Packaging, Bundle, and Cables
The be quiet! Pure Power 13 M 1000W comes in a coloured box with a simple and straightforward design and print.


The back of the box has more information about the PSU and be quiet.


More brands are moving toward eco-friendly packaging practices, and be quiet! appears to be embracing this shift. Inside the box, only the PSU itself is wrapped in bubble wrap, accompanied by a small pack containing screws and cable ties, resulting in a notably minimal use of plastic overall.

Bundle


The Pure Power 13 M 1000W is bundled with the typical essential accessories including screws and cable ties. Aside from the modular cables, the PSU also comes with a manual and a power cord.

Cables

The be quiet! Pure Power 13 M series is supplied with flat black cables. The 24-pin ATX and 12V-2x6 cables have additional braided sleeving with heat-shrink to keep the wiring neatly bundled.


All modular cables on the Pure Power 13 M are clearly labelled at the connectors, making installation more straightforward. The included 12v-2x6 cable is rated for up to 600W, ensuring full compatibility with even the highest-end NVIDIA RTX graphics cards.

The Pure Power 13 M 1000W PSU includes the following cables below:

1x 20+4Pin Motherboard ATX (550mm)
1x 8Pin EPS (650mm)
1x 8Pin (4+4Pin) EPS (650mm)
1x 16Pin PCIe 5.1 12V-2x6 (600mm)
1x 8Pin (6+2Pin) +8Pin (6+2Pin) PCIe (500mm+150mm)
2x 8Pin (6+2Pin) PCIe (600mm)
1x 4x SATA (500mm+150mm+150mm+150mm)
1x 2xSATA+2xMOLEX (500mm+150mm+150mm+150mm)




With the included cable set, the 1000W variant can support multiple graphics cards that rely on older PCIe power connectors. However, as only a single 12V-2x6 cable is provided, any additional GPU requiring this connector would need to use a PCIe-to-12V-2x6 adapter.
