I was linked to this video from Reddit. Very in depth review, with just a bit of wit and humour in there too! You've got another subscriber, I look forward to seeing more.
I am using the MWE 450 variant of this unit. The problem is that, it trips my circuit breaker during turn on. So, I had to add an additional 5 Ohm NTC Thermistor in series with the PSU, and the problem was solved. 450 variant does not have the relay - so I am restricted to use a low value NTC, which is always ON. Why don't they use a higher value NTC, if it has the bypass relay! I also had this issue, with the MSI MPG A750GF - 80 Plus Gold PSU.
I bought Cooler Master MWE 750 Bronze (probably v1) , has some coilwhine in certain scenarios, 12V rail on my pc (overclocked 9700K + 2060 Overclocked) drops only 1.4% to 11.872 V I wouldn't go overkill on it, but it gets the job done for 95 euros, especially when there are not many available PSU's on the market these days. I don't recommend Sharkoon and Gigabyte, had both of them, gold 80+, cables melted.
Coil whine depends on your hardware. It can be severe with some setups and lower in others. Other parts of your system can also do coil whine and make you believe that it is the PSU, with the VGA being one of them. Some PSU-VGA combos can also have increased coil whine.
Thanks a lot for the review, very insightful as always, Also I noticed you mentioned the XPG Pylon as a good alternative but I can seem to find the review, is it coming soon?
Brought this PSU as my old one of 8 years failed, straight off the bat this new one was cheap but it felt like quality was not sacraficed. Even for a full modular PSU they sleeved the cables nicely and its quiet and havent had one issue with it
I was very pleasantly surprised with this low-end unit , until ... we reached the "inrush current" section !!! I don't think i can remember another PSU with this high inrush current !!! Too bad , it could have been a strong alternative for the Corsair CX series , but ..... (maybe another time ).....
@@symbianz1078 It is quite good, the CM unit, actually on par with the CX650. They made quite many improvements to the platform. BUT, if you can find the CX650 at the same price, yes prefer it.

Great review. Weird for the low subs and views. Anyway keep up the good works. And review more budget psu as there more buyer who wants to find the best psu with lowest price.
Thank you, will do! Although all of our English content is now posted at Hardware Busters International. The current channel is only for Greek reviews.
I've found some similar PSU to MWE Bronze V2 in my country like Corsair CV650, Asus TUF Gaming 650W Bronze, MSI MAG A650BN. In your opinion which is best?
Hi Sir, been watching your videos esp in the Gigabyte review PSU since I have it model P550B dont have a choice at that time (Pandemic) and It was late that I saw your review, I will be replacing the Gigabyte P550B, and need help choosing MWE 650 Bronze from Cooler master, Huntkey K650 Mvp Gold Power modular or the Segotep GM750W Full Modular 80 Plus Gold. Please advice. Thank you so much!
Hello Mr. Aris Mpitziopoulos, just have question about MWE Bronze V2 750Watt MPE-7501-ACABW. Do you have any experience with this PSU? it is similar in quality as 650Watt you tested? Thanks very much for the answer. Have great day!
very good review! what differences with the elite line V4 there are many reviews of the v3 and v2 but not of the V4. I would like to know if they are the same as the wme and the V4 line. I know the V4 is only 80 plus white but in the rest of the features?
Would you recommend this PSU MWE 650 Bronze V2 (model number ACAAB) or the Seasonic B12 BC-650 / Corsair CV 650? They similarly priced. Nice review by the way, very detailed.
Do you know anything about this model MPE-6501-ACABW-BUK? I'm buying it here in the middle east but I assume it's a UK version. The model number looks different than the 2 you mentioned. Great video, thanks for the indepth info

Hi! It is decent, this PSU, and it uses a modern platform. Four GPUs with a weak CPU could be ok, at a normal room temperature. If it is above 30 degrees Celsius, you should frequently check the PCIe cables.

