80 Plus Bronze Certification

It is important to understand what efficiency is and what the ratings actually mean. The efficiency rating indicates how much energy is retained or lost during the transfer from the wall to your components. It does not indicate the overall quality of the power supply. A power supply does not need an 80 PLUS Gold rating to be safe and reliable. And a power supply with an 80 PLUS Gold rating is not necessarily any of those things. The MWE Bronze V2 guarantees a standard efficiency of 85%, while being safe and reliable.

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 continuous 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 RPM 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 particularly useful for smaller cases and maintaining airflow.

The MWE Bronze V2 offers a simple, reliable way to power your system safely and efficiently at a low cost. The 80 PLUS Bronze efficiency rating, DC-to-DC + LLC circuit design, single +12V rail, active PFC, and temperature-sensitive HDB fan provide a power supply unit that stays true to its original purpose. This power supply will handle all your basic computing needs without any of the hassles or challenges of additional specialized features, software synchronization, or other bells and whistles. Just plug it into your system and get to work. For an excellent mid-level computing experience, you can't go wrong with the MWE Bronze V2.

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.

Connections:

  • 1x ATX 20 + 4-pin motherboard power connector.
  • 1x EPS/ATX12V 8 Pin (4+4) CPU power connector.
  • 2x PCIe 6+2 graphics card power connectors, to take advantage of modern GPUs in combination with your PC's capabilities.
  • 6x SATA power connectors for SSD or HDD hard drives.
  • 3x Molex 4-pin connectors for additional peripherals.
  • 1x Floppy connector.

  • Purchased in July 2022 for 43€. VFM. Stable with a Ryzen 2600, B450 motherboard, and RTX 3060ti. For the money I paid, I have no complaints. I don't push the machine with anything heavy beyond occasional gaming. Satisfied until today.

  • One fine and quiet. Of course, I don't put much load on it. The most I draw is 450W. I set it to 700W to have some margin

  • The little brother's PC was purchased for 55 euros. What can we say, it's a classic CoolerMaster with durable and sturdy construction, and of course, it has an 80 Plus certification. As soon as I installed it in the system, there wasn't a single issue, and it's definitely very quiet, you can't hear anything. The system consists of an i5 10400, GTX 1650, 8GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance 3000MHz, and a 240GB SSD
