Verdict
be quiet! Pure Power 12 M 850W
8.2 / 10 Expert Rating
The 850W Pure Power 12 M tops out the modular M-series, giving budget-focused builders a native 12V-2x6 connector and Gold efficiency without stepping up to the pricier Straight Power line.
Cougar GLE 1200W
6.8 / 10 Expert Rating
Solid paper specs and a genuinely compact 1200W Gold ATX 3.1 unit, but Cougar has zero track record with us and several spec details (MTBF, exact connector counts, official warranty term) aren't consistently published yet.
