Cooler Master – a Taiwanese provider of power supplies and hardware cooling solutions – has announced the world’s first 80 Plus Silver Certified high-output power supply unit (PSU). Better known for its coolers and computer cases, the company now makes its mark on the PSU market by intruding the UCP 900W (Ultimate Circuit Protection) power module, rated at 88 percent efficiency.
Utilizing innovative circuit board layout and high-tech components, Cooler Master’s high wattage unit leads the industry in energy efficiency, reaching strict new 80 Plus specifications. The company says that UCP 900W’s unmatched power savvy can be primarily attributed to its first-rated soft-start circuits, a huge amount of solid capacitors, as well as the continuous active clamp forward switching technology, combined with the DC-to-DC VRMs circuit design.
