[suvirintojas]

We're taking a look at the completely passive Cooler Master X Silent Edge power supply. It is 80 Plus Titanium rated and operates without fan, which means it is able to deliver the perfect noise-free experience, even when feeding a power hungry high-end graphics card.

in house OEM built by CM

$549 Is that a typo?

 

[dirtyferret]

$549 Is that a typo?

nope not a typo, they are building it completely in house so manufacturing scale is low with no mass production

Amazon.com

but this line "It is 80 Plus Titanium rated" from above is a typo @W1zzard, unit is rated platinum not titanium (see link above)

 

[dj-electric]

Very unfortunate pricing. It misses the mark by a clean 200 dollars here. You can get a similarly sized, essentially inaudible experience buying a larger wattage rating hybrid PSU

 

[wNotyarD]

Am I messed up for thinking "A ZAP" is funny for the model number of a PSU?

 

[Baba]

NZXXT C1500 is $350 and it's below 20 dBA noise at up to 1020W.

cooler master X silent Max platinum 1300w is $100 cheaper on amazon, it's the same platform they just removed the fan and called it passive

There is zero point to this. Does anyone ever hear their PSU fan anyway?

I don't, I hear my power hog of a GPU. If I cared about noise, I'd buy an Nvidia.

in certain professional fields (medical, scientific, etc.,) there is a need for a passive PSU.

Zero Fan mode is kinda "passive mode" usually up to half o the rated wattage of a power supply unit.

534€ - yay for sure

Then at least go big and make it Titanium.

I'm not replying to anyone in general, just venting my first thought that I had.
Which is that they should've at least made a Titanium certified PSU.
Or even better, Cybenetics Titanium certified.

 

[dirtyferret]

Or even better, Cybenetics Titanium certified

it "only" passed Cybentics platinum in both 115 & 230v testing

also even in the TPU test it did not make titanium

titanium 230v TPU was test @ 230v)
10% load is 90 or better - X silent did 85%
20% load is 94 or better - X silent did 92%
50% load is 96 or better - X silent did 94%
100% load is 91 or better - X silent did 91%

Internals look great but that's way too rippletastic for a $550 unit.

 

[MCJAxolotl7]

850 W, priced like a 1850 W. Good luck with that. Yeah, no.

 

[Visible Noise]

That’s pretty crazy, a power supply that actually cools the air.

It's not even THAT expensive, remember their MasterWatt Maker MIJ (Made in Japan) 1200 from 2017? That cost 1000EUR. And 15 year warranty is something I haven't heard of before.

MTBF 100,000 hrs (~11 1/2 years)

Surprised given some fans are rated for 150,000 hrs

cooler master X silent Max platinum 1300w is $100 cheaper on amazon, it's the same platform they just removed the fan and called it passive

You sure that has the 'Thermal Mold'?

 

[dirtyferret]

You sure that has the 'Thermal Mold'?

they added the heatsink to the case for the 850w while removing the fan from the 1300w, if you recall when Jon was on the forum he stated they do the exact same thing to their passive PSU. Simply use a 1300w to make a 850w passive unit and the platforms are clearly the same and both are made in house

Yeah, but this one is Titanium.
As dirtyferret posted this thing is barely platinum.

Bit of the same vibes as the Asus 5080 Astral. Why would you buy a "premium" suboptimal product?

 

[AnarchoPrimitiv]

Just an FYI: In the introduction paragraph there's an incomplete sentence:

"This wide power consumption gap between a lightly loaded and a fully loaded system."

 

[mb194dc]

Interesting product, almost no use cases require zero psu noise anyway, but if you do need it, good to get a 15 year warranty and what other options do you have?

99.9% of use cases better off with a cheaper design, with a fan. It's an ultra niche product.
