This power supply has not one, but six +12V rails and all are beefy.The UCP (Ultimate Circuit Protection) series is a new generation of power supplies from Cooler Master designed with quality circuits which specialize in efficiency. With first class soft-start circuits, the lives of the primary circuit components are extended. The continuous active clamp forward switching technology and the D/D VRMs circuit design achieves over 88% efficiency which makes this of the best PSUs in the 80 Plus Silver category. The unique appearance of the UCP is made of a special coating that screams high quality and ruggedness and this is the type of things for high end PCs, especially for Quad SLI setup. Cooler Master also provides an extra-long 5-year warranty with the customer in mind!
Not bad for a $229 power supply, but for that price it better have some solid rails. Here are some pictures of the Cooler Master UCP RSB00-AAAAA3 1100W PSU:
The Retail Box: The Bundle Inside: The Cooler Master 1100W PSU is smaller than the Cooler Master 1000W PSU... Sorta interesting. Another view of the two side-by-side: The ratings labels: Oddly enough the 3.3V and 5V rail are 5 Amps lower on the 1100W power supply, which is a 17% decrease in power. The +12V rail is where the new 1100W PSU gets the high overall Wattage rating though.
