The new Fulmo ST midi tower from Enermax hits Europe: In coming week, the manufacturer will start to sell the long-awaited chassis. The Fulmo ST is designed for the needs of modern gaming rigs supporting Multi-GPU configurations as well as a powerful cooling system and a performance-capable data storage management with up to ten HDDs or SSDs. Externally, the most striking elements of the new Enermax tower are the wide mesh areas on the front and top panels and the darkly tinted acrylic window at the side. The manufacturer will offer two models: an advanced version in Gunmetal Grey with two blue 14cm LED fans in the front and a basic black Fulmo ST edition.

Flexible Space Management
Enermax has developed a spacious internal structure which can be easily customized according to the system demands: The removable upper HDD cage creates space for high-performance graphics cards with up to 412mm lengths. In need, also the small 2.5” SSD/HDD cage at the bottom can be fully removed or mounted at another position inside the case. Fulmo ST is wider than the standard cases at the market. With a total width of 244mm, it allows for the installation of bigger tower coolers as well as for a lavish, hidden cable management behind the mainboard tray. The Enermax case designers have also considered the requirements for the integration of strong water cooling units and allocated enough room for 240/280mm radiators under the top of the tower. 60mm clearance will avoid any conflict with the mainboard – even if the radiator is fitted with fans (a fact, which is not to be taken for granted in many cases).

Cool Data Management
Cooling products from Enermax like case fans, CPU coolers or all-in-one liquid coolers are increasingly popular in Europe. Therefore, the know-how and experiences of the R&D department for cooling solutions have also influence on the design of the Enermax cases. Apart from the pre-installed rear fan and the two 14cm front fans (only ECA3270A-G-BL), users can upgrade the case with up to seven additional fans. Compared with previous models, the product engineers have significantly improved the HDD cooling system: Each hard disk cage can be directly cooled with two 12cm fans while two 14cm fans suck in fresh air through the front. In sum, the Fulmo ST accommodates up to ten 2.5/3.5” hard disk and solid state drives. Two USB 3.0 ports at the top ensure a quick data transfer with external storage devices. Last but not least, Enermax has also integrated the new patented Slide In™ mechanism for optical disk drives (ODD). After sliding in, the ODDs are locked automatically.

Availability and Prices
Fulmo ST will be available for sale from next week on. The tower comes in two versions: Gunmetal Grey with blue LED front fans (ECA3270A-G-BL) and Black without LED fans (ECA3270B-B). MSRP incl. VAT: 109.90 Euro incl. VAT for the ECA3270A-G-BL and 89.90 Euro incl. VAT for the ECA3270B-B.

UPDATE: Our PSU engineers have conducted in-depth tests with the forthcoming Intel® Haswell™ platforms and can now confirm the compatibility of further power supplies. All models that are mentioned in the compatibility list below will support the C6/C7 energy-saving modes of the new Haswell™ processors. Depending on the particular system configuration, it is possible that also certain older power supplies which are not included in our list will work with the upcoming Intel® CPUs without compatiblity issues. In any case, end users can disable the C6/C7 function via the BIOS to avoid technical problems.

Intel® has just released more details about the new Haswell™ processors. It sets new benchmarks in terms of energy efficiency. The new C6 and C7 states are able to reduce the CPU power consumption to just 0.05A while previous Ivy Bridge processors draw up to ten times more minimum power.

But the positive progress of the CPU technology is subject to certain restrictions, because only few power supplies will be able to deliver stable voltages at such low loads. End users are therefore groping in the dark with no clues if their own power supply will be compatible with the new energy functions of Intel® Haswell™ CPUs. PSU manufacturers usually do not state the possible minimum load of their products.

