Cooler Master GX 550W PSU: Gamer Best Friend



Dear rekan-rekan. Baru saja launching Power Supply baru dari Cooler Master dengan nama GX Series. GX maksudnya adalah Gamer Xtreme. Power Supply ini bertipe non-modular, compact, full power, single rail 12V design dan udah 80Plus certified boss, bukan asal tempelan sticker. Efisiensi yang diklaim oleh Cooler Master mencapai 85%. Ada 3 seri GX, 750W, 650W dan 550W. Garansi PSU Cooler Master di Indonesia adalah 5 tahun dengan one to one replacement 1 tahun.

Yang mau gwe coba adalah seri 550W dengan kisaran harga retail 80$. Dari harganya memposisikan bahwa power supply GX ditujukan untuk gamer yang ingin memakai PSU berkualitas namun bersahabat dengan dompet.

Gambar 4: 6+2 pin PCI-E untuk VGA yang membutuhkan 8 pin, total 2x 6+2


Gambar 5: SATA (x6) dan 4 Pin (x3)


Gambar 6: Panjang 4 pin CPU kabel

Bagi yang memakai casing dengan layout PSU di bawah pasti ada perasaan khawatir kalau-kalau 4pin CPU tidak sampai coz kabel kurang panjang kan boss. Ini gwe head to head ama kabel 4pin CPU seri Silent Pro. Ternyata GX punya kabel sedikit lebih panjang. Kalau Silent Pro mulus dipasang dengan layout PSU di bawah, maka GX ini tentu lebih dari cukup.

System Test
- Cooler Master Power Supply GX 550W
- Intel Core 2 Quad Q9640 @ 4.0 Ghz
- Cooler Maser Hyper TX-3 CPU Cooling
- ASUS P5Q Premium
- Sapphire HD 5870 Vapor-X
- G.Skill 2x1GB PC8500
- Seagate 500GB HDD
- Samsung P2370 LCD
- Krisbow digital multimeter

Disclaimer:
Test bacaan rail berpatokan pada hardware multimeterdigital karena lebih akurat daripada bacaan dari aplikasi software monitor


Gambar 11: Test bed


Gambar 12: Overclock

Hyper TX-3 cooling CPU paling value dari Cooler Master mampu menemani Q9650 di 4Ghz boss. Karena ini PSU berlabel Gamer Xtreme, gwe pikir Q9650 air cooling 4Ghz udah bisa kasih performa sangat maximal untuk sekedar bermain game. Sebelum test, kita liat dulu rail pada kondisi idle. Ntar pada saat sesi test, gwe cuma mau focus pada rail 12V karena processor, vga dan hdd lewat jalur ini.

Gambar 16: CPU OCCT + Furmark

Poto rail 12V gwe ambil saat Q9650 4GHz + HD5870 disiksa OCCT plus Furmark! Desain single rail GX memang cocok buat Gamer Xtreme gan.



Gambar 17: 3DMark Vantage poto 1


Gambar 18: 3DMark Vantage poto 2


Gambar 19: 3DMark Vantage Score + 12V idle after 3DMark

Scorenya dapet P17200 boss. Intel Yorkield LGA775 4Ghz + HD 5870. Ripple rail 12V berdasarkan bacaan hardware multimeter kalau gwe itung make calculator dari idle ke load Vantage sekitar 0.7%.

Worst scenario with OCCT PSU Test
Test terakhir buat GX 550W dengan PSU Test dari OCCT, Linpack Intel Burn Test + GPU stress yang menyiksa PSU lebih extreme. Tapi untuk rekan-rekan gamer gak perlu main beginian karena toh game tidak akan seextreme ini. Gwe sih sebenarnya gak terlalu resah ama PSU GX ini, tapi lebih resah ke suhu processor Q9650 4GHz dipanggang Linpack Intel Burn Test gan. Untung cooling entry level Hyper TX-3 masih bisa menghandle.

Bongkar-bongkar GX 550W
Disclaimer: PSU Cooler Master ini bergaransi 5 tahun dengan one to one replacement pada tahun pertama. Garansi tidak berlaku apabila label garansi rusak. Untuk itu rekan-rekan dilarang membongkar PSU agar garansi selalu valid berlaku.

Demi kepentingan share informasi, maka gwe kasih bonus dalemannya boss. Hanya sebagai informasi. Komponen yang kayak gimana sih yang bikin GX ini kuat?

Gambar 28: Top view

PSU GX ini memiliki Heatsink yang bisa beroperasi lebih dari cukup untuk menahan suhu PSU di bawah 40C sesuai dengan label spec Operation Temp: 0 – 40C.

Seventeam yang seri hi-end/server memang bagus, tapi saya nggak tahu yang ini bagus apa nggak, karena platform yang dipake GX adalah platform low-end dari Seventeam. udah ada yang liat review 750W di HW secrets belum? buatan Seventeam yang terkenal gahar itu Silverstone Element ST75EF 750W, saingannya TX750 sama OCZ/PCP&C Silencer 750W tuh.
