Man how are those PSU tester and laptop still running so well to this day; they are older than our fitness memories now and we've grown all grumpy and gray. Good to see them back 🙂 What a PSU though.. I have my AX1200 retired on the shelf after long years of service and this thing is half its size, more powerful in delivery, and more efficient. But man the amount of that ripple is mad at high loads but people should also consider not pushing their parts so far as well. It's accepted within the IT industry that 30-70% load is the sweet range for operation where all components are at their happiest. And at 550w the ripple was acceptable, high but acceptable for long endurance - and that's the load of a 250w CPU + 300w GPU, which is about as good as a small build that necessitate such a small PSU can cool anyway 🙂 Lovely to see this amount of generational progress once in a while.
Awesome video. Not worrying about how a SFF PSU would look in a standard ATX case ; if you wanted to use this PSU in place of a full size ATX PSU for a higher end build - your system wouldn't be at risk of any type of electrical issues?
Nice to see the SunMoon again. Has it paid for itself yet? 🤣 Says someone who regularly buys stuff only to next see it five years later in a clear out! 😭 I like the shield over that cap; as someone who's built PSUs in the past it is easy to get nonchalant taking them apart or putting them together and have the stored charge throw you across the room. Folks, take care tinkering and make sure to discharge big caps before you do! As a Coolermaster fan, I endorse this video!... this PSU will look good and silly in a C700M/P Cosmos!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Cheers, Tom, and all the best for Yule and New Year.
ATX PSU's have been so large because it is the ATX standard (which derived from the AT standard), as time has gone on the amount of empty space inside the PSU case has increase so I think a smaller, denser unit is most welcomed.
yes thank you the v 1300 was in my list of 3 PSU's ive been weighing up ( currently have a corsair hx1000 paired with 7800x3d /7900xtx works perfectly ) the other 2 was the MSI Ai1300p and the Seasonic vertex px 1200 but are smaller ATX psu's 160mm long .. for the future atx 3.0 / 3.1 is almost a must but having the extra wattage in a smaller form factor is very appealing for extra versatility for next gen GPU's !!
Why did you not include the connectors in your measurement. You are holding the PSU by it so it is at least 10-15mm. I am disappointed in this inaccuracy or was it an editorial decision by Coolermaster?
You say at the beginning of the video that you were explaining about the power rating due to new builders, etc, but you then go on to disassemble the power supply without warning that is highly dangerous to do so, at least without knowing what you are doing and even suggest taking it apart, swapping fans, etc🤦🏻♂️
An over specced/ higher wattage PSU CAN offer 2 advantages, 1) you can land at a better spot on it's efficiency curve depending on your system, but more importantly for me- 2) you can keep the fan spinning slower, or even stay low enough to NOT engage the fan at all on hybrid models... I wish Seasonic released their higher wattage TX Models sooner, I got the 1000W and it's great, but it goes back and forth between 0-rpm fan mode, and spinning the fan pretty often under load, and when the fan turns on it's quite loud for the first moment, so I have to turn off the hybrid mode to leave the fan spinning, which leaves it fairly quiet, but I'd prefer to leave the fan off when I don't need it, but turning it on is just too annoying.
Can I ask, what kind of system was this that made the 1000W's fans start/stop all the time? I would have thought that unless it's a 14900k with a 4090 that they'd be off most of the time.
@@intermarer9145 the fans kick on at 40-60% load, maybe less in warm conditions, so no, you absolutely do NOT need super powerful hardware for the fans to kick on. But it’s an i7 6850k, and a 5700XT, all water cooled. This happens under gaming loads.
I got the v1100W, the fan is so loud.. it spine non stop, im gonna change to Thermaltake Toughpower SFX 1000W and hopefully getting rid of that stupid fan noise
so its oem is sysgration? oh I miss the realhardtechx psu list if I remember sysgration make some server psu but don't have there own DIY line. is it a server psu with cooler master backplate in a SFX box or all CM design 1000W+ OEM in the SFX game are Great Wall, sysgration SFX-l Enhance Electronics, Great Wall, SFX-L Wide .. The Leadex V P130X not perfect with iffy 3.3 and some 20AWG gauges no clear winner, still down to what works best with your case lay out
i hope the white version will release because i am building a white PC , damn this PSU will gave me some heade room inside the case .. but all i need is a white vesion>> please Cooler master if you reade my comment reliese a white version
Large capacitors are not so good at smoothing small quick changes. They can absorb a lot of energy so are great for Big spikes but not small ones and vice versa. Ideally you want a mix of both.
Those watching should Never ever take apart a PSU and never ever touch a capacitor because those can kill. Only Skilled Professionals should take one apart.
yes mommy as it was normal thing before DIY PSU, to open up the case psu to change the cylinder fuse. BUT H&S her is as right, as his post is annoying 😛
I’ve taken loads apart and still here. Just be sensible. Don’t open one during or immediately after operation. Ensure you’ve discharged it. It’s not rocket science.