Hello, great video ! What would you recommend me for ryzen 5600x and 3060ti ?. Im from Argentina and stock is so poor right now. I can get these options: -EVGA 700W 80 PLUS BRONZE BR -Gigabyte GP-P750GM 750w 80 gold - 750w Bronze 80 Plus Cooler Master Mwe V2
Hello nice vid! I have a question, I'm from argentina I want to build a: Intel 10100f 16gb ram 3200mhz cl16 Hm410 I investigated in forums and here the PSU are very bad the "best" opción here are: Redragon 500w Gigabyte p450b Aereocool (Cyclon-KCAS) Corsair Cv450 and Vs450 Coolermaster mwe 550w bronze v2 (more expensive than other options) And very last option it's a used corsair cx450 Wich it's the best in your opinion, it's worth to spend more on the coolermaster mwe v2 or i just buy one of the other options?
I would go with the Coolermaster mwe 550w bronze v2 as the first option. Second one either the CV450 or VS450. Third, the CX450 IF it is in good operating condition.
@@HardwareBustersGR what about the coil whine problem? Some people said in the Linustechtips psu tierlist that the mwe v2 model will have this issue. What do you say? thank you
@@HardwareBustersGR I take the opportunity to ask you a question: What do you think about the gamemax vp series? They look competitive in the price range. I'll get the 700w MWE V2, a 650w thermaltake bx1 or and vp-700/800 from GM. They are the 3 possibilities on my budget. (My build: 3700x + 3060ti or 3070. I don't have the vga yet).

@@lucasenfoco I haven't tested this Gamemax unit yet so I cannot have an opinion. The Thermaltake BX1 I think I have one for review. From these units only the 700 MWE V2 I have tested, unfortunately.
Deepcool pm650d vs cooler master mwe 650 v2 230v vs Asus tuf 550b I am highly confused.. Please suggest me best psu in term of Quality, reliability and performance
@@HardwareBustersGR my whole system require around 400w only... Asus tuf 550b is good in term of Quality and for longer run comparing with other 2 psu? And is this compatible with 12gen and b660 mobo Thanks for your quick reply
What would be a good substitute for the MWE v2 in the same price range? The Corsair CX? Where did you get the ripple measurements from? I looked up some reviews and the ripple looked good.
Hello, Aris. I think in this review you have first version of mwe bronze (non v2 bronze version). You can ask me why i said this? First, main cap is elite. I saw pictures of another psu's with mpe-xxxx-acaab label and they have capxcon as main cap. But maybe CM just replace elite to capxcon. Second at time 4:48 you can see red color element with sealant (i dont know how it named), this is third element from top to bottom from main cap side (first element is main cap, second ..., and our red target with sealant). On pictures of another psu's this is gray element with cuboid shape. Maybe exist and others differences but i can't cleary said what those elements are. Sorry for my bad english.
Finding electronic parts is super difficult during this period, so many brands change the parts they used with whatever they can find. This is not good, I know, but it is the only option to keep the production going.
Great video I think I'll get this one in my first PC build. I'll pair it with a Ryzen 5 3600 and the best graphics card I could find in the next month.
I'm Brazilian and I follow some of your videos, I didn't understand the language of the video very much but I could see your review, I bought it to hold an rtx 3060 and an i5 10400, am I safe?
Hi Aris, I hope you are reading this. Did you do any protection testing on this unit? You said briefly that you "couldn't get any reading" I mean I am confused, what does that mean? Do you mean that it is just that the OCP is too high, but why weren't you able to "read" it? Or do you mean that the protection is completely malfunctioning and you weren't able to test anything? Please clarify! I want to recommend this PSU to others but I need to get that out of the way first...
Protection Features: All basic protection features are present, including OTP. No MOV. It has an NTC thermistor and a bypass relay. OCP needs tuning. OCP triggering points were high in my sample. This is the case in most PSUs I have seen so far.
@@HardwareBustersGR So I assume every protection feature that you usually test (OCP, OPP, OTP, and SCP) was tested on this PSU and there were no problem?
