Modu82+ has been one of the most popular power supply series ever. End users from all around the globe appreciate this Enermax PSU because it focuses on the pure essentials of power supply: durable components, silent operation and stable performance. No wonder that Enermax could sell this series continuously from 2008 until today. But due to the technological progress, time has come to say goodbye to the Modu82+ – and welcome the new long runner from Enermax, the Triathlor FC.

Triathlor FC: Eternal PSU Design
Enermax engineers entirely dismissed short-term market trends and concentrated on the development of a PSU design that will run over long years. The Triathlor FC is not a blinky poser. On the contrary, it comes in a classic black, downright ordinary housing. But don’t judge this PSU by its cover: The Triathlor FC is equipped with latest Enermax technology. The manufacturer has spared neither costs nor effort to develop a product that meets the highest standards in terms of performance capability and quality.

Rock Stable at All Loads
Unusual for a power supply of this price range is the integration of an expensive DC-to-DC technology. It effectively reduces the energy losses and significantly improves the voltage regulation. By generating the secondary voltages (3.3V and 5V) through the 12V rail, Enermax further saves space on the PCB and achieves a better air circulation inside the PSU. Interesting side effect of the DC-to-DC design: The power supply is able to keep stable voltages even at 0W load. This so-called “Zero Load Design” will solve compatibility issues with the energy-saving functions of modern processors and graphics cards like for example the C6 state.

Silent Cooling by Enermax
Thanks to innovative technologies like the patented Twister fan bearing, Enermax has built up an excellent reputation in cooling segment. Products like case fans or CPU coolers have become the second pillar of the manufacturer’s business operation. For some time now, Enermax applies the successful cooling solutions also in its power supplies. In this regard, the new Triathlor FC makes no exception: The manufacturer integrated a 12cm T.B.Silence fan that is actually one of the best-selling case fans in Europe. With its patented Twister bearing, the own-brand product guarantees a smooth and frictionless operation with minimum 100,000 hours life time. The smart RPM control of the Triathlor FC regulates the speed depending on the inside temperature and the particular PSU load. With virtually inaudible 500 or 900 RPM (depending on the model) right up to 50 per cent load, the new Enermax power supply will delight all silent PC enthusiasts.

FC = Flexible Cable Management
Triathlor FC provides a flexible cable management system with a lot of connectors to power all possible hardware configurations. Flat, decent black modular cables simplify the cable routing inside the case. Enermax provides at least three 6+2P (8P) PCI-E connectors per model and relies on a Multi-Rail design with two massive 12V rails that generate up to 99 per cent of the total PSU power. In this way, Triathlor FC can even support strong multi-GPU gaming systems.

Availability and Prices / New Triathlor 300W for Professionals
Triathlor FC will be available for sale from next week on. The PSU series includes three models with 550W, 650W and 700W. At the same time, Enermax extends the non-modular Triathlor series with one 300W version. This model is specially designed for the needs of professional system integrators.

Triathlor FC 550W (ETA550AWT-M): £84.90
Triathlor FC 650W (ETA650AWT-M): £94.90
Triathlor FC 700W (ETA700AWT-M): £99.90
Triathlor 300W (ETL300AWT): £44.90

You will rarely find a plain and affordable midi tower that meets the demands of high-quality and powerful hardware. With the entry-level case Ostrog, Enermax successfully overcomes the contradiction between functionality and performance on the one hand and price on the other hand. The manufacturer relies on a generous and flexible case structure in order to gain space for an effective cooling system and oversized high-end components. With a width of 200mm, Ostrog significantly exceeds the dimensions of other cases in this price segment. That way, the new Enermax tower easily accommodates CPU coolers with a height of up to 174mm. Apart from that, users can remove the HDD cage, so that longer graphics cards can be installed (up to 413.8mm length).

Luxurious Cooling System and Flexible Data Storage Device Management
An effective heat dissipation provides the basis for a stable system operation. In this regard, the Ostrog grants much room for an adequate customization of the cooling system: The midi tower hosts up to seven fans – one front, two side, one rear, one bottom and two top fans. One 12cm rear fan is delivered with the case. Screwless quick-release fasteners simplify the installation of ODD and HDD. Furthermore, Enermax includes a 3.5”-to-2.5” adapter, so that Ostrog supports the increasingly popular Solid State Drives (SSD) as well. On the top of the case, users can find one USB 3.0 and three USB 2.0 ports.

