The V Gold i was created based on two design principles. The first was the fundamental design of a high-quality PSU. Cooler Master wanted to offer a top-notch power supply that would provide all the "bells and whistles" that a modern user may want or need for their high-end system. The second principle was control. As technology evolves, digital solutions enable monitoring and adjusting more aspects of PC hardware. This now includes power supplies. With its digital infrastructure, the V Gold i allows users to monitor and adjust performance in real-time through Cooler Master's free MasterPlus+ software.
