Conclusion

With the Silent Pro Hybrid 850 Watt, Cooler Master presents a very good power supply. More than 91.1 Percent efficiency at 50 Percent load is a very good value and as a result thermal dissipation power is low. This implicates a noise level which is low too because there isn't much heat to be removed by a fan. Always practical is a cable management and furthermore we like the number of integrated cables. There really is enough in the delivery to make any enthusiast happy.

A cable management is always a good thing because of the simple reason that it allows the user to only connect the cables really needed to wire a system as neatly as possible. With five molex connectors and twelve SATA connectors it shouldn't be a problem to wire an absolute high-end system. Also the fact that you can natively connect a three-way-SLI/Crossfire setup shows the Silent Pro Hybrid preferred area of application.

If we look at the performance values, the Cooler Master Silent Pro Hybrid 850 Watt shows very good stability under load conditions. If we look at average deviations, we see that they are very low on all rails. Therefore the power supply does it's job in a rock solid manner.

For the Cooler Master Silent Pro Hybrid 850 Watt receives very good five out of five stars.