Two Colour Variants Available
Ostrog stands out by its clear and timeless shapes. Apart from that, the coloured mesh frame forms a good contrast to the completely black coated case. In Europe, the manufacturer offers two colour variants of the midi tower – with black (ECA3250-B) or white (ECA3250-BW) mesh frame. Both models are now available at a MSRP of 49.90 Euro / £39.90.

Two developments in audio market have influenced the creation of the first audio product from Enermax: Compact computer formats like notebooks and netbooks require the application of space-saving technologies and components. According to this, manufacturers rely on on-board sound chips that are in many cases badly balanced and cannot fulfil the expectations of music lovers. Furthermore the relevance of the bass in music has grown. The chart-toppers work with deep bass tones that cannot be performed by many on-board sound chips.

DreamBass™: Perfectly Balanced Sound Experience with Full Bass
With DreamBass™, Enermax offers an affordable and comfortable solution for users who appreciate clear sounds and deep bass tones. The USB audio device is shaped like a vacuum tube and accommodates a powerful VIA sound chip (VT1620A). It functions as a high-quality amplifier and bass booster. DreamBass™ ensures a better sound balance and creates a clear and finely tuned music experience. The device is equipped with microphone-in and headphone-out jack and – due to its two-channel audio chip – supports simultaneous recording and playback. The new Enermax USB amplifier will be detected automatically by the system and is immediately ready to use (Plug & Play).

DreamBass™ Genie (AP001) is now available at a MSRP of £23.90 incl. VAT. Enermax further offers a set of DreamBass™ with light-weight and clear-sound earphones (AP001E) at a MSRP of £30.90 incl. VAT.

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.

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.

Enermax extends it’s PSU portfolio with the new heavy-hitting high-performance series MaxRevo with 1.350 and 1.500W. The new series fulfils not only the requirements of the directive „SSI Power Supply Design Guide“ for servers, but it is designed especially for Multi-GPU systems and industrial PCs, as well as high-performance workstations. Equipped with six stable and highly efficient 12V rails this power supply delivers more than enough power for all modern server and high-end systems. A full modular cable management and further technological innovations top this high-end power supply off. For instance the „Copper-Bridge Array“ transmission technology replaces the traditional wires and pass the signal straight and with lower resistance. The result is: up to three percentage increase of the voltage regulation and higher efficiency for clean and stable DC output.

Enermax has optimized the topology of the successful Modu87+ and Pro87+ series and could reduce further energy losses by this way. The patented high magnetic power density transformer replaces the Multiple-Transformer-Design (two and more transformers), which was up to now necessary in these wattage classes, and ensures more space inside the power supply. As a result it comes up much better air circulation. Together with the higher efficiency and the reliable Enermax Twister bearing fan it guarantees silent cooling. The new FMQ-Design (Full-Zone Magnetic Quadrant Transformer Design ensures usage of four quadrants of the transformer – instead of until now only one) makes a peak efficiency of up to 94 percentage (80 PLUS® Gold) possible.

The New Enermax LED Fans at a Glance

Here you can find a detailed overview of the different Enermax LED fan series.

Recently, Enermax introduced the ATX Midi Tower Volcanus. Its characteristic flame design and high-performance cooling system is dedicated to passionate gamers. The new ATX Midi Tower Luxuray goes in another direction: It is completely black coated – inside as well as outside – matching with a high-glossy front made from black-transparent acryl which shows the light effects of the pre-installed Vegas fan to its best advantage. The patented circular LED technology with 36 diodes is equipped with an integrated circuit which enables to create three different colours (blue/red/green) and overall 14 light modes. In combination with the black transparent acryl front, the three-colour fan brings about a sensational effect: It reveals a kind of 3-dimensional view into the case – a successful optical illusion and a foretaste of the new Enermax LED fan generation, which will be launched until the end of this year.

