Conclusions
Why manufacturers like Cooler Master are still carrying power supplies with fake wattages is a mystery to us. We know that this is a very low-end power supply, but this doesn’t give the manufacturer the right to lie. This unit should be labeled as a 450 W unit and sold for half of its price. Being labeled as a 600 W product and sold for USD 70, it is a complete rip-off.
If you pull more than 450 W from this product, it will offer real risk to your computer, plus it provides poor efficiency, between 69.2% and 77.6%. If you are looking for an inexpensive yet decent power supply, get an OCZ StealthXStream 500 W. It costs less than this Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus and presents better performance.

I would not want that power supply. If the above does not scare you off, it should.

Instead of a cheap, falsely labeled power supply, I would like to suggest some high quality units:

SeaSonic S12II 620W 80+ Bronze Certified Non-Modular ATX Power Supply $64.99

SeaSonic M12II 620W SLI Ready 80+ Bronze Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply $79.99

XFX Core Edition 850W 80+ Bronze Certified Non-Modular ATX Power Supply $84.99 - $35.00 mail in rebate = $49.99
