💡 Cooler Master Silent Pro M 850W 80 PLUS Bronze Modular Power Supply (RS850-AMBAJ3-US) Review

I got a new, smaller HTPC case and didn't want to bother with cramming lots of cables from the current PSU I was using into the case. So I looked for a modular power supply to get rid of extra cables. I also wanted the PSU to be very quiet as that is usually the goal of an HTPC. This Cooler Master seemed to meet both requirements perfectly. I didn't need a 600 watt model but couldn't find a smaller one (there was supposed to be a 500 watt model but I couldn't find it when I bought mine). I've…

To be honest this power supply is great for PC builders but I think I have too many watts but oh well. Overall this is a very good power supply that runs in the background to power all your components. The included cables are useful for daisy chaining up to 15 drives if your motherboard supports it and 4 GPUs. The main ATX power cables are neatly arranged in a protective mesh so they don't overload the machine and are easy to manipulate so they don't interfere with other components. Overall I'm

This power supply is absolutely silent (according to past usage). Case to maintain reliable performance. As for the cables, I'm used to rounding cables on modular blocks, they have dark grey/black wires that run flat to each other (the wires are insulated from each other). It was a little bothersome when padding in the back, but that's probably because I've gotten used to it, how I deal with it (personal note, I find round ones look a lot cleaner than flat ones). The connectors snap securely…

Fits well in the case, looks and feels good. Comes with many cables, both Molex and SATA, in addition to the motherboard cable. So much so that I can't even hear it. Feels chilly, although not surprising as I don't stress at all. I have a large motherboard with an i7 processor, a large aftermarket heatsink with fan, 3 case fans, an SSD, a 2TB hybrid hard drive, a regular 1TB HD, a CD/DVD burner and some external devices that are powered by USB. . Even after adding a graphics card I don't expect

Since it was founded more than ten years ago, CoolerMaster has been a healthy and growing company that always strives for innovative ideas and high quality. With ISO9001 and 9002 certifications, CoolerMaster has grown from one of the best thermal solution providers to a company that also sells power supplies, PC cases, storage devices and a full range of PC fans. It is in fact called Silent Pro M600 because of the modular 12V rail power supply with high gain, high efficiency and low noise. This

Under normal circumstances I would give it five stars. It works great and is too quiet for other things in my living room to hear. So what's the problem? I bought it together with the Cooler Master HAF 932 case which is perfect for this PSU. at the bottom. Great place for a heavy power supply. Unfortunately, the cables are designed for top mounting. You expect the first slice to be up and the daisy chain power down. Well, these cables don't run through the back panel (where the cabling is…

My system works fine with this PSU (850W version). Here is a list of pros and cons about it. Pros: The power rating of this PSU is accurate, which means it actually delivers as much power as advertised. It stays very cold and calm. In fact, it stays so quiet that I had to check several times to see if the fan was spinning (and yes, it worked every time). It has many power connectors as well as different connectors for different wires. For example, one of the SATA cables has only 2 connectors…

I've started building a new gaming rig, starting with the PSU. Unfortunately this was not my first purchase. I bought a 650w Corsair PSU and was happy with it - until I decided I wanted a Crossfire setup with two 6950s. Let's just say I would push this power supply to the limit. So I went to Revain to solve my problem. When I looked at popular brands like Corsair, I was put off by the price. At over $200 for a 1000W PSU, I didn't feel it. Cooler Master Silent Pro was a good $30 cheaper. Went…
