POWER UP
The MWE Gold - V2 is the next step in the evolution of Cooler Master's entry level 80 PLUS Gold power supply unit line. The original MWE Gold series was created in order to offer a simpler and more affordable Gold rated option in order to help users make the transition from 80 PLUS White and Bronze power supply units more accessible. While there is still demand for White and Bronze units, the global standard has been shifting to Gold. Some countries have even begun to legislate 80 PLUS Gold efficiency as the legal minimum to purchase. This is why bringing affordable options like the MWE Gold is so important to Cooler Master. The MWE Gold - V2 improves upon the original version in the places where users will see the most immediate benefit.
80 PLUS GOLD CERTIFIED
Efficiency has always been one of the most important factors for users when choosing their power supply unit. While there are a range of efficiency options, 80 PLUS Gold has been the ideal choice for the last several years and continues to be seen as the standard for much of the world. The MWE Gold - V2 delivers an 80 PLUS Gold certification, guaranteeing a typical minimum efficiency of 90%.
QUIET COOLING
The MWE Gold - V2 has been upgraded with an HDB fan. This fan bearing delivers quiet and effective cooling with a long lifespan, allowing users to get the most out of their PSU for years to come. A number of additional measures have been applied to the original MWE Gold in order to reduce sound output and ripple noise for a demonstrably quieter user experience.
HIGH TEMPERATURE RESILIENCE
While the original MWE Gold had a maximum operating temperature of only 45 degrees Celsius, the MWE Gold - V2 has improved upon this by delivering an additional 5 degrees to that limit. With this model, users will be able to push their power supply to 50 degrees Celsius safely. Such a high threshold greatly improves what's possible to accomplish with your PSU and your system in general. Overclocking and other high intensity applications become way more accessible when the system's power supply can take the heat.
FLAT BLACK CABLES
The MWE Gold - V2 comes with flat black cables. These cables are easily manipulated, folded, and maneuvered for the most efficient use of space possible, thereby reducing clutter. This more effective use of space within the chassis allows for reduced clutter and better airflow, thereby improving your system's overall cooling and lowering temps. Flat black cables also carry the aesthetic benefit of standing out less and taking up less space when displaying your components within a transparent window case.
