We're pleased to introduce some new lines in the Cougar CMD series, namely the 500W and 600W. These units offer a digital platform in which to enrich your PSU experience, with detailed records of power data, output, performance, temperature and more. Both units offer an 80+ Bronze certified efficiency, and both are semi modular too for less cable clutter.

The stock will land early next week. Considering the huge price premium charged by most other brands for their digital platform, it's refreshing to see that Cougar have offered some more affordable options into the market!

With COUGAR’s new generation of power supply units, the PSU is not anymore a cold metal box. The COUGAR CMD series allows the user to interact with and configure his PSU, and use it to monitor, protect and gain extra knowledge about other components from his PC. Gamers will be able to monitor and control a broad number of variables. The COUGAR CMD series bring you an unprecedented level of monitoring, optimization and customization.

Features
- EXTREME INTERACTION: Adjust all voltage levels and keep them stable under different operating conditions:Fine tune your power supply!

- EXTREME INTEGRATION: Monitoring of all aspects of the system; complete information about your PC.
- EXTREMELY HIGH EFFICIENCY: 80-PLUS® Bronze certified: Provides up to 88% of efficiency. Less Cost, Less Heat, Less Problems.
- LIFELONG OPERATION LOG: Helps you to review all the operating conditions in a specific operating period, including Power Efficiency, Voltage, Fan Speed and many more.
- 2 CASE FANS WITH ADJUSTABLE SPEED: This PSU supports (not included) up to two case fans connected to it and allows the user to adjust their speed through the COUGAR UIX software.
- INSTANT SCREENSHOT FUNCTION: Conveniently and Quickly capture the on-screen information with a single click, allowing you to keep record of any specific graph that is relevant to you.
- ELECTRIC CONSUMPTION COST ESTIMATION: This function allows you to estimate your computer’s energy consumption and, according to the data you provide, estimate its cost.
- ADVANCED MODULAR CABLE MANAGEMENT: Simplifies Cable Management, thus improving ventilation, reducing air friction and maximizing airflow.
-ULTRA-QUIET & TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED 140MM: Extremely low noise level, with fan speed automatically governed according to the PSU temperature.
- 105°C JAPANESE CAPACITORS: Best reliability and 4 times the lifespan of conventional 85ºC rated capacitors.
- DC - DC TECHNOLOGY: DC.- DC technology provides the highest efficiency level, most stable performance, and most accurate regulation, always within +/- 3% of the selected voltage.
- SINGLE 12V RAIL FOR STABLE OVERCLOCKING PERFORMANCE: With the Holistic Protection Mechanism, the single 12V rail arrangement will allow for high and stable overclocking performance.
- FLAT & MODULAR CABLES: A simpler cable management which allows you to minimize the number of cables, using only those which are needed. This improves ventilation, reduces air friction and maximizes airflow, as well as making installation simpler and neater.
- FULL PROTECTIONS WITH OCP, SCP, OVP, UVP, OPP

Cougar are a brand doing a fair amount of good products.

only recently introduced to ocuk but the response has been great so far.

Cases, tend to be on the affordable side with appealing designs for gamers.

Peripherals, well designed and incredible value for money as they use high performance sensors and switches.

PSU, tend to use fairly solid and respected components and are well priced for what is on offer.
 
Not what I'd call affordable but certainly great to see some low power modular PSUs.

Also the flat cables are a nice addition ;)
 
Shame the larger units do not offer the same software tools. Are we likely to see those features on other products from them you will stock?
 
I believe HEC is the oem for their psu's.

Personally I can't see them taking off. They have some pretty stiff competition in the form of the EVGA GS550/650, G2 650 and Superflower Leadex Gold 550/650 and while the promotions is on also the Leadex Platinum 550w. All have a better 80+ rating and from better oem's. The only thing the Cougar's have going for them is the software and that's just a gimmick really. I would rather have the EVGA or Superflower units anyday.

As with most gimmicks, it has a market, otherwise other brands wouldn't be readying their versions too. Agreed that HEC do not stand up to SuperFlower, but they are solid enough and providing what are the best priced digital PSU's in the UK.
