Computex - Cooler Master launches new PSUs
By Hilbert Hagedoorn, June 2, 2010 - 3:27 AM N/A


 

High-end computers are getting more and more demanding when it comes to power requirement.  The latest top of the range graphics cards from both ATI and Nvidia are demanding more power than ever before and the latest flagship motherboards are equally demanding once you start pushing the limits of your system by overclocking it. As such Cooler Master deemed it right to release the new Silent Pro Gold series power supplies. The new batch comes with a nice 90 percent power efficiency under load at 220V, which gains it an 80 Plus Gold certification.

The Silent Pro Gold series features an entirely new design with several innovative and patented technologies. Cooler Master has created HTT™ (Heat Transfer Technology), a unique “L-shaped” heat-sink designed to vastly improve the airflow inside the power supply, resulting in lower operating temperatures. Another unique feature to the Silent Pro Gold series is the Hybrid Transformer™ which mounts the transformer directly to the heatsink. This makes for a more compact transformer and improves the power efficiency at the same time.

Another feature that helps improve the power efficiency is Hyper Path which is a “hyper link” between the transformer and the various power conversion components. The “hyper link” results in almost a loss-less transfer of energy which has never been done before. Combine all three of these features and you got one of the most quiet and power efficient power supplies in its category. The entire range offers a power efficiency that exceeds 90 percent at 220V, starting from a load of about 50 percent (model dependant), with some models never dropping below 90 percent. During normal use (up to about 50 percent load), neither model exceeds 21 dBA of fan noise thanks to the low RPM fan design combined with the new heat-sink design.

Manufacturer suggested retail (exl. VAT) prices are:

  • 600W - 100.76 EUR
  • 700W - 109.16 EUR
  • 800W - 125.97 EUR
  • 1000W - 167.23 EUR
  • 1200W - 210.00 EUR

The Silent Pro Gold series is available in a wide range of different Wattages, starting at 600W going all the way up to 1200W. The 700W, 800W and 900W models are all ready for 3-way SLI or CrossFireX, while the 1000W and 1200W models handles quad SLI or CrossFireX as well as the latest XL-ATX motherboards with support for dual 8-pin 12V connectors. The 600W unit starts out with a single 48A 12V rail, while the 1200W model ups this to an insane 98A.
