The MWE Gold V2 (Full Modular) series features a host of upgrades based off fan feedback on the original MWE Gold series: The cooling fan has been upgraded with a new 120mm hydro-dynamic bearing (HDB) fan which is both quieter and more durable (150K MTTF). An increased safe-operating temperature threshold (0 - 50 degrees Celsius) makes extreme graphics settings far more reliable in terms of output stability. A half-bridge LLC resonant converter and DC-to-DC technology deliver better output (increased amperage), load regulation (reduced voltage drop-off at peak levels), and stability (avg. 40% ripple noise reduction). Dual EPS Connectors (4+4 & 8-Pin) enable greater motherboard compatibility (e.g. Threadripper & Intel X299), while flat black modular cables (16 AWG PCI-e for temperature control) reduce clutter, improve airflow, and remain aesthetically discreet. Low-power state ready: ATX12V V2.52 Windows 10 Modern Standby supported (ASM, Alternative Sleep Mode). The combination of 80 PLUS Gold efficiency (90% avg.), improved flexibility, and incredibly stable output makes the MWE Gold V2 an excellent choice for gaming PC’s with high-end hardware that demands reliable performance under high loading.
