While noise rock’s heyday was in the ’80s and early ’90s, exploding in activity and influence through independent labels such as Touch & Go and Amphetamine Reptile, its roots go back to the weirder sounds of the 1960s: primitive garage rock, provocateurs like Cromagnon and, most importantly, the Velvet Underground. It’s arguably an oversimplified, generic way to describe a style of music, but after decades of eardrum trauma, notoriety and musical stunts, “noise rock” speaks volumes. It’s not a buzzy catchphrase like “shoegaze” or “krautrock.” It’s simply two ideas smashed together - noise and rock, the marriage of conventional rock structures and melodies with the techniques of experimental noise music. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly when the term “noise rock” was coined. That vile beast is the sound we now know as noise rock. Out of the roots of hardcore and punk slithered something much nastier and much noisier. Before noise rock had a name, rock critics such as Lester Bangs and Robert Christgau came up with their own suitably unpleasant ways of describing the tortured sounds of music oozing out of the American underground in the late ’70s and early ’80s. Seemingly every word associated with noise rock sounds incredibly unflattering out of context, and even in context doesn’t fare much better. Meet today's review candidate, the be quiet! 11 FM Pure Power, this round available as 850W and 1000W models. the FM series is a popular completely modular power supply with outputs of 550W, 650W, 7.Grind. īe Quiet! Pure Power 11 FM - 1000W PSU Review Not only does the LCS CPU cooler offer fresh looks with new aRGB LEDs, but it is also more silent with a PWM-based pump. Now, don't le.īe quiet! has redesigned its liquid cooling line, meet the Pure Loop 2 FX. Initially released as 1000W, 850W, and 750W models we'll check out the first one. The main difference is the full ATX 3.0 compatibility.īe Quiet! Dark Power 13 - 1000W PSU Reviewīe quiet! has been brewing an ATX 3.0 compatible power supply for a while now, meet the Dark Power 13. We reviewed the predecessors, be quiet! Pure Power 11 (in 2018, it earned the “Recommended” award) and Pure Power 11 FM (in February 2022, also “Recommended), and we wonder what has changed in the meantime for the Pure Power 12M. On the same day (24th January), the Pure Power 12M series was officially announced. The company is mainly known for its PSUs and Hilbert has recently reviewed the Dark Power 13 1000W. Today we’re putting the new be quiet! Pure Power 12 M 850W power supply on our test bench. These results are pretty to see really.īe Quiet! Pure Power 12 M - 850W ATX 3.0 PSU review So what happens when we start to overclock? Well, only after 1.35 Volts on the CPU the kit becomes noisier. The cooler is totally silent when it comes to acoustic levels. Even when we put the processor at 100% load with several full 1024M runs. In both idle and load, you cannot hear the fan. Frequencies below 1kHz and above 6kHz are attenuated, whereas frequencies between 1kHz and 6kHz are amplified by the A weighting. The letter A is added to indicate the correction that was made in the measurement. A specific circuit is added to the sound level meter to correct its reading in regard to this concept. In other words, the measured noise levels in dB will not reflect the actual human perception of the loudness of the noise. Noise with significant measured levels (in dB) at high or low frequencies will not be as annoying as it would be when its energy is concentrated in the middle frequencies. This means that the perception of noise is not at all equal at every frequency. The human hearing system has different sensitivities at different frequencies. Take this measurement as an indication, not a precise measurement, please. You could only achieve objective measurement in a sound test chamber. It's slightly subjective as there is always noise in the background, from the streets, from the HD, PSU fan, etc so this is by a mile or two, not a precise measurement. With a certified dBA meter, we measure how many DBAs originate from the PC.
