Coolermaster Real Power 450W is a product of the premium range of power supplies from Coolermaster.You will get cheap 450W PSUs in the market but how many of them manage to provide 450W power all the time? Not even one.But this one is capable of providing 450W of real power to your PC day in and day out.That what makes this PSU or rather I should say this series special.

The PSU comes packaged in a heavy packing which is just an indication of more things to come. In the packaging bundle is included the 450W PSU,a manual,a power cable,a 24-20 pin ATX adapter,analogue wattage mater and the installation screws.The PSU comes painted in black which helps in dissipating the heat faster.

The PSU provides a total of 191W on the  +3.3V and the +5V rails,264W on the +12V rail and the remaining 22W on the negative rails totaling it upto 450W.The PSU has dual +12V rails with peaks of 18A and 16A respectively.This is a boon as you can separate high power consuming devices from low consuming ones giving the PC more stability.

The PSU is cooled by a huge 120mm fan which has a fan speed of 2400 rpm at full load.The fan is super quiet and has a noise of only 30db which is great for a big fan of its caliber. Other cooling technique used by coolermaster is the honey com structure at the back of the PSU to let the warm air out.

Coolermaster has bundled a whole bunch of different types of connectors and you would hardly run short of any.Seven four-pin molex connectors,two SATA connectors,one 24-pin ATX connection, one four-pin ATX12V connection, two floppy connections and a connection for analogue wattage meter.

The analogue wattage meter is an accessory that is provided with the PSU which can be used to measure the amount of power that is being drawn from the system at a particular instant.It can be installed by sliding it into the bay and conenct it to the power supply with the provided screws.It is a good way to guage the power usage of your PC at various loads and also if you are running short of power.

The performance of this PSU is exceptional and it manages to stay within the specifications that have been given by Coolermaster.This PSU is good even for intensive tasks such as overclocking.

Pros:

• Excellent performance
• Dual +12 V rails
• Real 450W power

Final Thoughts
