Critics' Consensus

“The be quiet! Straight Power 11 550W Platinum delivers silent operation and high efficiency with quality components, but offers only marginal performance gains over the previous Gold model. Flawed protection configurations and high idle power consumption make it less competitive than alternatives like the Fractal Design Ion+ 560P.”
