The Cooler Master MWE Gold 850W V3 computer power supply is designed to power high-performance ATX computer builds. It provides a total power output of 850W with a high efficiency of 90%, confirmed by its 80 PLUS Gold certification, contributing to lower electricity consumption and less waste heat. With full support for the ATX 3.1 standard, the power supply reliably powers modern graphics cards and processors that require the ability to handle sudden current surges. Its non-modular design with fixed cabling offers all the necessary connectors for a complete build. A 120mm fan takes care of maintaining operating temperatures.
When choosing a suitable PC power supply, the key parameter besides the form factor is its power output. This indicates the maximum number of Watts the power supply can continuously deliver to the components in the computer. It is advisable to use a web calculator to determine the optimal power output based on your chosen components.
The ATX 3.1 specification prepares the power supply for high energy demands and significant voltage fluctuations typical of today's high-performance components. Its design can briefly handle power spikes of up to 200% of its rated power. This capability effectively covers the sudden power draws generated by graphics cards and processors under full load, contributing to overall system stability without unexpected restarts.
The power supply is equipped with a native 16-pin 12V-2x6 connector that delivers power directly, without the need for adapters. The fixed, non-modular cabling also offers a complete set of connectors for a computer build, including five PCI-E 6+2pin connectors, one CPU 4+4pin connector, and six SATA connectors. This allows you to connect all standard components, from the motherboard to storage devices.
A comprehensive set of six protection circuits ensures the safe operation of connected components: over-voltage protection, under-voltage protection, over-current protection, overload protection, short-circuit protection, and over-temperature protection. A 120mm fan with smooth speed control handles efficient heat dissipation by adapting to the current load. This maintains a low noise level during normal work and provides sufficient cooling during high-performance tasks.
The 80 Plus certification was created to objectively evaluate the efficiency of computer power supplies. This provides users with a simple and clear comparison of different models. In the European market (where a 230V voltage is used), there are six levels of 80 Plus certification with set requirements for computer power supplies. Higher energy efficiency primarily means lower energy consumption.
