Venlo, Netherlands – 27th of October, 2008 - After 5 years of releasing power supplies under the brand name of “Cooler Master”, we are now proud to announce Cooler Master will establish the PSU test lab in the European headquarters in Venlo. Cooler Master is always exploring to improve the quality of power supplies and this test lab will help us equip our future products with better performance and results. The European headquarters sets up the PSU test lab based on the example installed some time ago in the global headquarters in Taipei. Cooler Master makes sure the European test lab have the best equipment in the industry. After a long search and many visits to several companies, Cooler Master decides to have equipment from Yokogawa, Tektronix, Fluke and Chroma.

The test lab is to maintain high quality of PSU for the brand name of “Cooler Master”. Many factors influence the performance of PSU including temperature and climate. Cooler Master will test PSU in Europe to produce the best PSU, which can perform to the maximum level anywhere in the world. The ability to react rapidly to any problems that might occur to PSU will increase in the European continent. Cooler Master will test and detect the problem at first hand and promptly come up with a solution. This will enhance our flexibility and adaptability in the fast moving market.
