Cooler Master introduced two new lines of Power Supply Units at CES 2019. Unfortunately only one of them was visible in our pictures as the more premium V Platinum line was installed inside the higher end builds with PSU covers. Luckily the XG Gold Advanced was showing all out so we got some pictures of it in action. Being able to see useful diagnostics on the PSU itself seems to be a pretty interesting idea.
V Platinum
The V Platinum series joins Cooler Master’s high end PSU lineup. Equipped with 100% Japanese capacitors, an 80 PLUS Platinum efficiency rating and wattage levels of 850, 1000 and 1300, the V Platinum will provide enough power and stability for any heavy gamer, content creator or overclocker.

A built-in rail switch allows users to change between multi and single rail power output settings for more stability or efficiency depending on PC configuration and use scenario. The built-in Thermal Regulation Mode (TRM) of the V Platinum regulates the temperature of the PSU by slowly increasing the fan speed when temperatures increase, maintaining a comfortable unit temperature and minimizing noise output. This full-modular PSU comes with thicker, 16 AWG PCIe cables and a 10-year warranty for years of powerful performance.
