The Cooler Master V Series 550 W supply is attractively finished – we like the two tone gunmetal grey and black scheme. The Cooler master badge is noticeable in key positions and the ‘V550' is finished in white and gold. All in all, its a compact, good looking power supply – measuring 150mm x 140 mm x 86 mm.
The large Silencio FP fan is hidden behind a black honeycomb style grill with the company logo positioned in the middle section.
One side of the supply has a power connector, power switch and vent to help maximise the air flow.
This is a pure modular design, with no cables hardwired into the chassis. The modular area on the power supply is well laid out, with all the sections clearly labelled – they are all different connector sizes anyway, so it is difficult to go wrong during the build phase.
