Conclusion

With the Straight Power E9 700W be quiet! offers a good PSU. The PSU is built from a mixture of a Low and a High end architecture. The Manufacturer achieved the impressive Gold efficiency. (The efficiency was even above the 80 Plus Gold standard)

be quiet! put a nice and decent design in place and also the manufacturing quality is on a decent level. Because of the use of cheap Taiwanese Teapo capacitors we however do not recommend this device for applications which require high reliability or an extremely long lifespan.

Other than that we really have a hard time understanding the pricing. The FSP Aurum Gold 700 is available about 90 US-Dollar. If you keep in mind, that this be quite! PSU costs no less than 140 US-Dollar, then we definitely have to scrape off one star for this descision.

The be quiet! Straight Power E9 700W gets 2.5 out of 5 stars.
