Cooler Master Elite 400W V4 230V Active PFC ATX Power Supply

The Cooler Master Elite 400W V4 230V Active PFC ATX Power Supply is a dependable choice for entry-level PC builders and office workstations. The quiet 120mm fan, 80 PLUS White EU 230V efficiency, and 3-year warranty deliver a PSU that provides function and resilience you can count on. It's the perfect option for work horse systems stored and operated in less than ideal conditions and climates. This PSU has been engineered for reliability with a focus on reducing random shutdowns in conditions where power sources are inconsistent and unstable, making it ideal for locations prone to experiencing brownouts. The Elite v4 is a complete solution, offering performance and stability at an affordable price. A power supply unit works by taking power directly from the wall or other fixed power source, converting it to the correct output required by the connected components, and then distributing that power to said components. If any part of this process is interrupted or executed poorly, the connected system components and the PSU itself could be damaged. Active PFC uses a circuit to correct power factor, leading to reduced total harmonics, corrected AC input voltage, and increased overall efficiency output. The new Elite v4 has a maximum operating temperature of 40°C. That's at the level of many 80 Plus-certified power supply units on the market today. This higher operating temperature allows you to power your system safely in warmer environments without having to worry about it overheating or shutting off unexpectedly. The higher heat resistance also reduces temperature-based wear, increasing the lifespan of the unit by a noticeable amount. This power supply unit can push out an additional 50 watts above maximum load for up to 10 seconds before turning off. This will give your system a chance to save data and complete current processes in the event of an output surge or overload. While it may not be a feature you'll actively need all the time, it can be extremely useful in an emergency scenario. The efficiency of your power supply unit is important because it directly affects your system's performance and your power bill. The efficiency rating does not reflect the quality or reliability of a PSU. It only reflects the unit's ability to move power from the wall to your components. The higher a PSU's efficiency, the lower the total amount of power it needs to power your system. The Elite v4 has a guaranteed typical efficiency of 85%. The Cooler Master Elite 400W V4 230V Active PFC ATX Power Supply has a 3-year warranty.
