Perfect!

A power supply that runs a Ryzen 7800X3D + an RX 7700 XT with RGB fans without a problem. Gold 80plus for a reasonable price, it's just perfect.

Much too noisy!

This power supply is incredible in its size, I was shocked when I received it! Unfortunately after several weeks of use I am really disappointed... The power supply is noisy! I was expecting it when I saw its size but I'm not just talking about the fan (which has a very strange curve, from 15% of use it blows at 100%!) but a strange whistling problem that continues even when the machine is turned off! I will contact LDLC support and edit my note accordingly. [Update] Following a power supply exchange by LDLC, I have exactly the same problem... I have read on other reviews that there is another version of this power supply with these problems solved. So it's a bit of a hit and miss. This will be my last Cooler Master power supply and purchase on LDLC. I'm not going to wait weeks to get another not so great power supply.

        Good product

        I was forced to reduce the speed of a RX5700XT because the PC was shutting down with some games randomly. Replacing a branded 650Watt power supply, I gained in storage space (less cables, in a compact case it's important).

        I really appreciate its silence and its high energy efficiency.

        Very good

        Silent and efficient with a 3070 TI, quite a lot of connectivity so nothing to say, package received in one day well packed

        Ras

        Coupled with a lian li mini o11, the installation without problem, I do not find it noisy. Everything is perfect.

        Old noisy version, new superb version.

        The other review explains the problem with the old version well.
        But the cooler master service is very responsive and sent me the new version without any problem!
        So 2 stars is not constructive!

        I received the new version and it is superb and without noise! Nowadays it's the new versions that are sold and at worst you exchange it.

        Even when the after sales service works well, the French still complain... The fault is human.

        Power supply far too noisy :(

        An excellent 850w power supply in SFX format. The big drawback is that it is suddenly noisy at more than 15% load: it is in 0db silent mode below 15% load, above that the fan runs. If the computer has been left without a heavy load for too long, the fan goes up to 100% for 2-3 minutes. This is very annoying if your PC is rather quiet and runs with a 5800x (TDP: 105w) or more.
        With my configuration: 5900x + 3080, the power supply fan is at 100% for 5 seconds as soon as I open the internet and then it shuts down.
        Avoid this if your PC does not have such a large power supply.

        LDLC also indicates the presence of a button on the power supply to disable the fanless option, there is none. To be corrected by the LDLC service.

        I have requested an exchange with the new version from cooler master: the fan control is done by the temperature and not the load. My request was accepted. I have to receive the new one in 2 weeks.
        I would advise you to wait until the beginning of May to order yours and be sure to have the new version.
        If you have the old version, I recommend you to ask for the new version on the "fanzone" of cooler master (SAV site).
