SFX L POWER 600W
The be quiet! SFX L POWER 600W is a 600W SFX-L power supply rated 80+ Gold, fully modular. Independent lab testing puts it at A- for noise, averaging 25.5 dB(A) across the load range, meaning quiet, audible under heavy load. Full specs, quality score and current prices are below.

Quality score
How we score →A power supply has no performance benchmark: every 600W unit delivers 600W. This scores how well built and how liveable the SFX L POWER 600W is, out of 100, from six published factors.
Better always scores higher, but the steps are uneven on purpose: Bronze to Gold is worth 11 of the 25 efficiency points, Gold to Titanium only 6. A factor we hold no value for scores zero rather than being skipped, so a unit we know little about never outranks a fully specified one. That does mean a zero can mean either poor or unknown, which is what the confidence figure above is for. Physical size scores nothing: SFX-L is a fit decision, not a quality one.
Measured in the lab
Everything else on this page is a specification the manufacturer published. These figures were measured from the SFX L POWER 600W itself by Cybenetics, an independent test lab.

Each figure is an average over more than 1,450 load combinations, which is not the same measurement as the 80+ Gold badge on the box. That badge certifies the unit at a handful of fixed load points; this covers the whole range, including the light loads a desktop spends most of its time at. Lab figures exist for roughly a fifth of the units we track, so their absence on another page means that unit has not been through this lab, not that it did badly.

What the SFX L POWER 600W can power
Compare all GPUs →The graphics cards this 600W unit meets the system requirement for, ranked fastest first at 1080p, with the margin left over. The resolution follows the wattage, because a unit this size is bought for a card that will be run at 1080p. Headroom is measured against the card maker’s own whole-system recommendation, so 0 W means it meets that recommendation exactly rather than falling short.