Brilliant Cooling Performance
In searching for the adequate case to build a new PC system, the cooling performance plays an important role. As a manufacturer of high-quality fans, Enermax puts much effort in the development of an effective cooling concept. Luxuray is delivered with two pre-installed fans: While the Vegas front fan takes in fresh air through the vents on the bottom and side of the front panel, the integrated 12cm rear fan blows out the heat. Depending on the system requirements, the case cooling can be upgraded up to five fans. The installation of two side fans supports the fresh air supply; one top fan can additionally dissipate the rising warm air. According to that, the PSU is mounted at the case bottom and can be also installed with fan downwards. A micro filter prevents dust particles from entering into the power supply.

Easy System Assembling
Luxuray provides a variety of useful functions and mechanisms which simplify the installation of the system components. Thanks to quick release fasteners and thumb screws, the optical drives and expansion cards can be fixed without using additional tools. The 90-degree-rotated HDD cage helps to install or exchange hard disc drives comfortably. Furthermore, below the HDD cage users can find a retained space for 2.5” SSD drives. Tangled cables can not only disturb the air circulation inside the case, but also destroy the clean and perfect overall impression of every case. Luxuray is equipped with cut-outs to run the cables hidden behind the mainboard tray.

Revolution85+ is the power supply of the premium class to own, and with good reason: Very few high-end power supplies have ever sold as successfully as the Revolution85+. It is not often that experts’ reactions to a product are unanimously positive. As the first PSU to win two of the most famous product design awards (“red dot design award 2009” and “IF product design award 2010”), Enermax has continued its commitment to the successful range with the addition of two new models. The leading PSU manufacturer again refined and improved the design, and has invented a more powerful and reliable topology that requires even less space. At just 175mm deep, the housing is exceptional compact for this PSU class. It accommodates four incredibly stable 12V rails where each rail is equipped with an over current protection (OCP) and delivers up to 35 Amps. The combined power of all 12V rails offers 99 per cent 12V output capability. As high-performance graphics cards and processors draw their power predominantly from the 12V rails, the Revolution85+ is the first choice power supply for high-end performance and gaming systems.   

Forward-looking Design
Further areas of application of the premium Enermax PSU are workstations (multi-CPU socket compatible) and servers. The Revolution85+ complies with the most current standard available for server power supplies, following the official “Server System Infrastructure PSU Design Guide 2008” (SSI PSDG 2008) rev. 1.2. As in the consumer space, with these applications, the efficiency plays a major role. Most current processors and graphics cards come with effective energy saving functions. But these modes may cause a compatibility issues with power supplies, because the PSU has to ensure stable operation, even below 1W load. Therefore Revolution85+ is equipped with the “Zero Load Design” and anticipates forthcoming revisions of the SSI PSU design guides. Furthermore, due to the implementation of the new internal PSU topology, Enermax has reduced the energy losses at normal and low load by several percentage points: Revolution85+ now reaches a peak efficiency of 92 per cent (80PLUS® Silver certified).

Twister Bearing
Like its other current PSU series, Enermax has equipped the new Revolution85+ models with its Twister fan. The patented bearing technology not only ensures a quiet and smooth rotation, but is, in comparison to other ball bearing fans, designed to be much more robust and durable, offering up to 100,000 hours MTBF.

Price Advantage
The MSRP of Revolution85+ 920W is just 259.90 Euro incl. VAT, reduced from 295 Euro for the Revolution85+ 950W. The Revolution85+ 1020W will cost just 299.90 Euro (MSRP incl. VAT), down from 319 Euro for the Revolution85+ 1050W.

The air circulation and heat dissipation of netbooks is often restricted by the limited space in and around the small casing. Therefore, many manufactures develop active or passive cooling systems, which, under normal conditions, offer an acceptable cooling performance. Since summer is here and the ambient temperature is rapidly rising, though even the best cooling systems can reach their limits. As a consequence, essential components like CPU or graphics card have to struggle at unusual high temperatures.

Aeolus N14: Large-Area Cooling with in-built Silent Fan
Netbook temperatures can be significantly reduced by the use of a specially designed cooling pad. While there are many notebook coolers currently available on the market, most cannot be easily adapted for small-size notebooks or compact netbooks. With its Aeolus N14, Enermax has developed a cooling pad, which is specially designed for these small-size mobile computers. The virtually silent integrated 14cm fan ensures a steady stream of fresh air. The wide-area steel mesh offers not only an excellent thermal conduction, but also an unrestricted air circulation and well-balanced cooling performance. Visually, Aeolus N14 follows the elegant appearance of larger Aeolus. Four blue LEDs, elegantly integrated into the design, create a harmonious and delicate light. Due to its compact size and low weight, Aeolus N14 can be easily carried along with your netbook for cooling anywhere. It even provides one additional USB port to directly connect a mouse or keyboard.

