what is up everyone we are in Hamburg Germany or just outside of the city of Hamburg at the be quiet headquarters this is their media rooms is where they film all their sweet b-roll for their new products being released they're showing us around the entire facility they have distribution centres they have a bunch of testing warehouses a bunch of stuff goes on here and they're going to show us well most of it most of it the stuff that we can't show you you'll see soon so this is the power supply sorting facility the distribution center for Europe be quiet power supplies are in this room that a bunch stuff in other warehouses as well they're attached to this one but I guess it's probably the most power supplies I've ever seen in a single room and I'm loving every second risk so the box is a pretty much self-explanatory AC straight power 10 80 plus gold yeah so you order one of these and you live in Europe I notice you could get this box right here and we're in the conference room I here with Chris from be quiet you may have met him at Coffee Tex or somewhere else on YouTube he's pretty much the front man for be quiet you see him a lot on Twitter and showcasing a lot of cool products they've a lot of stuff coming up and a lot of stuff they're currently offering so I want to first I guess ask you about how you started working at be quiet and what you think of it yeah that's that's a pretty long time ago actually I started with computers in the like late 90s I think like seriously um not with the older stuff I guess I never really worried about that but yeah yeah till my first PC and 99 I think and then I went to the States at some point and bought myself an ethylene 800 that was my my first DIY PC FY 800 what can I grab a 37 then when I I wouldn't remember I think at that time oh no I had a voodoo hoodoo or what tell us has something here from CVX that's for sure yeah at that time they were really the best I think and then they had like two chips on one card and there was like unheard of and yeah I bought myself one of those so of the three I guess major product categories you have power supplies cases and coolers correct yeah right so which of those is the most popular I mean that depends on the under country really because here in Germany we actually since the company was based on on selling power supplies this is like our best selling product but the other categories are growing very very strong and we started with cooling maybe like four or five years ago and we came a long way and yeah then two years ago we started with cases and all-in-one water cooling like last year so yeah I mean we we came a long way but power supplies in Germany is still like roughly 70% maybe but yeah in other parts of the world you know it's always depending you know what what these countries really want so you have three major power supply product categories correct you have the purest straight in the dark power series yeah that's basically it yeah we have we have like a few more existent power and power zone and SFX l which we introduced just at Computex but yeah those are like maybe the main areas we have it's like a good better best so we start with a with a pure power it started as a name suggest as like an entry-level power supply but like yeah over the over the years it just evolved into into like a normal mainstream power supply and as our bestseller so far we have that with and without modular options so God is actually pretty good and well priced that you can you know really have like they're the main spare mainstream aspect of it straight power is more very much focused on silence and yeah it comes also in Germany with with and without modular cables so in the u.s. we basically have only modular power supplies and yeah it's more focused on side aspect and with a dark power we basically have like it's our no compromise product it's just like the best of the best inside you know you can you can see that also from from test results you know that those are really great that's when I personally easier the dirt Carper land on a thousand one so this gives up to have 1200 watts exactly yeah yeah just want to spare basically 550 to 1200 so we were in the warehouse with just a second ago the clip that we just saw so you have that's your European distribution center yeah exactly okay so basically anyone who orders anything from Europe regarding straight power pure powers or power power supplies that's where it's going to come from the warehouse we exactly Wow okay muscle car there's a lot of power supplies down there because we sell tens of thousands every month and yeah this is what what we the famous with you know so power supplies our best selling product here in Germany or basically in Europe as well so yeah we we put a lot of focus into like the development into these products and that's why I guess we're selling so well we're running running through the test program here and then it shows like that and so on so in a nutshell here where we have different parts of the power supply your 24-pin your AP DPS CPU for fans all that's being distributed to this unit right here and these are individual power readings and what the system is doing over there is checking to make sure that the power being delivered to this unit is correct there's you know mineral ripple all that stuff that you want to watch for on a power supply so this one is very stable and that's what it's showing here what it's doing is running through a series of tests that's what you just saw that Chris was pointing to earlier so you'll see the power shutting off shutting back on very light load in this case sometimes with a ramp up a very heavy load so it's running through a bunch of dynamic tests to make sure this power supply is in fact good to go so once the power supply in question has been tested on big machines over there and over there they'll plug it into a PC like this just a regular old system and I'll to make sure that it properly and a real PC just for you know real world sake making sure that everything's good to go and so the different one here but everything is running fun company was a distributor before for mainly cases first and then get a brand have started when they when they saw that hey you know people want