Thank you, Tom, for going into the details on all of your reviews!
Awesome video. Not worrying about how a SFF PSU would look in a standard ATX case ; if you wanted to use this PSU in place of a full size ATX PSU for a higher end build - your system wouldn't be at risk of any type of electrical issues?
The human eye can't see more than 1000w in the US. 120V strikes again.
Good on ya Guv, nice to see another PSU review!

So the ripple is the worst out of all you have tested, but is it anything to worry about? Would you ever notice this in a computer?
Cool Coolermaster!
I will be really excited when I see ATX12vo or ATX 3.1 PSU's
It's honestly incredible how good the Corsair PSUs are for how actually affordable they are than the competition.
Please review the Cooler Master V Platium V2 1600W Power Supply!. Thanks in advance.
Side note, the caps in power supplies can hold an astonishing amount of energy, please don't go poking them with your bare finger...
Loved it! Thanks.

I agree, as long as thermal density is taken into consideration in the design.

I just wish they came with more flexible cables. The cables are super stiff.
Why did you not include the connectors in your measurement. You are holding the PSU by it so it is at least 10-15mm. I am disappointed in this inaccuracy or was it an editorial decision by Coolermaster?
Considering this for a Cerberus build I'm considering doing
I think if you wait till arrowlake you can do the undervolt video for both raptor lake and arrowlake together. it's only 6 months away.
Great video

My 1600 p2 is still going strong and I got it used for $100 lol
Can only guess the 10yr warranty meant 24/7 at 100% capacity. These don't die.
I did a SFX build once hated the small space will never do another 1 I like my 5000D that's just heaven to build in

@@PAPO1990 140W and 225W TDP for those two. So it doesn't take the most crazy hardware to make the fans spin up. Thanks for taking the time to reply!
15:45 lol i remember u got heat for that a long time ago

is it a server psu with cooler master backplate in a SFX box or all CM design

They have 10 year warranties because that's the standard for the high end PSU's. I'm not sure I've ever seen a 12 year one in the consumer market.
i hope the white version will release because i am building a white PC , damn this PSU will gave me some heade room inside the case .. but all i need is a white vesion>> please Cooler master if you reade my comment reliese a white version

good video.
What a beaut 🧐
That's tiny for that kind of output
I guess size doesn't matter anymore 😅
Shame about the stupidly high price.
A capacitor is a series of tubes
Those watching should Never ever take apart a PSU and never ever touch a capacitor because those can kill.
Only Skilled Professionals should take one apart.
yes mommy
as it was normal thing before DIY PSU, to open up the case psu to change the cylinder fuse.
BUT H&S her is as right, as his post is annoying
😛

Yeah been killed twice....
do not buy this psu. it has coil whine and the fan is 100 or 0. nothing inbetween
Kinda wish people would stop promoting cable 'sell dodgy angled adapter' mod products
