Discerning computer enthusiasiats know that a PC is only as strong as its weakest link. Skimp on a few components, and the stability of the entire system is in jeopardy. To provide these users with the very best desktop power supply money can buy, Cooler Master is proud to unveil the UCP series - a breakthrough line of power supplies engineered for users that depend on their computer systems day in and day out.
As the winner of Tom's Hardware's Innovation award and now "80 Plus Silver" certified, this power supply is built with top-of-the-line components and is a major feature in advance power distribution. The UCP Series delivers levels of performance and efficiency that are second-to-none.
The UCP stands for Ultimate Circuit Protection, and it's easy to see why. At the 5 and 3.3V output and 3.3V conversion stages, Cooler Master outfits the 900W and 1100W UCP power supplies with no less than eight solid capacitors, which generate less heat and have a high tolerance for high frequencies and temperatures. Cooler Master also uses Japanese-made electrolytic capacitors throughout, which are known for their superior quality and longevity. In addition, the UCP Series includes a soft-start circuit that prevents damage occurring to the power supply due to any power peaks in the AC voltage. By selecting only the finest components and including innovations like the soft-start circuit, Cooler Master has created the UCP Series to be the most durable desktop power supply on the market.
Of course, long lasting doesn't mean a thing if the performance is not up to snuff. To give power users the juice they need, the UCP Series comes in 700W, 900W, and 1100W flavors, and uses many of the same design elements used in high-end server power supplies. The UCP Series utilizes a synchronized power factor correction (PFC) control circuit with a single 12V switching design for extremely high efficiency. When combined two highly-efficient VRM circuit boards, the UCP Series offers power efficiency ratings up to an unprecedented 88%, greatly exceeding the 80 PLUS efficiency standard! By converting more energy into usable power for the system, UCP users can enjoy higher system stability and lower power bills.
Besides durability and efficiency, the UCP Series gives PC enthusiasts other reasons to rejoice. The 900W and 1100W models come equipped with two 4+4 CPU connectors, perfect for high-end two-way systems such as Intel Skulltrail. Up to six 6-pin PCI Express graphics card connectors and three 8-pin connectors can all be used simultaneously if required, and the 1100W model can even support 3-way SLI! For case modders, the UCP Series is encased in a unique triple-layer, scratch-resistant coating that gives it a distinctive, sophisticated look. And of course, Cooler Master stands behind the UCP Series with its industry-leading 5-year warranty. For ultimate longevity, efficiency, and performance, it just doesn't get any better than the UCP Series from Cooler Master.
