Cooler Master Silent Pro M2 1500W PSU Review

Nowadays, consumer computer power supplies come in all shapes and sizes, from Pico-ATX units capable of delivering only a few watts and up to extended-ATX units with an output of over 1kW. Today we are having a look at one of the most powerful power supplies currently available for ATX-compliant systems, the Cooler Master Silent Pro M2 1500W. Being the largest unit Cooler Master offers at this point of time, this behemoth was obviously not designed with the average user in mind and, strange as this may be, it is not the most powerful unit currently available in the retail market either.

The Silent Pro M2 series is the longest and most popular series of Cooler Master, with units ranging from 420W and up to 1500W. As the name suggests, the series is marketed towards enthusiasts and professionals who seek a modular unit capable of silent operation. On the other hand, this is one of the most expensive units on the market, currently retailing for $365.12 shipped. We are here today to see if enthusiasts and or professionals who actually require this kind of power can also look to Cooler Master for a low noise, high performance product.
