First Up: Cooler Master Silent Pro 500 Watt

by

The Silent Pro series from Cooler Master consists of three models ranging from 500 watts to 700 watts. For our test, Cooler Master sent its 500 watt offering.

Unlike competing PSUs, the Silent Pro power supplies includes its own form of cable management—you’ll immediately notice the flat black cables, which are much easier to tuck out of the way than the thinker, rounded bundles typical of high-end PSUs.

At first glance, the cables appear unexciting, but they offer tremendous advantages: to begin, the cords are extremely flexible and allow you to connect devices without putting tension on the cords, which would then also put pressure on the ports. This innovation eliminates the common concern about SATA power connectors when attaching hard drives using power supplies with stiff cords.

I'm to old to buy a product named "Dragon Force"!

The name makes my ears ring and it simply sounds to much like the names of crap Chinese electronics. It makes me question the long term quality.

Give me Antec, Enermax or another brand name.

It’s called that way because after two years it will blow up in your face and spit fire.