like silent products because seven years ago you had like nm X was the only like retail company where at here and the fans were just outrageously noisy so yeah I was automatically how was your competitive advantage was just a.m. and I just thought like okay you know the silent thing is coming coming through and in this okay it's called company be quiet and just you know focus on salad Wow there you go that's where the name comes from so you said that be quiet got into coolers like CPU coolers for example what four or five years ago yeah okay so you guys offer a wide array of cooling products you've got some of the biggest ones over here on the left when this one here it used quite a bit and then I even got some smaller ITX form-factor cooler they're really great yeah this is what is almost really nice here huh and then something pretty small but just like standard ATX one side yep yes all very entry level model have pure Oakland okay just retail for 25 bucks you know I mean that's you know it's a no-brainer you know so I guess what we can do here then just kind of run through each cooler like what a builder would look for how much they'd be willing to spend what kind of coin potential you're looking at with each of these coolers just kind of like a yeah overview yeah as I mentioned down the smallest one starts with 25 used of mllp and then Evol all the way up to like $90 MSRP for the very thick one here so you have like a wide range of products of course what's the price also increases the GDP so the the heat every of these coolers can dissipate from your from your CPU and we just did like a few different versions you know for example you have like the shadow box film is very slim and here you won't have any obstruction for with the with the memory and when you have like very tall memory which is of course a problem when you have this cooler here it will be a little more difficult even though you can move the fan a little bit up that shouldn't be a really big problem but with this one you have zero problems you know and yeah that's like how all of these coolers differ you know you just have here you have a very thick one here when you want to play around you know with like with the air direction for example you can you can mount the fan or two fans like on any side of this cooler yeah or you have like a stuff like the dark rock TF which is like yeah the top town a top-down cooler you can remove for example the fan over here to make space for taller memory again or you know you leave it on and then you have like a massive amount of cooling capability again you know and yeah one thing we we really take care with our coolers with is like having a nice looking of it you know so as you can see like all of these cooler doesn't matter if you if you just paid 25 bucks you still have a really great looking you have like these nice end caps here it's on it's just something you know you usually don't see in the market - Ellis with any of the competition so yeah just imagine you have this one I can't point it out enough just this one in your in your case you know it's just looking really great like your own you know like wind tunnel for CPU so how the faceplates look really good this is like the defining factor for you guys that's what I pointed out with the massive one like not only to take up a lot of space in your case which is nice if you want to ice it it's like if you want to fill up as much space in your cases you can't be space just looks unused like you're missing something even though you probably aren't but not only is it an advantage you know just but the way that air is dispersed through the cooler through the fins but it looks great at the same time and you get that even with the really cheap coolers - yeah that's nice I really like that one here you know it's just you know it's just just want to build quality you know from the like it's just it's a very cute really small and a really cool cooler you know you can just you know when you build a small system that's just really just looking really great on it and one thing we need to mention is like all of these coolers have our pure wings two fans on it and in the higher end you find always our Salamis three cooler fan on it and that is something you know yeah III guess you can only find what be quiet that we develop our own fan and yeah keep on putting it on our products let it be a power supply the cooler or the cooler the cases so this is one thing I think it's pretty unique and you can you can just control the silent factor much better in that way so that's one thing I wanted to kind of segue into then so you have pure Wings fans and you have silent wings fans great oh so yeah this is a silent wings fan here so I guess these like it's a these comes in the power supplies like the higher end ones you also get these included with cases you can purchase as well so ok what is the difference between the other than just price because the silent wings are going to be the more expensive ones but obviously they're that they have their cool different yeah different technology and different features I mean when you when you just look at the pure wing for starters you know it's it's a normal fan you know it's just a normal fan and it's just a they retail for like 10 11 News dollars and I think for that you get really a ton of like good features in a really like entry-level package you know and then of course yeah when you take the Santa wings this it's like double double the price basically but what you get is just really an amazing technology for example they all come with a 6-pole motor which is just much more amazing it's a much more silent and yeah it's just a better technology and there's just a ton more you can see over the mounting for example you know we have like two different mounting kits here for for each fan so if you want to mount it on a radiator or a case you can take like a different mounting kit and yeah as you can see also from the the shape is differently here to increase their pressure a little bit you know and those are just much better fans here but yeah now speaking of silent wings 3 you painted this yourself yeah yeah I did some beautiful white styling links exam I you know make these like you don't