Cooler Master V1200 Platinum 1200W Review

Over Power Protection and Max Wattage

Power supplies often quote as having various protection mechanisms such and the most important of these is Over Power Protection. In our testing we crank up the power draw until the power supply either shuts down (meaning the OPP mechanism is present and working) or blows up (meaning it is either not present or not working). We then note the maximum power consumption before the power supply shut down (or blew up).

The Cooler Master V1200 seems capable of providing significantly more power than it is rated for, it passed our OPP test with flying colours. The V1200 managed to post an impressive total of 1761 watts before shutting down safely.
