Representatives of the V series can boast of advanced circuitry, input filters, DC-DC converters, high-temperature capacitors at all key nodes, efficient LLC topology, active PFC and other design features that we expect from a power supply for $ 150 – 200.
On the one hand, the V Series assortment is rich in choice, on the other hand, this wealth can confuse an unprepared reader. For example, in addition to the classic ATX format models, you can also find small-sized SFX power supplies here. Other manufacturers usually put them in a separate basket. Secondly, the efficiency and the level of efficiency of the blocks themselves differ, which is why options with an 80+ Platinum certificate, which cost 2-3 times more expensive, can peacefully coexist next to the "gold" models. As for the appearance, in addition to the classic black models in the ranks of the V Series, you can find not quite ordinary white power supplies.
The idea of this line is best revealed by the Cooler Master V Gold V2 power supply released in 2020. This is an interesting model with an efficiency under 90% and a "gold" quality certificate, modular cables, a quiet fan on a double ball bearing (up to 40% of the load works in silent mode), all the necessary set of protections (OVP, OPP, SCP, OCP, UVP, OTP) and an official 10-year warranty from Cooler Master. It has an excellent ratio between price and functionality, and the choice of capacities from 550 to 850 watts allows you to eliminate the need for PC power for most people.
