"Coolermaster aren't normally a name we'd associate with high-end PSU's...but all of that is about to change as we review their Real Power Pro 1kw unit."

Coolermaster Real Power Pro M1000 Review

 

[Bungral]

Quality review

Liking the inclusing of temp recording.

Seems a top piece of kit.

 

[WC Annihilus]

Personally I would consider no back power switch as a "bad" rather than just "mediocre" cause it's really inconvenient, but meh. Solid review

 

[Nagaru]

A great review and a solid looking PSU. Just one question why was "Fairly cool operation for a 1000w unit." Listed under mediocre?

 

[SuB]

hmm i'll be in the market for a new psu soon i think... this has certainly caught my eye!

will have to go through the other PSU reviews though but i do like the look of this

good review

Im looking for a 1000w PSU so this maybe one to consider although the TT(im goign to get flammed!!) Toughpower looks good and also comes with a 5 year warrenty.

Simply because 'fairly cool' means it's alright, OK, nothing out of the ordinary. Mediocre means... OK - Being of no special quality or type: average, common, commonplace etc... Suppose it (mediocre) does carry a bit of a negative connatation... Meh.

Had it been cool/very/exeptionally cool then 'The Good' had it been hot it would have been 'The Bad'.

Edit: imo

TT toughpowers have seen good reviews whereever i've looked... plus it was used for that 3x 8800 Ultra rig posted in the news, so it's up to anything!

I seem to be the first owner of this PSU here. All of the reviewers comments are well founded. All I have are some clarifications for those looking for a 1000w PSU from a well known company.

1. Yes, Coolermaster is new at PSU's, but they sure found the right engineers to get them started in the right direction.

2. There are no plug in add ons. I sort of liked those, but found the old style of everything coming out of one big hole OK because I have a good case that easily stashes the extras out of sight.

3. IMHO, I will clasify the "coolness" as very good. For crying out loud, the bloody thing puts out 1200 peak, 1000 continous watts! Believe me, your cpu and gpu's will get ten times hotter than this PSU!

4. I have had this beauty for several weeks now. I give it an A-. I agree, with the reviewer that it should really have a hard shut off switch.

This PSU should be taken into serious consideration when looking for your next PSU requiring 1000w.

dude dont revive threads that are 4 years old

 

[Technex]

Old thread.........

The much newer Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold PSUs are what I consider to be the best PSU series around.

 

[Stryker64]

Really old thread, this is from the days when 83% was amazing >.<

 

[alicarve]

I own one lol and had it for about 3 years now but yeah this is old lol
