• Two 6+2 pin PCI-e connectors for multiple graphic card set up

• Energy efficient design that meats 80 Plus requirements

• Single +12V rail provides more power for over-clockers

• Compliant with Intel standard Intel ATX12V V2.3 & SSI EPS 12V V2.91

• Green power design that meets energy star, blue angel requirements

• Super silent operation with intelligent 135mm fan speed control

• Protection: OVP / UVP / OCP / OPP /OTP / SCP / OLP

• High Power Density (150*150*86 mm)

• High reliability (MTBF > 100,000 hrs)

• Copper + aluminum heat sink design which results in more efficient heat transfer and dissipation.

• Flat cable design for easier cable arrangement

The specifications and feature set are certainly impressive. With a maximum output of 720W and a typical efficiency exceeding 85%, the Silent Pro delivers the goods through a single 40A 12V rail. Even with its 135mm cooling fan, the Silent Pro is relatively compact for use in smaller cases and the flat, modular cables will be easier to route and minimize airflow restriction.

 

PRODUCT COMPOSITION

The packaging is different than most PSU boxes we've seen in the past, but it's what's inside that counts.

Along with the power supply, Cooler Master includes the flat modular cables, manuals on both paper and disk, black mounting screws, a warranty card and two silicone anti-vibration gaskets. Of course, the power cord is also included.
