Cooler Master MasterWatt Maker 1200 PSU review - Product Showcase

Product Showcase

 

As always we start with the simple stuff, the packaging! So that you know what to look for in the stores, are people still purchasing stuff in stores BTW? Ah well, the PSU inside is packaged nicely and protected in a carton. Let's unbox though:
 

 

The PSU and cables all come in a pouch packaging, the PSU is protected in a cloth bag. It is quite a unit alright. Fantastic to see (or hear depending how you look at things) is that the PSU remains fan-less until it passes a certain (configurable) load. So (depending on config) up-to say 450 Watt this beast is 100% silent. Also lovely is the ability to digitally switch the PSU from two 12V rails to one single 12V rail.
  

 
Ehm yes... Hello! So there is a Bluetooth dongle available that you can plug-in to your PSU for communication on your SmartPhone APP (USB is available as well for the Windows APP). Basically you should do what the sticker says, if you break it you Sir are buying it :) 
  

 

After unpacking, not a dent, scratch or smudge was on the unit. I like it, the PSU breathes this stylish matte grey to dark finish with a black theme. The PSU is ready for all current CPU & GPU generations and offers high capacity on its one single +12V rail (or configurable double 12V rails) which is great for multi-GPU graphics solutions or really high end graphics cards. The PSU offers a whole lot of cables alright! GPU connectors for example, you'll receive six sets of 6+2-pin PCI PEG headers alone, enough for three enthusiast class graphics cards.
 

My one quirk with the PSU is basically the cabling? I would have liked to see a bit of sleeving or flat cables really. There are many separated wires and it feels a bit like ehm, spaghetti? Cabling is nice and black including the connectors. The ATX power connector is another thing, basically CM hid some power filters in the connector, but the end results looks rather poor with that huge connector. Later on I'll show you some photos on how that looks actually connected to a motherboard.

Cooler Master Masterair MA624 Stealth/MA612 Stealth ARGB review
Today, we are reviewing two air coolers from Cooler Master: MasterAir MA624 Stealth and MA612 Stealth ARGB. Usually, we had a chance to check the AIO solutions from them, so now it's a good opportunity to study what we can achieve more standardly. This will also be a nice occasion to present two types of cooling architecture, as the MA612 Stealth ARGB is a single-tower, and MA624 Stealth is a dual-tower
