Cooler Master Ultimate Series 700W PSU Review

Cooler Masterhas a UCP series is meant for powering high-end system setups with multiple nVidia SLI graphic card setups with power to spare. These power supplies were made with circuit protection in mind to prolong the life-time of the power supply and protect your PC Components.

The soft-start circuitry limits inrush currents and the usage of quality components such as solid Japanese capacitors and intelligent fan control scream quality and performance.

The allocation of the AMPS / Wattage is as follows:

The UCP 700W provides 133W across the +3.3V and +5V rails and divides the +12V(1-4) into four 19A rails for a total of 624W. This is enough power for that PC Gamer looking to setup a multi-GPU nVidia SLI setup for example. Thanks to the high efficiency ratings, you can feel confident the power is delivered consistently and reliably when you need.

Conclusions:
One of the best rated PSU's on the market today , Cooler Master delivers a quality product, rated and certified for confidence and backed up with 5 years of warranty its not surprising this is a rugged tough PSU. Though it does not have a modular design for the output cables making it a little messy to contain and hide in your case if thats your thing. Overall the design and looks are of high quality which compliment its power efficiency and energy saving consumption which in my books is all you really need in a performance gaming rig.
