Power supply (PSU)

Good7/10Mid-range

Cooler Master's PSU range runs from forgettable budget units to strong high-end models. The current MWE Gold and V series are reasonable picks; check reviews for the exact model, as older and cheaper lines drag down the brand.

Good at

  • MWE Gold V3 is a widely stocked, low-cost Gold unit
  • V Platinum and X Mighty cover high-end builds
  • V SFX Gold is a good small-form-factor option

Weak at

  • Older MWE Bronze and Elite units rank low on tier lists
  • Fan noise on some budget models
  • Quality varies more by series than at Seasonic

PC case

Good7/10Mid-range

Cooler Master has a huge, varied case range with some clever designs like the Qube 500 and NCore 100 Max. Mainstream models are fine but rarely beat the leaders. Check reviews of the specific case.

Good at

  • Qube 500 flatpack is modular and cheap
  • NCore 100 Max is a compact case with PSU and cooler included
  • HAF 700 suits huge full-tower builds

Weak at

  • Some models lag Fractal and Lian Li for airflow
  • Wide range with uneven quality
  • Flatpack builds take more assembly time
