Cooler Master Real Power 550W SLI PSU Review
Cooler Master Real Power 550W SLI PSU Review
Coolermaster surprised us two years ago with their Real Power 450W PSU, offering solid performance for a competitive price. Today we have their latest in for testing - a 550W SLI certified unit equipped with 120mm for silent operation.

  Introduction

Coolermaster’s first Real-Power Power Supply was well received almost 2 years ago, with its 450 Watt rating it could be used in high end system without problem. Now that SLI and Crossfire has come along the 450Watt rating might not be sufficient.

So here we have an updated power supply from Coolermaster, 550 Watt and SLI verified, it’s time pull out the stops and see if it can pass our SLI tests.

nVidia’s SLI Zone has the Real Power listed as certified part for building your SLI system, that can’t be bad!

A peak rating of 18~20A on two main 12V lines is more than sufficient for the most demanding SLI systems
