Cooler Master Brings New PSUs to CES 2024, Including 2800 W X Might and and 1100 W X Silent Edge

[GFreeman]

Cooler Master had plenty to show at the CES 2024 in Las Vegas, including a full lineup of its power supply units. The star of the show were the new X Silent Max, X Silent Edge, and the X Mighty PSU series, all featuring ATX 3.1 support and 12VHPWR outputs. In addition, Cooler Master also showcased a couple of SFX PSUs and V- and GX-series power supplies.

The Cooler Master X Mighty PSU series will be available in 2800 W and 2000 W outputs, and comes with a total of four 12VHPWR connectors on the 2800 W model, providing a total of 2,400 W power. As said, it comes with ATX 3.1 support, use only high-quality and reliable components, and have 80 Plus Platinum power efficiency. It supports MasterCTRL software where you can monitor temperature, load, and overall performance. The X Silent Max is going to be available in 1300 W version, and has ATX 3.1 support and comes with a single 12VHPRW output, It uses ultra-quiet Cooler Master Mobius fan keeping the noise level at up to 20dB. It comes with patented single-piece heat dissipation structure which uses a direct contact heatsink with heatpipes combined with the casing in order to keep the temperatures down. It also uses active bridge rectifier and Infineon IC chips for high quality performance, as well as has support for MasterCTRL software.



The Cooler Master X Silent Edge will be available in 1100 W and 850 W outputs, and is the first fanless 1100 W PSU. Cooler Master also used the same heatsink with extended fan cover and heatpipe technology to keep the temperatures down. It has ATX 3.1 support, 12VHPWR connector, and uses the same active bridge rectifier and Infineon ICs, as well as has MasterCTRL software support.

Cooler Master also showcased a couple of updated PSUs including the GX III Gold 850 W version, and the the V-series V Platinum V2 1600 W model. These are updated to ATX 3.0 and ATX 3.1 specification, have 12VHPWR connectors, and even Cooler Master Mobius fan for the V Platinum V2 1600 W. Cooler Master also had a few SFX PSUs on display including the V SFX Platinum, coming in 1300 W and 1100 W versions, and the V SFX Gold, coming in 850 W and 750 W versions.



We are certainly looking forward to check out some of these PSUs, and hopefully some of them will be available soon.

To put that in perspective a standard 15amp, 120volt circuit maxs out at 1800watts. A 20 amp circuit maxes out at 2400 watts.

2800 watts is just insane… maybe they are preparing for the next mining run. Or home built AI clusters. Cuz enterprises aren’t buying Cooler Master.

2800 Watt PSU. Okay. Cool. Is this just for fun, or should we be worried about the energy efficiency of upcoming hardware? Because I struggle to even find a use for something like that with what is currently available, unless we are talking several 4090s in NVLINK SLI for... computation workloads, I guess? Crypto mining, if that was still a thing? Weren't we as an industry all in on the whole "less power consumption, save the planet" train anyway?

OEM Manufacturer: "So how many watts for this new PSU??"

Cooler Master: "Yes."

I received this 2500w heater from Amazon this week by mistake.
They apologized and told me I could keep the product in addition to shipping what I ordered the next day.
The question is what will warm me the most. 2800w PSU with Four GPUs or this radiator.

We constantly being told that we're getting more efficient, but that never actually results in a NET reduction in consumption, does it?

Which GPUs though? If four GTX480s. You should feel like youre in the Gobi desert or the Bahamas right now.

I doubt it is 120volt, more like 240volt for the rest of the world excluding the US.

The only usecase I see is a special AI desktop machiene with 4x 4090s, or mining...

The "V SFX" disappeared since announcements in 2017, but I guess CM had to update them to ATX 3.0 specs. The 12VHPWR connector is welcomed and worth the wait!

Coolermaster Mighty X 2800W.....................

I think Coolermaster has scared the Dutch government, as yesterday there was a press release here of this outgoing government, that it will invest (in loans) 25 billion euro's in upgrading the national power grid.
Coincidence, or do they expect it to sell well over here in the low lands , I smell an upcoming conspiracy theory

Without kidding, this almost looks a case of: not because we have to, but because we can

I personally see no use for it in the regular home pc user, even if you have a high end power house system this is still (to put it mildly) overkill.
Maybe it will be suitable for some high end workstations with up to four power hungry graphic cards and/or AI implementation.
Keep in mind that Coolermaster is not a company that is new in this business, so they probably think they will sell enough units to cover the costs of R&D and manufactering to set a product as this in the market.

So without more funny/sarcastic comments, I just want to see where it goes from here with PSU development as this is the most powerfull ATX PSU I've seen so far.

Finally more choices for >= 1000W SFX PSU. Just in time for the RTX 5000s series in 2025.
