Cooler Master Enhanced the Legacy with ATX 3.0 Power Supply Launch: V Gold i, V SFX Platinum, MWE Gold V2 ATX 3.0 version
Last year Cooler Master unveiled a milestone in the history of contemporary technology: the very first small form factor power supply in the market with 850 W, V SFX Gold series. Today, Cooler Master takes the successor and pushes the limit to the maximum. Introducing V SFX Platinum, a series of small form factor power supply focused on high density and maximum power. While increasing the efficiency rate from Gold to Platinum, we also added ATX 3.0 and PCI-e Gen 5 connector so even with the Mini-ITX build; this will be your last stop when choosing the right power supply.
High Density / Performance-Focused
The V SFX Platinum comes with 2 different wattages: 1100 W and 1300 W targeting Mini-ITX system builders who wants to go bold with their setup, but doesn't have enough juice from the power supply. It also comes with a free SFX-ATX bracket that unlocks the limitations between each form factors, giving end-users more freedom and potential builds in the future. The V SFX Platinum are built with Full Bridge LLC design, quiet 92 mm silent fan and 100% Japanese capacitors. By adding PCIe Gen 5 connector, V SFX Platinum can unlock it's true potential and power up all Nvidia RTX 40 series GPU in the future.
Connect with the Future
Cooler Master is announcing a new line of the high-end power supply units under the name V Gold. After years of the original V series, a modern touch and futuristic looks has been added into the V Gold i series. The series is the improved version and specifically the next generations of high-end PC builders.
The V Gold i comes in two different wattage levels, 750 W, 850 W and both have an 80 Plus Gold rating efficiency, half Bridge LLC converter and 135 mm fan. The semi-digital design allows users to monitor the unit's status through Cooler Master's in-house software, MasterControl. Users can make necessary changes based on personal preference and receive information through the software. This new series features a new platform that boast great performance from all fronts. Inspired by the past PSU lines, Cooler Master has endeavored to deliver something safe, reliable, and efficient for a new era of gamers, modders and anyone also who simply demands the best for and from their system.
Reborn / Reconnect from the Market
MWE Gold V2 ATX 3.0 is the next step in the evolutions of the ATX 3.0 power supply lineup. The intention was not to create a new product, but to improve a current one to be even better to consumers and end-users. While the MWE Gold V2 has been in the market for quite a few years, we decided to carry on the classic high wattage power supply with the ATX 3.0 and PCIe Gen 5 connector and allow users to choose what they really want for their builds.
The classic 80 Plus Gold efficiency rate and 140 mm fans delivering the best performance and quiet fan noise at the same time.
All Performance. No Fuss.
All three new lineups are crafted with the best Cooler Master's in-house designers, offering new power supply experiences and new market trend. We also root deeply with our communities, understanding what they want and what they would like to see from Cooler Master. Power supply is one of the most important components in the system build. So choosing the right power supply can be hard, but we have you covered.

That's scifi... how on earth to cool that, open window in arctic?
Even if this is a revolutionary new platform (still can't find who the OEM will ve) and leveraging GaN, I just don't see how the "quiet effective 92mm fan" is possible at full rated load. Incredulous reaction from me if the V1300 manages to stay cool and quiet at the same time at 1300W.
I was more thinking about the mITX aim, where really something eats over 1000W is an esoteric thing. Okay, 700W are feasible if you like it loud. 1000W... just no... it simply lacks surface area and volume for cooling. mATX case, for sure, but true mITX no no no...
Noone who buys a 1000 W+ PSU for ITX will/should be on a tight budget. Inherently these systems are more expensive and challenging than ATX/MATX.
Noone who buys a 1000 W+ PSU for ITX wants to hear a 92mm fan spinning at 3000+ RPM if it gets close to that load.
I'll wait for Corsair/Seasonic offering, personally very doubtful that these other brands will be able to produce a high wattage SFX/SFX-L PSU without major compromises.
Please bring back the good old days of a quality PSU for less than $250 and normal person power ratings... an 850w PSU should be fine for anyone with a 500w GPU!
Oh and finally, for the love of god (despite me being atheist), finally some proper high power sfx psu's. Probably loud and hot and little use, but my prediction is finally confirmed that 1000w+ models are not impossible for sfx.
And hence, strictly speaking, that 1100W Platinum SFX COULD be a Seasonic unit, even though I don't personally think it's very likely.
Otherwise, I DEFINITELY wouldn't hold my breath regarding other OEMs suddenly popping out barrage of 1100W+ 80+ Titanium SFX units anytime soon lmao.
Regarding what exactly makes you put more faith in Corsair's/Seasonic's engineers vs Cooler Master's/OEM their use's engineers, I'll leave it. I'm assuming you have some classified evaluation of engineers' skillsets for all those companies ;) But if you do, mind at least sharing who the OEM for that SFX unit actually is? ;)
The current range of known 1000 W SFX PSUs will be loud...
What I said 3 posts ago?Their history of products proves their skills, all I need to say. You're the one trying to put words into my mouth.Titanium SFX units already exist, just not at those wattages yet.
Platinum SFX units exist already too, and these new products are the envelope being pushed, the cost is fan noise since efficiency will be 90% or less.
History of e.g., Super Flower's PSUs, who drastically improved since Golden Green series, proves that otherwise, but I digress.
That's all I wanted to know, I rest my case obviously.
Have a nice day ;)
So you also know quality of future products from brand A based merely on past products from brands B and C.
Not what I asked for, but impressive nonetheless ;)
Can you also tell lottery numbers in advance? ;)
But so are you, if you are claiming you can do above, and expect others to believe that.
But I'll leave it at that to not provoke you further inadvertently.
Have a good day regardless.
Go look at the Silverstone 1000W SFX-L internals (yes I know it's SFX-L, but hear me out). There's not an extreme use of surface area (simply a large metal plate or two, with holes cut into it), and it doesn't get above 50°C at full load.
The people above are jumping the gun. Calm down and wait for reviews. I hopefully don't need to remind anyone why such crazy PSUs might be required, if you remember that space heaters like the 12900k and upcoming RTX4090 exist.
Also, if you're saying such a component combination is absurd in a SFF case...well yes, that's the point. If you're saying such a component combination is impossible in SFF, then you clearly haven't been paying attention to the SFF space. Don't underestimate what people of the community, or manufacturers, can come up with. It's certainly possible, it's just not optimal. Undervolting is a big friend of SFF users ;)