Aeolus N14 is available now, starting from just 21.90 Euro (MSRP incl. VAT).

The perception of the noise level may be subjective, but it is – besides performance – one of the most discussed topics in international hardware forums. With T.B.Silence, Enermax has developed a product which exactly meets the desires of PC enthusiasts: a powerful and reliable fan (with a minimum 100,000 hours MTBF), which works stably, silently and at the same time, cost effectively.

On Silent (Bat)Wings
T.B.Silence adopts the distinctive batwings style blades of other Twister fan series. The special shape increases the airflow rate by 20 per cent without an audible difference. Another Enermax patented innovation is the three-piece frame. The aluminium reinforced structure not only reduces the vibration, but also improves the cooling performance due to the punched air intakes at the side. They provide an additional fresh air supply. At a constant speed of just 900RPM, the 12cm version reaches a considerable air flow rate of 71.54m³/h. During the development of the 14cm model, Enermax product managers drew inspiration from a completely different field of application: at an even lower speed of 750RPM, the powerful turbine blades achieve optimal cooling performance, while retaining their silent operation.

Twister Bearing Technology: The Brilliant Idea behind “Air Cooling by Enermax“
The Twister bearing is Enermax’s main ingredient in its recipe for success in the fan market. The smart technology not only ensures smooth fan rotation and long lifetime, but also reduces the noise level significantly. A small metal ball inside the rotor becomes magnetised and holds the fan blades in place on the shaft. That way, Enermax keeps the contact area and friction to a minimum. Furthermore, the bearing sleeve is made from a self-lubricating nano material, which prevents the loss of lubricant and guarantees a long lifetime of at least 100,000 hours MTBF. The other positive side effect of the patented Twister Bearing Technology is that the blades are detachable and can very easily be cleaned of dust.

T.B.Silence is available from now on and includes all popular sizes including 8cm, 9cm, 12cm and 14cm.

All PSU within these four series will be delivered with a free 12cm Enermax Twister fan. The anniversary fans work at a constant speed of 1,200RPM and are based on the patented Twister Bearing Technology, which guarantees an effective and silent cooling performance for every PC system. The special anniversary edition power supplies will be available for a limited period of six month.

"Power. Innovation. Design." These keywords are inextricably linked with the Enermax brand and they also paraphrase this year’s CeBIT appearance. The premium manufacturer presented several new products, so there was a great crowd at the Enermax booth.

Golden Power







The new ultra silent Modu87+ and Pro87+ PSU series occupied the centre stage. On five columns in the middle of the booth, Enermax presented the new gold standard for the most demanded 500 to 800 wattage range. Many users got in touch with Enermax to learn more about the new AC technology, the so-called “Dynamic Hybrid Transformer Topology”. It makes possible a peak efficiency of up to 93 per cent. Apart from that, Modu87+ and Pro87+ are equipped with a new advanced fan speed control, which slows down the rotation speed to just 330RPM to maximum 1,000RPM at full load. That’s practically inaudible!

Innovative Technology



Already on last year’s CeBIT, the Apollish fan series attracted many visitors. The patented circular LED light with up to 15 diodes and the high-resistant, glossy surface provide bright colours and great light effects. With new Apollish Vegas series, Enermax goes one step further: Users can switch between seven spectacular light effects. Apart from that, Enermax improved the luminous power of the circular LED light. The 12cm and 14cm models possess in sum 18 diodes.



At the first glance, the second new fan series appears virtually normal. Far from it. In fact T.B.Silence impresses by its extremely low noise level of 11dB(A) (12cm model) and excellent cooling. Like successful Everest and Cluster series, T.B. Silence is equipped with batwing blades and a HALO frame with punched air intakes, which improve the air flow performance. Finally, the patented Twister Bearing Technology guarantees not only a long lifetime of up to 100,000 hours MTBF, but also smooth and frictionless operation. That is why T.B.Silence will be also an optimal choice for all silent enthusiasts.

Apollish Vegas and T.B.Silence will be available in third quarter 2010.

