DESCRIPTION 

The Cooler Master MWE 550 Bronze V2 is a solid power supply unit, and its features make it a good choice for mid-range systems that don’t require ultra-high wattage. 

Key Features:

• Efficiency (80 PLUS Bronze):

  • 85-88% typical load is great for reducing energy consumption and waste. It means the PSU is fairly efficient compared to lower-rated units, which translates into less heat generation and lower electricity bills.

• 120mm Hydro Dynamic Bearing (HDB) Fan:

  • HDB fans are quiet and durable, with the added benefit of adjusting speed based on temperature. This helps reduce noise when your system isn't under heavy load, a nice feature for maintaining a quieter workspace or gaming setup.

• DC-to-DC + LLC Circuit Design:

  • The combination of a DC-to-DC and LLC design helps ensure that the PSU delivers stable, consistent power to all components. It’s especially important for systems that need reliable performance under varying loads.

• Single +12V Rail:

  • A single +12V rail is often considered simpler and more stable compared to multiple rails because it allows for better power distribution, ensuring that all components get enough power without the risk of overloading any specific rail.

• Flat, Black, Non-Modular Cables:

  • These cables, while not modular (meaning you can’t remove unneeded cables), are more flexible and provide a neater look when managing your cables. This could be a plus for someone who doesn’t mind working with cable mess, or for smaller builds where space management is important.

• Protections:

  • The safety features are top-notch for a PSU in this price range. Over Voltage Protection (OVP), Over Temperature Protection (OTP), and other safeguards ensure that the unit will shut down safely in case of electrical anomalies, reducing the risk of damage to your components.

Power Output and Connectors:

• The +12V rail has a 45A max current rating, which is the most critical part for powering your CPU and GPU. With 540W dedicated to this rail, you’ve got ample power for most gaming and productivity builds.

• It includes:

  • 1 ATX 24 Pin for your motherboard.

  • 1 EPS 4+4 Pin for additional CPU power.

  • 2 PCI-e 6+2 Pin connectors for your graphics card.

  • 6 SATA and 3 Peripheral 4 Pin connectors for storage drives and other components.
