Cougar Silver S550 550W (PSU)

Tecnical details and special features

• SUPPORTS THE NEWEST SPECIFIATIONS OF ATX12V & EPS12V
  Created for usage with current and next‐generation multi‐core CPU and GPU platforms.
• EXTREMELY HIGH EFFICIENCY
  Up to 90% of efficiency, compliant with 80-PLUS SILVER efficiency requirement .
• HIGH PERFORMANCE AT 50°C
  Non-stop high performance at 50°C/122°F ambient temperature.
• FAN DELAY OFF DESIGN
  Keeping PSU fan running after shut down to dissipate the remaining system heat and prolonging system lifetime.
• HIGHEST DURABLE & RELIABLE JAPANESE 105°C AND SOLID CAPACITORS
  The best solution for a High-End PSU by using Japanese 105°C capacitors and the solid capacitors for 12Vs.
• DC-DC TECHNOLOGY
  DC-DC technology provides highest efficiency, most stable performance, and perfect regulation.
• ULTRA-QUIET & TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED 140mm FAN
  Extremely Low Noise Level, equipped with a large and ultra-quiet 140mm fan, which adapts its rotating speed to the PSU temperature. Even on its highest rotating level the fan is still quiet enough to be barely noticeable.
• INDEPENDENT CIRCUITS
  Each different output voltage has its own internal switching and is protected against overloading and under-loading through multiple safeguards. Therefore, the output voltages are considerably more stable and subject to far smaller voltage noises, bringing them much closer to their ideal values.
• DYNAMIC LOAD DISTRIBUTION 12V
  Automatic dynamic load distribution on the 12V line. If you are not using all output lines, the PSU automatically reroutes needed power from unused lines. This improves the performance of the 12V lines considerably for systems with high-end graphics cards in SLI® or CrossFire® mode.
• FLEXIBLE CABLE MANAGEMENT
  The cables for the disk drives and/or graphics cards always have on one end an 8-point plug, which fits directly into the PSU. Make sure to match the colors of the plug and the connector: red with red, black with black. On the other end of the cables you will find the plugs to the respective components. For more information on the correct installation of your components please read the respective manuals of the manufacturers.

 

EXTREMELY HIGH EFFICIENCY (80 Plus SILVER CERTIFICATION)

   

Up to 90% of efficiency, compliant with 80-PLUS® SILVER efficiency requirement . Due to the extremely high efficiency of the COUGAR® S-series you can reduce your electricity costs in spite of high performance.

 

HIGHEST DURABLE & RELIABLE JAPANESE 105°C AND SOLID CAPACITORS

The best solution for a High-End PSU by using Japanese 105°C capacitors and the solid capacitors for 12Vs.

DC-DC TECHNOLOGY

DC-DC technology provides highest efficiency, most stable performance, and perfect regulation.

ULTRA-QUIET & TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED 140mm FAN

Extremely Low Noise Level, equipped with a large and ultra-quiet 140mm fan, which adapts its rotating speed to the PSU temperature. Even on its highest rotating level the fan is still quiet enough to be barely noticeable.

 

Better CFM(Cubic Feet per Minute) means fan can provide better air flow and cooling performance.
14cm and 12cm fan can provide much better CFM just require low rpm than 8cm fan, therefore, 14cm fan is much better cooling performance, but is extremely low noise and longer life of the fan.

INDEPENDENT CIRCUITS

Each different output voltage of the COUGAR®-PSU has its own internal switching and is protected against overloading and underloading through multiple safeguards.
All PSUs of the COUGAR®-PSU have an automatic dynamic load distribution on the 12V line. If you are not using all output lines, the PSU automatically reroutes needed power from unused lines. This improves the performance of the 12V lines considerably for systems with high-end graphics cards in SLI® or CrossFire® mode.

FLEXIBLE CABLE MANAGEMENT

The cables for the disk drives and/or graphics cards always have on one end an 8-point plug, which fits directly into the PSU. Make sure to match the colors of the plug and the connector: red with red, black with black. On the other end of the cables you will find the plugs to the respective components.
