Installing the V SFX Gold ATX 3.1 is streamlined by its fully modular flat cabling, which is essential in tight cases where airflow is at a premium. The 92mm fan remains remarkably quiet under moderate loads, only ramping up during intensive gaming or rendering sessions. The build quality is robust, weighing 1.42kg, reflecting the high-grade internal components and heat sinks used to maintain stability in a 100mm depth. The unit is designed to handle peak power excursions effectively, meeting the rigorous demands of the ATX 3.1 specification.
Compared to standard ATX power supplies, the V SFX Gold offers a significantly smaller footprint without sacrificing the 12VHPWR support found in larger units. While many SFX units struggle with noise, Cooler Master’s 92mm fan curve is more refined than the 80mm fans found in older SFX designs. Against the previous V SFX Gold (ATX 3.0), this ATX 3.1 revision offers improved transient response and updated safety protocols for the 12V-2x6 connector standard, providing better peak power excursion handling and overall system safety.
