The Cooler Master PSU arrives in a plain box with a picture of the unit itself on the front.
Inside we are greeted with two Silicon Rubber pads which absorb vibrations during operation. There is also a CD included which has a digital manual on it.
Removing these items and a cardboard protection layer we get access to the unit underneath. The cabling is stored on the side, underneath the UK power connector. The PSU is protected underneath a plastic wrap.
One of the sides is completely vented to allow for quick removal of warm air, there is only a power lead connector and button here. Cooler Master have included a nice little badge on the top of the unit which looks very nice.
The unit is dominated by the large 135mm fan on the bottom – the unit is 15cm in length, so there is little room on any corner. It is a rather plain design which won't be winning any design awards, but it is adequate for the price range.
The 600W Cooler Master unit has six connectors on the rear, two of which are gray for the video card cables. The four black connectors are for SATA and peripheral power cables. The main motherboard connector cable and ATX12V/EPS12V cables are the only cables which are not modular and have nylon outer protection.
Cooler Master Silent Pro M 600W Cable support (each cable is a bullet point):
- 1x 20/24 pin motherboard connector.
- 2x ATX12V connectors which can form a EPS12V connector.
- 2x PCIe power cables (8 pin or 6 pin)
- 3x SATA Cables
- 3x SATA Cables
- 3x Molex Connectors
- 2x Molex & floppy disk connectors
As you may have worked out you can't install all the cabling at the same time however it gives users the option to install whatever they need for their specific computer. If you happen to need every cable installed then you need to spend more cash and aim for a higher model in the range. These modular cables are flat in design.
