Frequently Asked Questions

Is the be quiet! Power Zone 2 1000W compatible with ATX 3.0 motherboards?

Yes, it supports ATX12V and EPS12V standards, which are compatible with all ATX motherboards, including those with ATX 3.0 features. However, it does not include a native 12VHPWR connector, so for RTX 40-series GPUs you'll need to use the included 6+2-pin PCIe cables or an adapter.

How quiet is the fan under load?

The 135mm Silent Wings fan uses a fluid-dynamic bearing, which minimizes noise and wear. Under typical loads, the fan operates at low RPMs, producing minimal sound. Even under heavy load, it remains quieter than most competing PSUs, making it ideal for silent PC builds.

Can this PSU handle dual graphics cards (SLI/CrossFire)?

Yes, the 1000W output and six PCIe connectors allow you to run dual high-end GPUs in SLI or CrossFire configurations, provided your motherboard supports it. The single +12V rail ensures stable power distribution to both cards.