@@HardwareBustersGR Thank you! so it means that its quiter compared to the unit that you have right? is the 550w and 650w has the same components? unlike the corsair CV series, where 550watts is group reg and 650watts is dc to dc
Greetings!! I got the option to choose between the eu and the non eu version.Should i go with the non eu version?i Bulkier caps or more rugged structure maybe becouse the wider range of voltage and amp?
Hi! I have the differences in the video description as well. Differences with V2 - Full Range: MPE-6501-ACAAW. This seems to be the version sold outside of Europe. The main difference I could spot was the different fan speed profiles. The non-EU version also has a different cable configuration with short ATX and EPS and only a single EPS, while the EU version has two EPS connectors. So if you want 2x EPS go with the EU version.
i5 8600(no k). rtx 2060 16 gigs ram. sata ssd 1tb hdd. is this. ok. for thia build. i had vs 650 which i used for 4 years. it is giving. weird fan noise. too loud.

Why so huge voltage drops on 3.3v mobo rail and on gpu vrm voltage 11.641v with low 150-160 watts load? In cybenetics test xpg pylon 650 dont have huge drop on 3.3v rail. But for my psu, if suggest that for every 150w loads 3.3v rail drops on 0.02 v then we got 3.285v 0w
@@koreanfanofficial4667 I don't have a clue how this works, so I cannot be sure whether is the PSU's fault. That said, the Pylon 650 is a good PSU so you don't need to worry. And I am not sure if this Asus surge protection does anything of importance anyway. Your PSU already has a MOV inside, which protects against surges.

I have a question, I'm from argentina
I want to build a:
Intel 10100f
16gb ram 3200mhz cl16
Hm410
I investigated in forums and here the PSU are very bad the "best" opción here are:
Redragon 500w
Gigabyte p450b
Aereocool (Cyclon-KCAS)
Corsair Cv450 and Vs450
Coolermaster mwe 550w bronze v2 (more expensive than other options)
And very last option it's a used corsair cx450
Wich it's the best in your opinion, it's worth to spend more on the coolermaster mwe v2 or i just buy one of the other options?
I would go with the Coolermaster mwe 550w bronze v2 as the first option. Second one either the CV450 or VS450. Third, the CX450 IF it is in good operating condition.
@@HardwareBustersGR if the cx450 were new it would be a better option than the coolermaster mwe v2?
I was thinking to buy this PSU in order to use it on a 3700x and a 3060ti setup. It is ok? Thanks
Yes it will be ok. They must have improved OCP in the new production units. The one I tested was more than a year old.
@@HardwareBustersGR what about the coil whine problem? Some people said in the Linustechtips psu tierlist that the mwe v2 model will have this issue. What do you say? thank you
@@lucasenfoco Yes I point this out in the cons. My sample has a bit of coil whine.
@@HardwareBustersGR I take the opportunity to ask you a question: What do you think about the gamemax vp series? They look competitive in the price range. I'll get the 700w MWE V2, a 650w thermaltake bx1 or and vp-700/800 from GM.
They are the 3 possibilities on my budget.
(My build: 3700x + 3060ti or 3070. I don't have the vga yet).
Have a nice day and thank you so much for your time, I really appreciate it.
@@lucasenfoco I haven't tested this Gamemax unit yet so I cannot have an opinion. The Thermaltake BX1 I think I have one for review. From these units only the 700 MWE V2 I have tested, unfortunately.
Deepcool pm650d vs cooler master mwe 650 v2 230v vs Asus tuf 550b
I am highly confused.. Please suggest me best psu in term of Quality, reliability and performance
I would say the TUF550b if you don't need 650W, else get the Cooler Master (if you DO need 650W).
@@HardwareBustersGR my whole system require around 400w only...
Asus tuf 550b is good in term of Quality and for longer run comparing with other 2 psu?
And is this compatible with 12gen and b660 mobo
Thanks for your quick reply
What would be a good substitute for the MWE v2 in the same price range? The Corsair CX? Where did you get the ripple measurements from? I looked up some reviews and the ripple looked good.
CX is very good, yes. I conduct my own measurements in everything.
