A good power supply is probably the most important part of any system build, and while KitGuru have focused recently on some seriously high end units such as the Corsair AX1200 and the Enermax Revolution 85+ 1020W, not everyone can afford these (or needs them in the first place).
Today we are focusing on a power supply that can be picked up for £70 inc vat in the UK. The Cooler Master Silent Pro M 600 W unit is a modular PSU with a single 12V rail offering 40A. There are four other models in the range, those being 500W, 700W, 850W and 1000W units. The higher end 850W and 1000W are 80 Plus Bronze certified while the one we have on review today has only received the standard 80 Plus approval.

Cant really knock that for the price, I love a silent PSU, some of the ones ive bought in the past have been loud as hell.
Very nice looking little PSU and more practical for most people. Ideal for media center, decent efficiency at lowist ouput and no noise.
Coolermaster make a decent little PSU, not in the same league as the new corsair stuff, but more than capable of giving enermax a run for their money.
efficiency is really good for the lowest rated cert.
My friend bought this last month for £90, he will be slightly pissed off 🙂 its a very quiet PSU and their naming is really honest. I like Coolermaster,
ideal for my next media build – might even drop a bit more by christmas !
really good value for money on the noise front alone.
Very good buy indeed. I had a coolermaster PSU before and I think its still working, its about 7 years old and very dusty ! well worth the money
I would buy this for a media center, but im aiming to pick up the 750W corsair unit which was reviewed here last week.
I find the internal design of this unit particularly interesting, the low profile concept with multiple capacitors.
