now is the time to put the best one in the new case.
So they are as follows!

Be-quiet 1000w dark power 12 or be-quiet 1000w straight Power 11 Platinum

Your right not much difference so age and use would be a factor to consider.

Bequiet have 3 product tiers, Straight (formerly Pure), Silent and Dark. So arguably the Dark Power is positioned higher, and as such probably had a longer warranty etc.

But in reality, age and efficiency badge are best markers for PSU choice in my opinion. You could research whether bequiet used FSP or Seasonic for either model as Seasonic are a better OEM.

The dark power is about 1 year newer, so guess I'll put that in the main rig if they are about the same
