Cooler Master MasterWatt Maker 1200 PSU review -
Product Showcase
As you can see, the PSU is fully modular. So that puts away the discussion that native wired and connected PSUs are more efficient to rest really. That's the last time I'll mention it. As you can see there are lot's and lots of connections. Even the ATX power header can be detached for reasons I do not know, well perhaps for custom sleeving.
There's a plethora of connectors ranging from graphics to storage to ATX power. To the far left you can see a USB header which you can connect to a motherboard USB connector. With software this allows for monitoring and configuration from the PC.
At the front and top side we spot huge honeycomb air vent; it allows for optimal airflow running through the PSU, cooling down its components and keeping them nicely efficient. Also we could reverse that statement, a very efficient PSU will create less heat.
Also, obviously we spot the power connector (C19) and the on/off switch (properly spring based). Just below the on/off switch you can insert the Bluetooth dongle if you'd like to use the Smartphone APP.
If that power cable looks weird to you, it is. This cable is model C19, typically better shielded and allows for higher power draw. We see these connectors a lot being used on data-centers actually. I believe these puppies can handle 20 Amps at 250 Volts or something.
As you can see, a lengthy product alright with a length of 20 cm - it's complete dimensions are 200mm (L) x 150mm (W) x 86mm (H). Well we assume that if you opt to purchase this dark beast, you won't have a small PC anyways. But please do check out if you have the space for it as next to the 20 cm you will also need to lead out the cabling of course. At the top you'll stumble into a big yet silent enough 135 mm Silencio FP fan. A very silent ball bearing quality fan.
And check that out, that's 100A if configured at the single 12V rails alone. Default is a split to 12v1 and 12V2 each allowing 50 AMP x12V. This PSU could hold three GeForce GTX 1080 cards or Radeon Fury X cards relatively easily, and then you can still add an overclock. Considering a high-end graphics card eats roughly 15 Amps per card, you can do the math here.
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
