The Cooler Master Silent Pro Hybrid 850W is an attractively finished power supply, with a smooth clean paint finish on all corners. It is a simple, subtle design finished in plain dark colours with the model name on the sides in bright lettering.
The power supply measures 150mm x 180 mm x 86 mm. We wouldn't say the surface was quite as resilient to damage as the Enermax Platimax power supplies which we have reviewed recently, but it is quite difficult to scratch.
The large 135mm fan is a ‘Silent Hydraulic Bearing' design which is rated to generate very low levels of noise in the automatic profile setting. We like the appearance of the accented grey inner shield area, surrounding the fan. Cooler Master have placed a logo right in the center of the fan area.
The rear of the power supply has honeycomb vents for maximum airflow. At the left is a power connector and switch.
The modular panel is cleanly arranged, colour coded and labeled. This ensures that the installation phase is straightforward, even for an inexperienced system builder.

Cooler Master have included a dedicated +7V rail which can offer up to 1.8A to handle two external fans. We think this is the first time this has even been included within a power supply. The +12V rail can handle up to 70A, which is going to accommodate a high powered gaming system with multiple graphics cards.
