Cooler Master MWE Gold 550 Full Modular Power Supply (80 PLUS Gold)

Key Highlights of the Cooler Master MWE Gold 550W PSU ​1. 80 PLUS Gold Certified Efficiency ​What it means: This certification guarantees that the PSU is at least 87% efficient at 20% load, 90% at 50% load, and 87% at 100% load. In simple terms, it converts a high percentage of the electricity it draws from the wall into usable power for your components, with less energy wasted as heat. ​Benefit to you: This results in lower electricity bills, less heat inside your computer case (leading to better cooling), and a more stable, reliable power supply to your components. ​2. Full Modular Design ​What it means: Unlike non-modular or semi-modular PSUs, this one has no permanent cables attached. You only plug in the cables you actually need for your components. ​Benefit to you: This is a huge advantage for PC builders. It drastically reduces cable clutter inside the case, leading to a much cleaner build and improved airflow. Better airflow helps all your components run cooler. ​3. Quiet Operation ​What it means: The PSU features a 120mm Silencio fan with a durable Loop Dynamic Bearing (LDB). This fan is designed to be quiet, especially at lower loads. ​Benefit to you: A quieter PC. The fan is less likely to produce a distracting whirring noise, which is great for quiet builds or for use in a living room PC. ​4. High-Quality Components & Safety Protections ​What it means: The PSU uses high-quality Japanese capacitors and other durable components. It also includes multiple built-in safety features. ​Benefit to you: These features ensure the longevity of the PSU itself and, more importantly, protect your expensive components (like your motherboard, CPU, and GPU) from a range of electrical issues such as: ​OVP (Over Voltage Protection) ​UVP (Under Voltage Protection) ​SCP (Short Circuit Protection) ​OCP (Over Current Protection) ​OPP (Over Power Protection) ​OTP (Over Temperature Protection) ​5. Single +12V Rail ​What it means: The PSU delivers all of its 550W on a single, powerful +12V rail. ​Benefit to you: This simplifies the power delivery and makes it highly compatible with modern high-power GPUs that can draw a lot of current from a single source. It's a robust design for powering today's graphics cards and CPUs.
