Hi guys today is the review of a PSU. Guess what, it’s the famous GX II, one of the most famous gaming power supplies in the market. This is one of the most reliable and cost effective power supplies in the market so far. Yes there are bigger and better power supplies, but for a mid-range budget build this PSU is the perfect solution.

• It’s a single rail 12V non modular PSU. Yes would prefer it to be modular but something to keep in mind is that it is comparatively very cheap.
  
• 5 Year Warranty – Cooler Master guarantees that their product will be functional for 5 years and it’s more than the time that you would use your computer. Unlike other PSUs this one has 5 years of coverage where most of the other PSUs give only 3 years coverage.
  
• USB charger – this is one of the top features I like in this PSU, this is a socket to connect your front USB panel through to the motherboard, the GX II provides continuous 5V power to the front panel even when the system is not running.
  
  
• Support Dual SLI- the GX II 750 W PSU comes with 4x 6+2 pin connectors, meaning that it can power up two high end graphics cards.
  
• The new 2nd Generation of GX II have a very silent fan and good cooling for long hours of operations.
  
• Built-in protection systems for stable, smooth and dependable supply like, OVP/ UVP/ OPP/ OTP/ SCP/ OCP.

Here are the Specifications of the PSU


The Power Distribution is as follows


The connectors available are,
1x 20+4Pin Motherboard Connector
1x 4+4Pin CPU +12V Connector
4x 6+2 Pin PCI-e Connector
9x SATA Connector
3x 4Pin Peripheral Connector
1x 4Pin Floppy Connector
1x USB Charger Cable

Though I wonder why they put up a Floppy Connector, it’s very good that it has 9 SATA Connectors.


The regulations this PSU comply with are a lot and you can see them on the side of the box of the PSU.


Maintenance and Dependability
Talking about dependability I have been using GX first series PSU on my old system for a long time now and used the system for long periods of time and had no problem at all with a PSU.
I have been using the new GX II for about 2 months now with my i7 Haswell overclocked at 4.5Ghz and been using the system for Rendering and Gaming for long hour. Sometime system has been up more than weeks without any problem.

Overall this PSU is a great pick for performance/price and one of the top level PSU’s available for midrange systems. This PSU has a very good Warranty coverage and is very dependable for long hours of gaming.
Test results will follow up soon.