manufacture with this you know very difficult you know it's very difficult to produce a wide fan because you know with all of the different plastic parts you know and and it's just really difficult to really match everything hundred-percent that you have like you know one unified white color so yeah we just took one fan spray painted myself because I know you like like a white system bill gear so we wanted to have a look if we can just offer you know something like this and maybe for your next build yes right so another walter white those coming out to be in the white now is pro 900 yeah yeah all right it's going to look really good and so yeah we're gonna put couple of these in there actually more than a couple hopefully I get you to paint a couple more of them oh yeah I'd also yeah yeah there are so many like intricate parts in the stand that you nailed like you paid everything so let's say I have a little practice this looks really good I'm really excited for this yeah and it looks fantastic yeah if you if you want to have this kind of fan you know just leave like a little comment you know and get our product department you know get some give them some ideas you know and yeah would be would be great to hear your viewpoints about it yeah that's what I'm telling Chris like right now there's not a company that really just produces white products like you have to get like an exception you know they're competent produce like a limited edition white fan or white power supply but if you actually have a solid lineup of light white fans I mean white cases those have taken off sounds interesting there you go might be willing to be quiet and look into in the future I'm biased I mean clearly like that looks good it looks seriously good unfortunately oh is just uh yeah the production is really difficult but yeah let's have a look so normally if we are testing we have to wait it with display shows a 35 degree for the environment temperature so after that I switch will start with system to display all the details on it over here they are sense to keep the environment still the same Levin who it down if it's getting too warm decide so you have like you see on the right side the dummy means free yes just like that's like below the CPU cooler it's creating the heat to their connection okay okay the amount of heat it is cooling and like this you can also find out the TDP utility of each cooler you run whatever you want to have that kind of 60 200 240 250 and then you have a look at the coolant still make it is certified and in front that's just the temperature die already and they also have temperature dive inside of the heating block of course you guys obviously have a lot of stuff coming out soon much of which we can't show or talk about still when up in the production phase or you've got it ready to go but you know you wanna keep it secret for a little longer build the suspense so where do you see market share going like Nick Nick with power supplies coolers cases like where would be an equilibrium for you guys in terms of like how popular each of those categories is do you think I mean in general we are definitely working on every of these departments equally it's just yeah as I said you know it's depends on the countries you know and we have like a lot of success with cases all around the world with our cooling and we are with power supplies they're building up as well and and like in some countries we're only selling power supply so it it's a pretty funny actually and it's a challenge and I definitely love it but I think in general yeah we have a ton of product coming out actually you know sometimes you know you think like God you know we need some new products and then suddenly we have like you know we we introduced the SF XL you know at Computex that one will come out pretty soon then we also hint it a new straight power line yellow of the 11 and yeah those are also coming I think either this year or beginning of next year and then yeah we teach the white dot Bass Pro 900 right that is coming out your beginning of September and living on the playa limited supplies yeah and and then we have another case coming up this year still can talk about that not too much but I can promise you that will be very interesting and yeah and then we're going into the new year then now we have CS SES coming and now that we we all meet again in Vegas I'm sure and yeah let's have a look at what kind of products we can introduce at that time pretty good I'm sorry there's some I know it's like what we're showing you on in these videos there's so much to see and we're trying to get as much as we can in the tour itself but you guys have been growing like crazy here you have see the basement Taiwan that's really great and it's been a great experience and it's a great adventure you know and the u.s. is running really well u.s. and Canada and and we're just yeah we definitely will focus on North America and yeah then we start with South America at some point Asia is running really well as well you know it's that's just great that's good good well we're gonna try to show you as much of this h headquarters i guess as we can in this video so stay tuned for more b-roll some more of the tour itself and we're gonna check out some cool rooms you guys got some really cool stuff to show off a lot of cool testing centers and dogs and shooting areas it was like yeah the dream of every like enthusiast i guess actually when he was going everywhere just parts everywhere like rusting equipment everywhere yeah exactly it's a good environment machines downstairs you know that's great you know just test power supply's really in a really crazy way you know very easy and you can just have all of these results popping up suddenly you know in like a an 80 page review you know it's just crazy and just when you think they didn't make anything else yeah your energy drink from be quiet I really want to try this now yeah you do you do that's all right yeah that's maybe 90 milli require a 1 over time it's good there's this bitch try it no I can't read in front of the shoe won't be quiet pure energy energy drink come on it's nuts with the left I was in the middle of an ad there you messed up you have the labs must be super serious
