The efficiency of your power supply is important because it directly affects your system's performance and your electricity bill. The efficiency rating does not reflect the quality or reliability of a power supply. It only reflects the unit's ability to transfer energy from the wall to your components. The higher the efficiency of a power supply, the lower the total amount of power needed to run your system. The MWE Bronze series has an 80 PLUS Bronze efficiency rating, which means it has a guaranteed typical efficiency of 85%.

80 Plus Bronze Certification
The efficiency of your power supply is important because it directly affects your system's performance and your electricity bill. The efficiency rating does not reflect the quality or reliability of a power supply. It only reflects the unit's ability to transfer energy from the wall to your components. The higher the efficiency of a power supply, the lower the total amount of power needed to run your system. The MWE Bronze series has an 80 PLUS Bronze efficiency rating, which means it has a guaranteed typical efficiency of 85%.
DC to DC Circuit
Power is supplied at multiple voltage levels. The wall provides power at one voltage level, but your components need a specific voltage to operate correctly. The process of converting raw power from the wall to the multiple voltage levels your components need requires specialized components to complete this process quickly, efficiently, and safely. The MWE Bronze's DC-to-DC + LLC technology was meticulously created to achieve this goal. The Dual Forward circuit design is engineered to convert 12V power to 3V and 5V levels with minimal ripple noise, 80 PLUS Bronze efficiency, and reduced risk to your connected hardware.
Silent Operation
The ongoing battle between cooling and noise is as old as the consumer computer industry itself. Keeping your components cool without having to hear them while you work remains one of the biggest challenges for all fan-based cooling technologies. The MWE Bronze addresses this issue with a 120 mm HDB fan. The fan's hydrodynamic bearing creates less friction, making it ideal for low-speed operations. This technology keeps the fan running smoothly and efficiently for a longer period, maintaining low noise levels and extending the power supply's lifespan.
Flat, Black Cables
For many who have aesthetics in mind, cabling can be one of the most annoying parts of assembling a computer. Cables can be confusing, too short or too long, and almost never look good. The MWE Bronze uses flat and flexible black cables to help address these issues. These cables are more discreet and flexible, making them easier to install in your system while taking up less space. This is especially useful for smaller cases and maintaining airflow.
System Protection
The processes required by a power supply unit to receive power directly from the wall or another stable power source, convert it to the correct output needed by the connected components, and then distribute the power to those components safely can be fraught with risks. That is why it is important for a power supply to have the correct protections and regulations to ensure this process is carried out properly.
The active power factor correction of the MWE Bronze uses a specialized circuit to correct the power factor, leading to reduced overall harmonics, corrected AC input voltage, and increased overall output efficiency.
Protection Technologies
The MWE provides full standard protection (OCP/OVP/UVP/SCP/OPP) as well as built-in overheating protection (OTP). These additional safety measures minimize the risk of damage to your system from power interruptions.
