Certification & Efficiency
Certification
So then, Cooler Master offers a 80+ Titanium certification as certified by the 80PLUS organization (the people that certify and test efficiency). We already explained a little what that literally means. But what does such a certification entail? Well, 80 Plus (trademarked 80 PLUS) is a voluntary certification program intended to promote efficient energy use in computer power supply units (PSUs). Launched in 2004 by Ecos Consulting, it certifies products that have more than 80% energy efficiency at 20%, 50% and 100% of rated load, and a power factor of 0.9 or greater at 100% load. That is, such PSUs will waste 20% or less electric energy as heat at the specified load levels, Thus reducing electricity use and bills compared to less efficient PSUs. Sometimes, rebates are given for manufacturers who use 80 Plus-certified PSUs.
Well, we have standard, bronze, silver, gold, platinum and thus now Titatium certifications. A PSU that is certified 80 PLUS Gold or 80 PLUS Platinum is more efficient than a normal unit. BTW the specs have been updated just a notch, I shortly noticed prior to releasing this review, have a peek:

| 80 Plus Titanium | 90% | 92% | 94% | 90% | 90% | 94% | 96% | 91% |
Above you can see a table that shows what efficiency levels a PSU has to achieve at a given load to make the grade for a specific certification level.The power supplies are certified by the 80PLUS organization to deliver a 96% energy efficiency at 50% load and still 90% efficiency when your PC idles (at 230 Volts). Key to this this digital PSU are its all aluminum construction. Cooler Master boasts of this PSU's increased airflow and reduced component count. Users may also enjoy the real-time PSU state readouts and control for multiple PSU parameters via CM's mobile and desktop apps.
Further key features of this new PSU include:
- Single and Multi-rail modes
- Fan-less mode up to moderate loads
- Ultra-quiet silent profile with Silencio FP 135 mm PWM fan
- Analyze failures and rescue data with hard drive logging system
- 7 Year Warranty
Cooler Master's Titanium 94% efficiency digital power supply unit offers unbeatable performance with unparalleled oversight and control via our exclusive CM Connect software and app. Second-generation 3D circuit design achieves nearly lossless efficiency through a shorter, uncluttered expressway of power, cutting wiring and heat wastage.
The Silencio FP 135 mm keeps fan vibration, noise and power consumption to a minimum while providing high air pressure, and the honeycomb mesh design allows proper airflow to components. Top it off with a brushed aluminum finish, keeping the system looking just as good as it runs. Check accurate digital readouts and control all key power parameters, even while your computer is asleep, via our easy to use and comprehensive Bluetooth V3.0 smartphone app. Every fluctuation streams on your Windows, Android or iOS device in real-time. A unique logging system records and saves all data to the hard disk in the event of failure. It also comes with fully modular, upgraded cabling that can handle higher loads, and a seven-year warranty for peace of mind.
