The 1600W platinum unit is quite simple looking, with just a few flashes of purple accenting across the panels. A large fan is hidden behind a panel, we will get a closer look at this fan shortly when we open the case. Cooler Master say this power supply is protected against ‘dust, moisture and insects' due to the ‘conformal coating'.
This power supply is very compact, measuring 160mm x 150 mm x 86 mm. This means it will fit into a huge variety of cases available on the market today.
One panel is home to the modular bay. This bay is split across three rows, all of which are labelled.
The other side of the power supply has the C19 power cable connector input and a power switch. The product ships with an information label attached here, which you remove. This explains that the fan will not start spinning until a certain temperature is detected inside the chassis. This is to try and help reduce noise levels when system load is lower.
This power supply is able to deliver up to 133.3A via the primary +12V rail. We can see that this power label is shared between the 1300W units and the 1600W units. The minor rails can deliver up to 20A which is a little less than the Seasonic Prime TX-1600, for instance, which is 25A on both.
