  • 20.10.11 | ETD-T60: The Coolovation Part 2

    After the succesful market introduction of the ETS-T40 series, Enermax now presents the first down-flow CPU cooler, ETD-T60. Once again, the performance is reaching an extremely high level with a thermal resistance of only 0.12°C/W based on the smart innovations VEF, VGF and the new Crossed Heat Pipe Design. Enermax delivers the cooler with a 12cm PWM fan of the T.B.Silence series (ETD-T60-TB) or the eye-catching T.B.Vegas Duo series (ETD-T60-VD). Both models are now available.

    Vortex Generator Flow & Vacuum Effect Flow
    With clever ideas and technical novelties, Enermax brings a breath of fresh air into the CPU cooler market – in the true sense of the word, because the innovative construction of the Enermax CPU coolers significantly enhances the air stream conduction and heat dissipation. The manufacturer integrated small spoilers, the so-called Vortex Generators, on the fins of the new ETD-T60 cooler to lead the air stream closely along the heat pipes and to avoid the development of hot spots in the back of the heat pipes (so-called Vortex Generator Flow/VGF). By utilizing the difference in pressure between the warm air inside the heat sink and the colder air outside, Enermax further improved the air supply: The CPU cooler sides are not fully closed, so that additional fresh air can be sucked into the heat sink (so-called Vacuum Effect Flow/VEF). Both effects, VGF and VEF, have been proved successfully with the side-flow series ETS-T40.

    High Performance Capability with Powerful Twister Fan
    Another striking feature of the ETD-T60 is the special arrangement of the six 6mm heat pipes. Enermax leads two heat pipes to the one side of the heat sink and four to the other side. Due to this Crossed Heat Pipe Design, the cool and warm segments of the heat pipes are placed next to each other, so that the heat can be spread and dissipated more efficiently. The attached 12cm PWM fan with the smooth running Twister bearing provides the adequate cooling performance with an air flow rate of up to 147.30 m3/h. ETD-T60 is available in two versions, with the popular T.B.Silence fan (ETD-T60-TB) or with the LED fan T.B.Vegas Duo (ETD-T60-VD). Latter is based on the patented Enermax LED technology offering two different colours, blue and red, and eleven outstanding light effects. Vortex Generator Flow, Vacuum Effect Flow, Crossed Heat Pipe Design and a powerful Twister fan – combining these innovations and technologies improves the cooling performance significantly. The thermal resistance of the ETD-T60, one of the most important indicators to evaluate the performance of a CPU cooler, reaches a level of exceptional 0.12°C/W.

    Patented and Easy Mounting System
    The installation of the ETD-T60 is similar to the side-flow cooler ETS-T40 easy and comfortable. It supports all common Intel® and AMD® sockets (LGA 775/1155/1156/1366 und AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+/FM1). Furthermore, Enermax develops a useful mechanism to achieve the perfect contact force. The so-called "Auto-Adjustable Pressure Design" (AAP) is composed of a screw sleeve with an integrated spring that builds up or releases the pressure to ensure a firm and secure connection between cooler and CPU.

  • 17.10.11 | The Power Supply of the Royal Class

    Enermax crowns its product range with the high-efficient Platimax series. The new power supplies reach a fabulous efficiency of 90 to 94% at a load of 20 to 100%. Therewith, Enermax is the world's first manufacturer to present a 80 PLUS® Platinum certified PSU series covering the complete range starting from 500W up to 1500W. The first models with 750, 850 and 1200W are now available.

    The Hunt for Precious Metal
    The introduction of the international energy saving certification 80 PLUS® for desktop power supplies in 2004 has significantly changed the PSU market. Efficiency has turned into the guiding theme of the following years. PSU manufacturers quickly stepped forward and developed new technologies to achieve higher and higher efficiency rates. Accordingly, the 80 PLUS® organisation extended the certification system with Bronze, Silver, Gold in 2008 and finally Platinum at the end of last year. With its own R&D team and its own PSU production, Enermax plays a leading role in the development and market introduction of energy saving PSU technologies. Series like Modu82+, Revolution85+ or Modu87+ have won the most influential international awards and set new standards in terms of performance, quality and design. Also the latest Enermax creation, the high-performance MaxRevo series, continues the success story of its predecessors.   

    Platimax: The King of Enermax Power Supplies
    With the Platimax series, Enermax now enters a new PSU generation. Platimax already possesses the highest 80 PLUS® Platinum certification. The manufacturer successfully refined the technologies of the previous PSU series and increased the efficiency to a level of over 90% between 20 and 100% load. While the Platimax models below 1kW are based on an improved version of the "Dynamic Hybrid Transformer Topology" (DHT) that has been applied in the Modu87+ series for the first time, Platimax 1200W and 1500W make use of the powerful "Full-Zone Magnetic Quadrant Transformer Design" (FMQ) of the MaxRevo series. Enermax optimized especially the cooling system, applying high-quality and performance-capable heat sinks and installing a well-arranged and well-thought layout to avoid unnecessary energy losses. Like Modu87+ series, Platimax comes with a patented RPM control that limits the fan speed at low load to 300, 600 or 900 RPM depending on the model. Combined with the smooth running Twister bearing, the power supply offers a virtually silent operation.

    Powerful but Energy-Saving
    All Platimax models support the latest EU regulation for PC systems, ErP Lot 6. According to that, they consume less than 0.5W in standby mode. Furthermore, the so-called "Zero Load Design" insures a stable system operation at loads below 1W. Thanks to that, users can take full advantage of the energy-saving modes of latest CPU and graphics cards (C6 State / Hybrid Mode). As usual, Enermax uses a Multi-Rail Design with three to six 12V rails depending on the model. Each rail is equipped with a separated over current protection (OCP). For systems with overclocked graphics cards or processors, Enermax will introduce the Platimax 1000W OC Edition with One-Rail Design. It provides up to 83A (996W) on one 12V rail to reach best possible clock rates and get the most power out of the hardware.
