Quiet MWE Gold V2, 550W power supply. Power supply rated output: 550 W. Cooling type: Active (with fan). Cable management: Fully modular. 80 PLUS certification: 80 PLUS Gold. Power supply form factor: ATX. The MWE Gold V2 (Full Modular) is the next step in the evolution of Cooler Master's 80 PLUS Gold power supply series for beginners. The original MWE Gold series was designed to provide a simpler and more affordable gold-rated option to help users transition from 80 PLUS White and Bronze power supplies. While there is still demand for White and Bronze power supplies, the global standard has shifted to Gold. Some countries have even begun to mandate 80 PLUS Gold efficiency as a legal minimum for purchases. This is why it is so important for Cooler Master to offer affordable options like the MWE Gold. The MWE Gold V2 improves upon the original version in the areas where users will see the most benefit. The 80 PLUS Gold certification of this power supply ensures that at 100% load, an efficiency of at least 88% is achieved. This means that only a small amount of the input energy is converted to heat, resulting in less heat generation, lower energy consumption, and thus reduced ventilation requirements.
