When the memory SSD rises, don't install it. When the graphics card doesn't drop, it should be calm. I was sober, I couldn't help but use my laptop to strike intermittently.
It took me three days to estimate my installed configuration and cost. There was tears in my eyes. The only good news was that we chose a good value for money: Cooler Master MWE500 Bronze, Rated 500W, 80PLUS Bronze Certified, Cool Mother Quality With more confidence, the budget can be said to be the most conscientious part of the final confirmation list.
This review I specifically talk about this power to get started experience.
As always, the box is flipped on the side, with a refreshing cover on a dark gray background. The blue-green number 500 is very eye-catching. The COOLER MASTER faith mark is visible on all six sides. Tear-off film is used to take a front view.
80PLUS brass on the front lower right corner, multi-country voice on the back 85% power conversion efficiency, Quality assurance, Volkswagen midrange standard.
Several sides of the box are covered with multi-language descriptions and illustrations. The back of the box indicates the power supply. 120mm Silencio FP Low Noise Silent Fan , APFC+PWM Combination Controller and Dual-Collector Topology Architecture , Can increase power supply efficiency and stability.
The following figure is left: Detailed English power parameter list, indicating the power characteristics, such as: Wide support for 100-240V voltage, average failure time of 100,000 hours, etc.; It Yours (do it yourself, unique).
Out of the box, the top is a paper description, air bag wrapped power supply body, a lot of cables placed on one side, standard with a power cord.
The manual mainly includes the following four parts: power supply parameters, installation diagrams, interface descriptions, and warranty/attention. Among them, only the warranty/attention is in multiple languages including Chinese. The first three parts are all in English. Fortunately, most of the parameters can be based on diagrams and figures. Digestion, installation is not complicated.
Take out all the accessories. The air bag is very suitable for power protection. The cables are bundled together. Another 4 screws are found in the pouch.
The power cord of the mainframe power supply is the touchstone of the manufacturer's conscience. How do you look at this?
Close-up. Material is very thick, work in place, cable surface material has also been dealt with. In addition, the mother plug is a copper contact, plug life is guaranteed.
Let's look at the main body of the power supply. The whole body has a matte texture. The black metal and the chassis are wild. The side model and LOGO are printed clearly and the layout is simple and concise. The outlet on the other side of the lower right corner is also very helpful.
120mm silent fan is 5 leaf fan, single fan leaf is more silent; the central also has cold and cold LOGO; metal mesh cover is black and reflective, non-pure circle, but the square shape combined with the shape is very design sense. Warranty stickers, disassemble lost warranty, I will not dismantle.
This side has printed power parameters including 80PLUS Bronze, electrical environmental certification, bar code, etc. Combined with the specification we can know that MWE Bronze Series has 450W, 550W, 600W and 650W other 4 versions, 500W version of the model is MPX-5001-ACAAB.
The honeycomb hexagonal heat dissipation holes with dense end can work together with the silent fan to ensure good heat dissipation of the MWE500. The power supply comes with a bridge independent switch, which is more convenient for the host to completely power off.
Plug-in start, direct measurement of fan noise: stable without resonance, hand feel the air flow, the heat exchange capability is very reassuring.
Untie the bondage, check the cable. This price is not on the module, but more reliable. Interface is relatively complete, including 24pin motherboard power supply line, 8pinPCI-E line, 8pin CPU power supply line, SATA cable, large 4-Pin wiring , Also with a small 4pin that is floppy drive connector. The cable is wrapped by a snakeskin mesh protection, resistance to pull and easy to damage, near the interface also has a heat shrinkable tube fixed, quite satisfactory.
20+4pin power connector close-up, 4pin is stuck on the 20pin side, need to insert the plug at the time of installation. The white font printed on the black plug is big and conspicuous, the arrow mark is straightforward.
CPU power connector for the 4 +4 pin design, the old motherboard with 4pin foolproof. However, 8 +4 pin power supply can not get on, After all, this is a mid-range power supply, can not pull up.
PCI-E power cable has 2 pairs of 6+2pin connectors, which can handle most graphics cards on the market. For example, 6+8pin dual-powered graphics cards are very flexible.
The MWE500 bronze provides a total of five SATA connectors. There are three wires on one wire and two wires on the other. It can flexibly place chassis traces, and can drive multiple SATA hard disks, or connect the light control.
Workmanship is also remarkable.
Large 4pin connector 3 + small 4pin connector 1 are all on a cable, now has become the LED fan and LED lamp with power backing.
Installed three big parts purchased by the dog East, the motherboard is ASUS PRIME B350-PLUS, the initial purchase of CPU AMD Ryzen 5 2400G, memory uses two Granville XPG-Veyron DDR4 2400 8GB composed of two channels; initial installation of the test piece, First, it was not shown on its own. After the old CPU was used to update the motherboard BIOS to the new version, the direct screwdriver was activated and successfully lit up.
8pin CPU power supply close-up. It is worth mentioning that Later into the chassis, the length of the line is just enough to get around this line to ensure the neatness inside the chassis.
Afterwards, we started the first AMD 2nd generation Ruilong 2700x, MWE500 faced with this powerful farm rookie + ghost fan, the power supply is also more than enough. At this time the whole machine has been upgraded, can be accompanied by chicken alone microstar GTX 1060 red Dragon Gaming X 6GB, Wiring Test, Light up once.
Since then, it has been installed in the Cool Extreme Extreme Destroyer III Extreme Edition chassis. The top line is easily laid out, and the MWE500 bronze power supply has the best power to release.
Let's put a few more pictures to show. The figure below shows the replacement of a photo of a full-tower chassis when the water-cooled radiator was installed. The MWE500 Bronze card is still able to easily complete a regular top-line walk through the transparent side plate. Also saw a refreshing chassis internal structure.
The following picture is after some tossing, the end of April to complete the host's "set makeup photo", the chassis is still the Ultimate Cooler Extreme Destroyer III Extreme Edition, the overall configuration of the mid-range, thanks to 2700X support scene, I'm very satisfied, please The omnipotent pats the god machine.
Cooler Master MWE500 Bronze Power Supply Experience Summary:
1, 80PLUS Bronze Certification, Coolermaster Brand Strength Guarantee, Active FPC Wide and 85% Power Conversion Efficiency, Taiwan Series Capacitors No Shrinkage, Reliable Quality and Service Life, Even After Installation, Face Design Achievable.
2, 120mm fan is very good mute effect, cable material work points, although not full module, a full range of interface configuration is sufficient to configure the host home flexible assembly, cable length to meet the back line of most chassis, to ensure the internal space of the chassis Neat and clean.
3, The power supply is said to have a standby power consumption as low as 0.5W.
In short, the Cooler Master MWE500 Bronze Power is a 'standard for civilians', but it is working, materials, details of the design of the configuration, vaguely reveals the professional standards of the big brands, quiet and stable quality allows me to worry about the host power supply.
If you are also preparing for the installation, you may wish to try the MWE Bronze series, which is the most cost-effective way to start the event. It can be used as one of the alternatives for power products.
