A few weeks ago an email popped into our inbox from Cooler Master's European HQ at Venlo in the Netherlands asking if we would like to go and have a look around their facility, and also offering us the use of their very extensively (and expensively!) equipped PSU Test Lab. It was suggested that whilst there we might also like to take a look at their brand new range of PSU's - the Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold Series which were officially announced only a few days ago on the 1st June!

Power Supplies are difficult things to test. We at Vortez Hardware have done several reviews of PSU's and have a certain amount of equipment available to us for this very purpose, but to really fully test a PSU needs literally thousands of pounds worth of bench testing equipment - basically a permanent lab set-up dedicated to this one task, and that is something that few review sites can boast. So this opportunity to go and get acquainted with some of the best testing equipment currently available today was heaven sent!
