Cooler Master UCP 1100W power supply review @ Elite Bastards

[news 28]

 

Hi everyone,

 

Cooler Master have been pretty busy on the power supply front in recent months; after recently taking a look at one of their Silent Pro offerings, today we examine the flagship offering from their new UCP (Ultimate Circuit Protection) range. As well as 700 and 900 Watt models, this new range is headed up by the subject of today's review, which offers a massive output of 1100 Watts. Of course, this kind of power is beyond the needs of all but the most powerful of systems, but how does this particular offering fare? We take a look.

 

 

Cooler Master UCP 1100W power supply review

 

"As you've probably guessed by now, the UCP 1100W is a 1100 Watt power supply with a maximum output of 1320 Watts, which conforms to the 80 Plus Silver efficiency standard, with an efficiency rating of 89.05% at 50% load and 86.99% on average, making it one of the first PSUs in this particular power range to gain such certification.

 

With all of that power at its disposal, you'd expect to see it paired up with a lot of connectivity cabling-wise, and that's exactly what we find here. Aside from the normal 24-pin power and a couple of eight-pin motherboard power connectors, the UCP 1100W also supports a single floppy drive, nine Serial ATA devices and five Molex connectors. The power supply certainly isn't lacking in its support for PCI Express graphics boards, with three eight-pin and six six-pin PCI Express power connectors on offer here too - Needless to say, this unit is also NVIDIA SLI certified, and running 3-way or Quad SLI (as well as CrossFireX) should be possible with the amount of power and connectivity on show here."