Thx for the review ,would that work on a ryzen 5 3400g and rx 580 or gtx 1650 super .
Yes it will
@@HardwareBustersGR thx for the reply🖤
Hello, Aris. I think in this review you have first version of mwe bronze (non v2 bronze version). You can ask me why i said this? First, main cap is elite. I saw pictures of another psu's with mpe-xxxx-acaab label and they have capxcon as main cap. But maybe CM just replace elite to capxcon. Second at time 4:48 you can see red color element with sealant (i dont know how it named), this is third element from top to bottom from main cap side (first element is main cap, second ..., and our red target with sealant). On pictures of another psu's this is gray element with cuboid shape. Maybe exist and others differences but i can't cleary said what those elements are. Sorry for my bad english.
Finding electronic parts is super difficult during this period, so many brands change the parts they used with whatever they can find. This is not good, I know, but it is the only option to keep the production going.
ok
Great video I think I'll get this one in my first PC build. I'll pair it with a Ryzen 5 3600 and the best graphics card I could find in the next month.
What do you have to say for psu is it good ??
how about the 550w bronze v2 ? is it still using Elite caps? i'm ok with caps outside of japan like Elite, Samxon or Teapo. They are pretty good
Elite caps are good
I'm Brazilian and I follow some of your videos, I didn't understand the language of the video very much but I could see your review, I bought it to hold an rtx 3060 and an i5 10400, am I safe?
Hi! Yes, you won't have a problem.
@@HardwareBustersGR thank you!
so have coolermaster seen ur video and made improvements?
They do watch my videos and read my reports, yes.
Can you pleaaase tell me if this one is good enough for a rtx3080ti?
I wouldn't get a 650W PSU for a 3080Ti. I would go with a good 850W one, e.g. Corsair RM850x.
Hi Aris, I hope you are reading this. Did you do any protection testing on this unit? You said briefly that you "couldn't get any reading" I mean I am confused, what does that mean? Do you mean that it is just that the OCP is too high, but why weren't you able to "read" it? Or do you mean that the protection is completely malfunctioning and you weren't able to test anything? Please clarify! I want to recommend this PSU to others but I need to get that out of the way first...
Protection Features: All basic protection features are present, including OTP. No MOV. It has an NTC thermistor and a bypass relay. OCP needs tuning.
OCP triggering points were high in my sample. This is the case in most PSUs I have seen so far.
@@HardwareBustersGR So I assume every protection feature that you usually test (OCP, OPP, OTP, and SCP) was tested on this PSU and there were no problem?
@@unrefillable As I write above, only OCP needs tuning.
@@HardwareBustersGR OK, gotcha
Do you think the 750 version of this is a good psu to pair with a 3070?
What are other good budget alternatives?
It is a good platform yes, and 750W are enough for a 3070-potent CPU combo.
Okay thanks also is the graphics card that i mentioned compatible with this motherboard (GIGABYTE GA-B75M-D3H)
Amazing review! Just wondering if it would work with a Ryzen 7 3600x and a 3060ti? Saw that you're still responding so I thought I'd give it a shot
Yes it will be ok, 3600x isn't a power hog :)
Any chance of looking at the current post-2020 revision? It seems to address a lot of the low-load ripple problems you found with this one.
Yes I will do this at some point.
I bought this power supply today.how do i know i have the current post 2020 revision? Pls reply pls
Hello what is lambda standard? I saw in MWE 550watts Bronze V2 that it has a -A Lambda rating instead of S+
It is its noise rating, provided by Cybenetics. Check here: www.cybenetics.com/index.php?option=lambda-(psus)
@@HardwareBustersGR Thank you! so it means that its quiter compared to the unit that you have right? is the 550w and 650w has the same components? unlike the corsair CV series, where 550watts is group reg and 650watts is dc to dc
@@janbenedictcruz7334 The MWE Bronze use the same platform.
This PSU or FSP Hydro M PRO 700W? Same price...
