Cooler Master Shows New X Series PSUs at Computex 2023

Cooler Master has showcased a couple of new PSUs at the Computex 2023, including the X Silent series Max and Edge PSUs, which are "near-silent" and fanless models that should be coming soon. In addition, Cooler Master has come up with some high-quality 12VHPWR 90 degree cables that should be better than standard ones.

The X Series Max is described as "near-silent" since it has a low speed RGB fan in order to support higher wattage, but will keep the noise at 20dB. The X Silent Max will be available in models of up to 1300 W and uses a single-piece heat dissipation structure. The X Series Edge is a whole different beast as this is a completely fanless PSU, that features special airflow-improving extended fan cover, vapor chamber technology, and the same single-piece heat dissipation structure. The X Series Edge will go to up to 750 W. Both of these X Series PSUs are ATX 3.0 and PCIe 5.0 compliant, which means they come with 12VHPWR cables, and both support Cooler Master's MasterControl software, allowing users to monitor temperature, current load, and overall performance. Cooler Master also unveiled new 12VHPWR cables, with 90-degree angle that should prevent unnecessary bending, as well as an upgraded connector design with double springs and thicker wire, which should be better than those previous cables and reduce the connector temperatures by 5 degrees.

Streacom Redesigning the PSU SFX Form-factor with ZS800

Streacom unveiled a rather interesting power supply unit at its Computex 2023 showcase, the 800 W ZS800. While it might look a bit strange, Streacom's reasons behind such a product makes sense, considering it started as a project to create a "better" power supply for SFF builds, leading to what you can see in these pictures below.

According to Streacom, the biggest improvement to be done were on the cables, namely the 24-pin ATX cable which is bulky and quite difficult to handle, especially in tight SFF cases. The breakthrough came with the announcement of Intel's ATX12VO specification (12 V-only) and since Streacom has experience with compact DC to DC ATX converters, this led to reduced number of pins for the 24-pin cable, at least on the PSU side, as it still needs a 24-pin adapter for the motherboard. Such a hybrid solution also means that the ZS800 is actually both ATX 3.0 and ATX12VO compatible.

Thermaltake Brings New Toughpower SFX Power Supplies to Computex 2023

Thermaltake is not a stranger when it comes to SFX power supplies but its current Toughpower SFX Gold lineup will be expanded with new higher output models and given an ATX 3.0 specification, and it is introducing the new Toughpower SFX Platinum series.

The Thermaltake Toughpower SFX Gold lineup was already available in 450 W, 550 W, 650 W, and 750 W versions, but now, Thermaltake is bringing new 750 W, 850 W, and 1000 W models, which are all compatible with ATX 3.0 specifications and feature a native PCIe 5.0 12+4-pin modular interface. The Toughpower SFX Gold 750 W and 850 W models will use a standard SFX form-factor, while the 1000 W model will be based on a slightly longer SFX-L form factor. The star of the PSU show is the Toughpower SFX Platinum series, also coming in 750 W, 850 W, and 1000 W models, and as the name suggests, these have 80 Plus Platinum efficiency. The Toughpower SFX Platinum will also be compatible with ATX 3.0 specifications and feature the same native PCIe 5.0 12+4-pin modular interface. Both the Toughpower SFX Gold and the Toughpower SFX Platinum series are bundled with SFX to ATX adapter bracket. We expect them both in retail/e-tail soon.
