Introduction

Coolermaster’s first Real-Power Power Supply was well received almost 2 years ago, with its 450 Watt rating it could be used in high end system without problem. Now that SLI and Crossfire has come along the 450Watt rating might not be sufficient.

So here we have an updated power supply from Coolermaster, 550 Watt and SLI verified, it’s time pull out the stops and see if it can pass our SLI tests.

nVidia’s SLI Zone has the Real Power listed as certified part for building your SLI system, that can’t be bad!
