Cooler Master are using a Yate Loon fan, model number D12BH-12, which is rated at a maximum of 3,000 rpm, 101 CFM and 47dBa. Highly unlikely it will ever spin that high in this unit however.
The OEM for this particular supply is Enhance Electronics. They have earned a good enough reputation over the years, although they fall short of market leaders Seasonic, Delta or Flextronics. This is a full bridge implementation featuring a LLC resonant converter on the primary. The secondary side uses mosfets to regulate the +12V rail.
The filtering starts with a pair of Y caps and X caps. It continues to the main PCB and contains two Y caps, two X caps, two CM chokes and an MOV.
Two DC-DC converters produce minor rails, as seen in many of the latest designs we have reviewed in 2014.
The primary capacitor is high grade Japanese PANASONIC, rated 105C 560uF, 450V. Other capacitors on the board are high grade 105c – Nippon Chemi Con, Suncon and Rubycon branded.
Another close up look at the poor quality sleeving on the hard wired cables which we mentioned earlier in the review. S0me of the wires are exposed on the outside as they enter the chassis.

Senior Intel Engineer Explains the Radical Shift in CPU Design
When Intel launched Lunar Lake (Core Ultra 200V) in 2024 we gave you the technical details and followed up with a review of the Asus Zenbook S 14 which has incredible battery life. In the following month we discussed Intel Arrow Lake (Core Ultra 200S) and how we considered it was unfit for review in a situation that was not resolved until February 2025. On the one hand we have Lunar Lake which we like, while on the other hand we have Arrow Lake which is troubled, yet both families of processors run on Lion Cove P-cores and Skymont E-cores and have a huge amount in common.
I just bought this weeks ago when my Cougar CMX700 died on me. It’s cool, silent, and hasn’t died on me yet! But that cable sleeving is atrocious! my CMX700 had awesome cables, but this is just shit.
