Coolermaster is a long-established brand in cases, associated originally with high-end aluminum designs. Today, the brand's product range includes heatsinks, cases of both aluminum and/or steel, as well as power supplies and many other computer peripherals. It is one of the biggest case brands in the retail market. Four separate power supply series are offered: Real Power, Silent Pro, iGreen, and eXtreme Power. The M700W is the top of the Silent Pro range; the other models are 500W and 600W rated.
Coolermaster Silent Pro M700W Feature Highlights (from the Coolermaster web site)

| FEATURE & BRIEF |
Our Comment |
|
The single rail is with up to 50A on the 12V rail, delivers where it counts and won't have any problems powering even the most demanding SLI
|
OK |
|
Flat modularized cable design to eliminate clutter and improve airflow inside the chassis
|
OK |
| Energy efficient design that meets 80 Plus requirements |
80 Plus certified is not exceptional now. Coolermaster does have three models in both Bronze and Silver 80 Plus categories, but this model is not one of them. |
| Two 6+2 pin PCI-e connectors for multiple graphic card set up |
Standard for a 700W model. |
Protection: OVP / UVP / OCP / OPP /OTP / SCP / OLP
|
Fairly standard. |
| Compliant with Intel standard Intel ATX12V V2.3 & SSI EPS 12V V2.91 |
OK |
| Green power design that meets energy star, blue angel requirements |
Expected in a high-end PSU. |
Super silent operation with intelligent 135mm fan speed control
|
We'll find out. |
Copper + aluminum heat sink design which results in more efficient heat transfer and dissipation.
|
OK. It's a difficult claim to confirm. |
Japanese-made capacitors .
|
Presumably the high quality ones. |
| Unique silicon pad eliminate the vibration between PSU and chassis |
It's an interesting accessory, adds to the "Silent" marketing. |