Cooler Master
very good review !! what version is better ? ACAAB OR ACAAW
I don't remember now the differences between these versions. The report for this PSU and its serial number are listed on Cybenetics.
Please help: this vs XPG paylon 650B? both available on same price
CM I could say, more modern platform.
Im looking for a midrange psu. Corsair CV650 or this psu is better?
I would say the cooler master
Greetings!!
I got the option to choose between the eu and the non eu version.Should i go with the non eu version?i Bulkier caps or more rugged structure maybe becouse the wider range of voltage and amp?
Hi! I have the differences in the video description as well.
Differences with V2 - Full Range: MPE-6501-ACAAW. This seems to be the version sold outside of Europe. The main difference I could spot was the different fan speed profiles.
The non-EU version also has a different cable configuration with short ATX and EPS and only a single EPS, while the EU version has two EPS connectors.
So if you want 2x EPS go with the EU version.
@@HardwareBustersGR Thank You very much!That was a super fast reply!
Is Adata XPG PYLON a good PSU..I can't seem to find any reviews on it.?
Look at the Cybenetics database. Yes they are good PSUs for their money
@@HardwareBustersGR Ok, Thanks for reply..I subscribed to your great channel..Happy New Year.
Hi between the cooler master mwe 650 v2 80 plus bronze and the gigabyte gp-p650b 650w 80plus bronze
Which is the best option
Tks
Cooler Master, stay away from GBT PSUs.
i5 8600(no k). rtx 2060 16 gigs ram. sata ssd 1tb hdd. is this. ok. for thia build. i had vs 650 which i used for 4 years. it is giving. weird fan noise. too loud.
Yes, this one will be ok
Great Video ,thank you so much.
Welcome!
are you recommending this and how is that psu's sound
It is a decent platform. The PSU is noisy. If you want something silent you must go to a higher efficiency unit
its 75 bucks here in Philippines and 66bucks for 550w
my optical drive has a atx 4-pin power connector [molex] , i guess i can connect it to the 4-pin molex of that powersupplie right?
Yes.
@@HardwareBustersGR oke, thanks alot👍👍
Hi Sir,
Pls help me to choose between MWE650 AND CX650
If you mean the CX650 and not the CX650M, I would go for the CX650, else the MWE
Thanks for the prompt reply sir.
Actually only cx650 F available.
Hello sir,I already have this psu with 6600 xt and ryzen 5800 x, I would love to upgrade my gpu to 6800 xt, should I also get a new psu?
sir which one is better msi a650 bronze or this psu cooler master ?
I don't remember the MSI PSU, but the Cooler Master MWE 650 uses a modern platform and it is quite good.
Hello, Aris. I have a problem with new psu xpg pylon 650w:
octt power test 5 min
mobo 12v rail - 11.945v
mobo 3.3v rail - 3.265v ??? strange
mobo 5v rail - 5.010v
mobo 3VSB - 5.5v ??? strange
gpu vrm voltage in 11.641v
gpu vrm power out 72.656w
gpu chip power 61.89w
cpu power 94w
No throttling detected, full clock cpu and gpu.
So total power about 150w-160w and with 160w loads 3.3v rail drops from 3.285v(zero load) to 3.265v and gpu vrm voltage in drops from 11.92v(zero load) to 11.641v.
Why so huge voltage drops on 3.3v mobo rail and on gpu vrm voltage 11.641v with low 150-160 watts load?
In cybenetics test xpg pylon 650 dont have huge drop on 3.3v rail. But for my psu, if suggest that for every 150w loads 3.3v rail drops on 0.02 v then we got
3.285v 0w
Don’t take into account the main board volt sensors. They are inaccurate
@@HardwareBustersGR but what about asus anti surge message. With old psu i dont have this message.
@@koreanfanofficial4667 I don't have a clue how this works, so I cannot be sure whether is the PSU's fault. That said, the Pylon 650 is a good PSU so you don't need to worry. And I am not sure if this Asus surge protection does anything of importance anyway. Your PSU already has a MOV inside, which protects against surges.
