Cooler Master Reveals Two New Silent Pro 80+ Gold PSUs

Cooler Master has launched two new Silent Pro Gold power supplies, both priced at a budget level. The two units are known as the RS-450-80GA and the RS-550-80GA, and as their names indicate, they can push out up to 450 W and 550 W, respectively. They are built using a single 12 V rail that can push out up to 35 A for the 450 W unit and 42 A for the 550 W unit -- plenty for a light gaming PC or an efficient office PC.

Both the units feature one 24-pin ATX connector, one 8-pin EPS connector, two 6+2 pin PCIe power connectors, six SATA power connectors, as well as three MOLEX power connectors and a floppy power connector. Cabling is non-modular.

The Silent Pro Gold 450 W carries an MSRP price of $59.99, whereas the Silent Pro Gold 550 W is priced at $69.99. Both of the new Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold PSUs should already be available through select retail channels.

    Nice. There really aren't that many 80+ Gold PSU's at that wattage. I would like to see Cooler Master gain a good reputation, I'm tired of recommending Seasonic and XFX lol.

    I believe FSP is the OEM for these model whereas Enhance Electronics is the OEM for the 600W+ models.

    Also, these are great MSRPs for gold rated models.

    Cabling is not fully modular, only partially.

    @ N.Broekhuijsen: According the pictures up on Cooler Master's site, these are non-modular PSUs. Do you have different information?

    From the review I saw of the 550W model that was published two days ago it is a non-modular mess of cables.
