Continuing our ongoing look at the latest-generation ATX 3.1 power supplies,
today we are examining Cooler Master's V Platinum 1600 V2, a recent addition
to the company's expansive PSU lineup.

The V Platinum 1600 V2 is designed to cater to top-end gaming and workstation
PCs while offering maximum compatibility with modern ATX directives. And
while it boasts a massive 1600 Watt output and a long list of features, the V
is a workhorse of a power supply rather than a flagship; Cooler Master is
aiming the PSU at budget-conscious users who can't justify spending top
dollar, but whom none the less need a powerful and relatively efficient
(80PLUS Platinum) power supply.

So often we see PSU vendors go for broke on their high-wattage units, since
there's a lot of overlap there with the premium market, so it will be
interesting to see what Cooler Master can do with a slightly more modest bill
of materials.