@@HardwareBustersGR ok
I am planning on buying a Palit RTX 3060 12gb version does this psu have 8 pin connector?
Yes, it has.
plz can you tell wish is better
this psu with 650 w
or
asus tuf gaming 550w bronze
my psu just got 💥and i have to buy a new one so what should i get ♥️
This one.
We have a hell lot of MWE here as used parts lol
how many stars would you give to this psu (I mean, like you do in your tom's hardware reviews)?
Ι hate stars, please look at the overall performance graph and my epilogue.
im confused between this and the cv 550 bronze which one is better for mid-tier rig ?
The Cooler Master unit uses a better platform
MWE 550W BRONZE V2 or PYLON 450W? (Rtx2060)
MWE 550W Bronze V2
This CM mwe 650w bronze v2 or the XPG pylon 650w bronze at the same price ? Help
Tough choice. I would select the MWE because it has a more capable platform
I had a tt lite power 650 watt power supply had to take it out and return it after 687 crashes mid game with my rx 5700xt and i7 10700, you think this one will handle my build?
Yes it shouldn’t have any problems although I would go with a 750W PSU to have more headroom
@@HardwareBustersGR 100% I'm getting the 750 watt version, DAMN AMD
@@ddnn32325 Did you get the mwe bronze v2 750w? If you did then is it good?
@@valid6532 i didnt get it
@@ddnn32325 what did you end up getting after all?
Hii
I have read that the power factor of these newer psu is between 0.96 - 0.99, in the video description, you described the average power factor rated as "bottom low", in numbers, how much would that be? 0.96, 0.97?
PLS help
Hi. Please check on the Cybenetics PSU database for exact info on the power factor readings on these ones, and not only.

Hello sir, can I Run 6600xt and ryzen 5800 x on this?
Yes, you can!
Someting on the HYPER 80+ Pro ?
Nope, don't have it sorry.
Do you think the gold rated version of this psu is better?
Yes it is definitely better
i have mwe 750w bronze and my gpu is rtx 3080 and Ryzen 7 5800x, the power supply fan gets toooooo loud while gaming
750W Bronze gets highly stressed with the 3080. You should change PSU and get a more efficient one, 750W or even better 850W.
@@HardwareBustersGR thanks for the reply,, one more question please, do you think i really need to replace the psu? if for the fan noise only i can tolerate it coz the aircon is always on and it's louder than the pc anyways. other than the fan it really works fine, i even overclocked the gpub to test it and it was drawing like 380w just fine
is Ryzen 5700x + rx 7800 xt good with this ?
No, you should go for a stronger and at least Gold efficiency PSU.
This or Sharkoon WPM Gold Zero 550W?
Ι haven't tested any Sharkoon PSU in the last years, so I cannot say if it is good or not.
How about the Cooler Master MWE V2 550w?
It uses the same platform, so it will be ok.
thanks to clear my doubt I found that source of economic power I was not sure about buying it because I want to put it with EVGA GEFORCE RTX 2060 and the ryzen 5 3600
Hi can this psu be okay for rtx 4070 super?
it depends on the processor.
@@HardwareBustersGR @HardwareBustersGR thanks for the reply.. i have a ryzen 7 5700x tdp is set to 75. I also plan on undervolting the 4070 super.
Motherboard pcie slot gives 75w and the psu pci-e 6+2 connector gives 150w = total of 225w. The 4070 super's tdp is 220w. Theoretically i can use the daisychained pci-e 6+2 to 12vhpwr pin, right?
mwe white v2 500w 45 euro?
It is a good deal. With the recent price increases, you cannot find anything good below 50 euros.

why is the eu 230v version on C tier while the non eu one at B tho?
Don't do tiers, sorry, I do overall performance.

Is this compatible with my asus h81m-d motherboard?
Yes
do you think CM MWE 550 Bronze V2 is enough to run i7 11700kf and rtx 3060 ?
I would go for the 650W model, to have higher efficiency at load and not stress the PSU much,
@@HardwareBustersGR thank you
