Packaging

CoolerMaster never has been one to use gaudy colored packaging no matter which product you happen looking at.  They have instead chosen to use a light-colored background and then images of the product inside the packaging.  Personally this is the type of packaging that I like the best since it cuts through the hype and instead gives you the information that you are looking for when it comes time to purchase your computer parts.

CoolerMaster has provided a great deal of information on the rear of the carton and this includes the specifications and the pictures of all the cable-ends that are provided on the CoolerMaster Real Power Pro power supply. It also shows the current and power rating of the this power supply.  When we look at it we can see that Cooler Master has opted for six - 12 volt rails.

The power supply is packaged very professionally, there are equal thicknesses of foam material on all four sides of the unit and the top and bottom of the power supply have also been treated to a 1/2" thick piece of foam padding to help keep the power supply in pristine condition when it arrives at your home.

A Closer Look

The first thing I notice about the CoolerMaster Pure Power Pro 1000 watt power supply was the fact that the beautifully painted gunmetal case did not show any fingerprints when I touched it.  When you are working with a high-gloss power supply you sometimes will work for hours as you try to get a clean smudgeless picture. 

The unit has only one fan as is becoming very common among power supply manufacturers these days, some say this reason that this is happening is because the makers are getting cheap.  That is not the case, it has been proven that a extremely high volume fan that pushes air through the power supply is better than one that has one on the bottom of the unit and one at the rear pulling air through the unit.

It is also worth mentioning that this power supply complies with ATX 12V V2.2 and EPS 12V V2.91 that offer's more power capacity for CPU usage.
