The V Gold i was created with two main design principles in mind. The first was fundamental high quality PSU design. Cooler Master wanted to deliver a top-tier PSU that would provide all the bells and whistles a modern user might want or need for their high-end system. The second principle was control. As technology advances, digital solutions make it possible to monitor and customize more aspects of PC hardware. This now includes power supplies. With its digital infrastructure, V Gold i allows users to observe and alter performance in real time via Cooler Master's own MasterPlus+ free software.