Compatibility of Enermax Power Supplies
As one of the technologically leading power supply manufacturers, Enermax makes a step forward and publishes a PSU compatibility list. All current high-end and mid-range models from Enermax are already prepared for the upcoming Intel® processors. They are equipped with a DC-to-DC converter which enables the so-called ZERO Load Design. These power supplies will deliver rock-stable voltages even at 0W load. Also the owners of older Enermax power supplies can be relieved: The manufacturer applies the ZERO Load Design already in all high-end power supplies since the Revolution85+ series which has been launched in 2008.

* Update, 30-5-2013

Enermax presented the latest and forthcoming products and innovations at the CeBIT, the biggest IT trade fair in Europe. Many end users, dealers and distribution partners took the chance to meet with Enermax and inform about the upcoming news. The main attraction has been the premiere of the first fanless power supply from Enermax. The manufacturer has set an ambitious target for the new PSU project: The passive power supply will be able to work at an ambient temperature of 50°C. Up to now, fanless power supplies stand around 40-45°C ambient temperature. To realize the new pathbreaking design, Enermax refines the high-efficient Platimax circuit. Furthermore, the engineers of the leading PSU manufacturers increase the total power of the fanless PSU to 650W - a new record in PSU industry. The passively cooled Enermax power supply will be available until the end of the year.

Depending on the particular system configuration and environment, end users need case fans with different settings and specifications. While for a silent PC, a low-speed case fan with minimum noise generation is the optimal choice, a high-performance workstation requires a powerful fan with higher RPM to keep the system temperature low.

New Twister Fans with APS Function
On CeBIT, Enermax presents a series of multi-purpose fans with adjustable speed range. The new Twister bearing fans offer three different RPM modes that can be selected with a small switch at the fan hub. That way, users can flexibly adapt the Enermax fans for various applications. For example, the new Cluster Advanced 12cm version runs with either 500 to 1200, 500 to 1500 or 500 to 1800 RPM.
In sum, the manufacturer plans to launch five different models with the innovative “Adjustable Peak Speed” (APS) function. After choosing the particular RPM range, the speed is regulated automatically by pulse-width modulation (PWM) or an integrated thermal sensor.

Premiere of the Second Liquid Cooler Generation
Apart from the APS function fans, Enermax will introduce the first prototype of the next liquid cooler generation and show two limited editions of the best-selling ETS-T40 CPU cooler.

The budget Ostrog case is one of the best-selling midi towers from Enermax ever. The flexible, spacious construction with its highly expandable cooling system has found a lot of followers. Hardware experts from all around the globe highlight the outstanding price-performance ratio and excellent quality of the Ostrog tower. Reasons enough to present an upgrade version for performance gaming systems. The new Ostrog GT appears much more aggressive than the entry-level version. Two 14cm LED fans in the front and a tinted acrylic side window emphasize the eye-catching design of the new Enermax chassis.

Sophisticated Cooling System
Like the basic Ostrog version, the Ostrog GT is predestined for a strong cooling system. The tower is delivered with three fans (one rear and two front fans) and can accommodate up to 10 fans. Special feature: Each of the two HDD cages provides two 12cm fan slots. That way, the case allows for a very effective cooling of hard disk drives. Apart from that, Enermax has taken into account the requirements of high-performance air CPU coolers and liquid coolers. The punched out side panel creates space for more powerful tower coolers with higher heat sinks (up to 184.3mm heights) and the elevated case top supports the integration of 240/280mm radiators.

New Patented ODD Mounting / Effective Dust Shield
For the first time, Enermax presents its new ODD installation system: The patented Slide In™ design works completely without screws or tools: Just push in the device and it will be fixed in place automatically. Apart from that, the manufacturer solves another important issue. Ostrog GT effectively shields the system against dust: All mesh areas are protected by filters. For the top panel, Enermax includes a flexible magnetic filter that can be attached in- or outside the case. Also the cable management system has been well thought out: There are not only a lot of clips and openings to hide the cables, the designers have also considered the request from many end users to have more space behind the mainboard tray. With 32mm clearance and the additionally punched out side panel also the thicker main power cables from the PSU can be hid easily.

