Cooler Master Unveils the MasterWatt Maker MIJ 1200 W Power Supply
At CES 2017, Cooler Master unveiled a limited edition of their MasterWatt line of power supply units: the MasterWatt Author ME 1200 W. As the name implies, this is a 1200 W power supply, rated at 80 Plus Titanium efficiency levels (which means >94% energy efficiency), though Cooler Master claims this PSU is able to achieve >95% efficiency levels. Built exclusively with Murata components, Cooler Master are presenting this one as the best power supply they've ever made, and they're therefore pitting it as a special, limited edition PSU, of which only a few thousand samples will be produced and sold: at an over $1000 price-tag.
Alongside this special, limited edition PSU, Cooler Master have also announced the impending availability of their MasterWatt Maker 1500 W PSU, for those discernible users who requires something short of a nuclear power core to power their PC's, which packs a 7-year warranty, revised and streamlined 3D technology, and is powered by a high-end, ARM-based digital signal processor.
Like other products on Cooler Master's MasterWatt line of PSUs, both the Limited Edition MasterWatt Maker MIJ 1200 W and the newly announced MasterWatt Maker 1500 W will feature Bluetooth support, for connecting with your smartphone through a Cooler Master App which allows you some degree of control over the PSUs workings.

Also, where does the Analog in the title come from?
Not even fanless.
Who is expected to pay $1000 for this???
It seems very long..
PSU Case is great.
Will definitely be watching.
Such things mean a lot to me.
Only negative thing is fan and price, I would like more to see San Ace inside because probably is more durable and better quality than 10$ worth CM, fan.
They should install some 30-35$ worth San Ace.
But this PSU case is best on market, fan could be replaced probably if someone like San Ace but than no more warranty.
They should install Sanyo Denki for 999$.
It would be nice to have such great PSU.
App for iPhone will not be available probably.
Considering, if it was possible, one can run four 1080s and an intel cpu while overclocked on 1KW psu, I wonder why units like these and 1.5KW are still coming out!.
No matter what people think. But any full tower case with watercooling and Intel 6-8-10 cores and 2 or more GPU should have at least 1200W PSU. Or if owner install 1500W it's not overkill. He only don;t like to come close to limitation. Want to feel free to install anything what physically could be installed on motherboard + fans + fan and pump controllers, etc.
It's bad to install in Obsidian 900D or Caselabs Magnum or Phanteks Etno Pro, Cosmos or some Big Lian-Li only 850W. Off course people will go at least on 1000 and in most case 1200-1500W.
Imagine 850W in Caselabs STH10... It's funny no matter what you have.
2 x 1000 or 1500W off course.
I have 1200W PSU in normal RIG where 750-800W is enough.
But I have 1200W and my fan is always disabled, i feel like I have fanless PSU.
Better than 750W and fan to spin on 1500RPM or to be hot.
Even 1200W is warm without fan.
Let's look at the latest generation however...
How about a 6950x, two 1080Ti's, a pump, 7 fans, 2 HDD, 1 pcie ssd, 1 2.5" ssd, 4x8gb ram. I'd run that overclocked to the max without worrying on a quality 900W PSU. Remember, Pascal only scales (out of the box) to two cards. Nkw if you went back a gen and went 3 980 tis.. you can have a point for over 1KW. :)
while you can run a system like this on a good 900W PSU wihtout worrying, your PSU's efficiency drops a noticeable amount at that load. and you're likely reducing the life of the PSU. for a system like that I'd probably go with a 1200W PSU. but definitely not this 1200W PSU.
Ripoff.. :pyou can probably reach 800W+ stress testing.. not in gaming though..
Also, though it's technically true it's not in an efficiency sweet spot, the difference is typically 1%... hardly what I would call a noticeable amount however.
A quality psu should be able to run its labeled wattage for the life of its warranty. I'd happily run a quality 900w psu for what I listed without fear.
