CoolerMaster MasterPlus+ 1.7.9 (ARGB control and PSU power monitor)

[kiriakost]

I do wonder how many are using (Cooler-Master) MasterPlus+ ?
I am not a fan of RGB LED control software, most of them a true memory hog.

But Newest ever XG650 Plus Platinum RGB, is on the way to the markets.
Fan speed, Load of Watts, PSU temperature, all available at PSU side panel due dedicated LED.

MasterPlus+ software this is now equipped with PSU power consumption monitor / recorder.

Spesific PSU series this is extremely high priced, not widely available yet in Europe, but I found stock in Greece (650W) one.

I cannot find any place that is selling it. You say "extremely high priced" - but without knowing what that price is, I cannot make a judgement, except in generality. And that is, if anything is "extremely high priced" I would not want it unless (maybe) it offered extremely high "value" for that extremely high price. And since RGB lighting does absolutely nothing for performance, consumes extra power (even if only a little), generates extra heat (again, even if only a little), and does absolutely nothing for performance (worth repeating), I definitely would not want it.

If find it interesting they are marketing "flat cables" as a positive, claiming they reduce clutter, increase air flow and improve aesthetics. BULLFEATHERS!!!!

Flat cables, historically known as "ribbon" cables, were typically replaced with round cables because they "reduce clutter, increase air flow, and improve aesthetics. Go ahead and make a 90° turn with a ribbon cable and have it not become a dust catching, wind block!

How can a solid object 2 inches wide reduce airflow compared to a solid object less than 3/4 inch wide?

If you scroll down on your first link to the part on flat cables, tell me that cable does not look cheap and more importantly, stiff and inflexible!

They certainly could be quality cables in terms of electrical continuity and robustness of the connectors - just as round cables and their connectors could be total junk. But if the marketing weenies have to put a bunch of "fluffed up" marketing "hype" in the marketing literature, red flags immediately go up - at least for me.

The marketing hype also claims that PSU offers "next level" efficiency. No it doesn't. I don't even know what that means - unless they mean next level from "Gold". Big whoopie! "Titanium" is better and efficiency is NOT a predictor of quality or reliability.

It does not even have the best warranty out there as there there are lots of "Gold" supplies out there with 10-year warranties and Seasonic even have some "Gold" (and Platinum and Titanium) with 12-year warranties.

Load of Watts

I don't understand your point there. It's a 650W PSU. Newegg USA alone has 74 different 650W PSUs. And while 650W is a nice ample size, more than enough for most users, it is not "loads of watts" compared to any other 650W PSU - or any of the 700W, 850W, 1000W, 1500W or bigger PSUs.

I will admit, I am biased. I see no purpose for pretty RGB lighting except on Christmas trees. I like to pay attention to what's being displayed on my monitors and expect... nay... demand! my cases (and what's in them) sit quietly and discreetly off to the side and NOT draw attention to itself.

So you were asking (wondering) how many had this supply? I apologize for dragging your thread a bit off topic, but I wonder if maybe your question should be, "How many would 'consider' using this supply?" To that, I will just say, "I wouldn't."

CoolerMaster skips to mention software compatibility with Win 7 64bit, but there is

I thought to test the software even with out owning yet the hardware, but I did crash over a wall.

That is not uncommon these days. Lots of software designed for W10 will run on W7. But since that could end without a moments notice, they can avoid complaints about it not being supported and they don't have to dedicate resources to maintain compatibility.

And totally off-topic, but what month was that folder created on your system? Seems odd that appears to be the only non-English word in your entire post.