Best Choice for Efficient Data Storage Management
The Ostrog GT can accommodate up to 10 data storage devices: Enermax provides two cages for the integration of overall eight 3.5” HDDs and one mobile cage for two 2.5” SSDs/HDDs. In case users want to install longer high-end graphics cards, the bottom HDD cage can be removed. That way, the tower supports GPU with a maximum length of 412.5mm. The Enermax designers also thought about an effective decoupling of the installed hard disk drives: Rubber pads on the HDD rails minimize vibrations. Finally, for backups or the transfer of external data, the Ostrog GT is equipped with two ultra-high-speed USB 3.0 interfaces at the top of the case.

Availability and Prices
The Ostrog GT with blue front LED fans (ECA3280A-B-F) is now available at a MSRP incl. VAT of £79.90 / 89.90 Euro.

Already in the fourth quarter 2012, Enermax released technical details about the forthcoming all-in-one liquid coolers. But after leading hardware testers criticized the noise generation of the ELC series, the manufacturer postponed the market introduction in order to revise the product.

Two elements of the coolers have been improved: The revision will include rubber pads that are designed to effectively reduce the vibration and minimize the associated noise generation of the installed fans. Apart from that, Enermax engineers refined the motor of the pump to ensure a smooth and silent pump operation. Together with the innovative Tri-Cooling Function, which allows users to regulate the RPM range of the attached fans in three steps (Silent/Performance/Overclock Mode), and the silent Twister fans, the improvements turn the ELC liquid coolers into the best choice for all silent PC systems.

The revised ELC240, ELC120-TB and ELC120-TA models will be available for sale from next week on. MSRP incl. VAT: 89.90 Euro for the ELC120-TB/ELC120-TA and 119.90 Euro for the ELC240.

Power Cooling for Multi-Core CPUs

Enermax proves again its technical leadership in cooling segment: After the successful market introduction of the CPU cooler series ETS-T40 and ETD-T60 last year, the premium manufacturer now reveals the first models of the ELC liquid cooler series. They are based on a completely new cold plate design and ensure a much quicker and more efficient elimination of hot spots. The applied Twister fans with the innovative Tri-Cooling function provide a durable and silent operation.

Quad-Shunt Channel – New Patented Cold Plate Design
Under the guidance of Dr. James Huang, Enermax engineers broke the physical bottleneck of heat dissipation within the micro-fin structure of cold plates. According to the fluid mechanical theory of the “Boundary Layer”, a part of the liquid will form a continuously growing laminar flow layer on the metal fins that massively obstructs the heat dissipation. By adding four shunt channels, Enermax successfully prevents the formation of the boundary layer and enhances the liquid flow inside the cool plate. Hot Spots can be eliminated much more effective.

Twister Fan with Tri-Cooling Function
As usual, Enermax relies on the durable patented Twister fan bearing. While the ELC120-TB and ELC240 are equipped with Europe’s best selling T.B.Silence fans, the ELC120-TA comes with two eye-catching T.B.Apollish LED fans. The new Tri-Cooling function of the Enermax fans allows for an individual speed range adjustment according to the system requirements. End users can choose one of three RPM modes: In Silent Mode, the fan runs with maximum 1,500 RPM and achieves up to 2,200 RPM in Overclock Mode.

User-friendly and Long-during All-in-One System
The liquid coolers ELC120 and ELC240 are based on a close-loop system with pre-filled coolant that is designed for a reliable and leakage-free operation over long years. Therefore, Enermax does not compromise on quality and durability. The robust ceramic bearing of the pump ensures a stable and low-noise performance. To avoid the evaporation of liquid, the manufacturer relies on a seamless tube made of FEP (Fluorinated ethylene propylene), a highly resistant and at the same time flexible material. A well-thought mounting system ensures a quick installation and perfect contact force with the CPU. The Enermax liquid coolers support all current Intel® and AMD® platforms.