Unique Design



CeBIT visitors have been witness to the premier of three Enermax case premieres: The main focus of attention has been the new big tower ECA5010. Its clear-cut design with honeycomb mesh front and with adjustable air vents on the top ensures best possible cooling performance. Apart from integrated 25cm side fan and two 14cm front fans, ECA5010 additionally accommodates two top fans and one rear fan. Beside this new flagship case, Enermax introduced two entry-level midi towers. Each of them appeals to a completely different target group: While the Luxuray with its elegant acrylic glass front is dedicated to admirers of stylish design products, Volcanus intends to be the new ultimate Enermax gaming case.

The new Enermax cases will be available in third quarter 2010.





Last but not least, Enermax presented some new peripheral products: The new ultra slim aluminium design keyboard Aurora Lite will be the legal successor of Enermax’ bestselling keyboard Aurora Premium. Notebooks are getting more and more compact, but often at the cost of worse cooling performance. That is the reason, why users are asking for appropriate notebook coolers. Enermax developed the elegant cooling pad Aeolus N14, an ideal cooling solution for ultra compact notebooks and netbooks.

Liquid Nitrogen and a Robot





On the Asus stage, right beside the Enermax booth, the Awardfabrik overclockers hunted new top scores. Thanks to the most stable and reliable power of the Enermax Revolution1250W, “Stummerwinter”, currently no. 7 in worldwide overclocking ranking at hwbot.org, finally set two new world records. More…

At the end, many visitors took a souvenir photo with the most striking individual of the Enermax booth: a 1.50m tall, 60kg robot, made of 133 Apollish Vegas fans.

More photos from CeBIT 2010...

The new Modu87+ and Pro87+ PSU series set new standards in the popular 500 to 800W wattage range. They offer up to 93 per cent efficiency as well as virtually silent cooling and will certainly occupy the centre stage of the Enermax booth on this year’s CeBIT in Germany. Building on its industry renowned reliability and quality, Enermax will also introduce its latest development: redundant PSU’s for industrial PC’s and servers. CeBIT visitors will have an exclusive look at seven new redundant PSU systems.

Solid Gold Power
The new Enermax PSU series Modu87+ and Pro87+ have already gained many awards from renowned international hardware magazines. The editors are not only convinced by the outstanding efficiency of up to 93 per cent (80PLUS® Gold certified), but also by the virtually silent cooling: Due to the innovative fan control, the rotation speed of integrated Enermax Twister fan slows down to just 330 RPM at low load, and 1,000 RPM at full load. For this reason, the Modu87+ and Pro87+ PSU’s are the best choice not only for cost-conscious energy-saving systems, but also for ultra-quiet PC’s. Three 12V rails ensure reliable and stable power supply.

The PSU Upgrade for the Demands of 2010 PC’s
Recently, Enermax announced the upgrade of its popular PSU series Modu82+, Pro82+ and LibertyECO. Users can identify the upgraded PSU’s by looking for the “II” name suffix at the end of the name. What has been changed exactly? All PSU’s from 400W upwards now possess at least two 6+2-pin (8-pin) PCI-E connectors, which will be required for the new generation of high-performance DirectX11 graphics cards. The CPU 12V power cable has been extended to 60cm and, in addition, Enermax has integrated two new features: “HeatGuard” for cooling and the patented “CordGuard”. Apart from that, the LibertyECO II series will be available with one additional higher wattage model at 720W, which will have its exclusive premiere also on the Enermax CeBIT booth.

Redundant PSU: Enermax Broadens the Scope of Business
Enermax’ PSU’s continually set industry standards for stable power, reliability and safety – optimal preconditions for the ambitious power supply for industrial PC’s or servers. Furthermore, Enermax has already built an excellent worldwide sales and service network, which is essential for flexible and quick response to customers’ demand. At the introduction of this new product segment, Enermax exclusively presents seven redundant PSU systems at CeBIT.

More details about the redundant PSU’s and other new Enermax products, you will come to know at CeBIT in Hannover, Germany. We are looking forward to meeting you:

Enermax cases are real eye-catchers. Sometimes they impress with their clear-cut and prominent design, sometimes with their pure elegance. But something all Enermax cases have in common: high quality, maximum usability and a well-conceived cooling system. The new cases, which Enermax will present on this year’s CeBIT, continue with this line.

The monotonous and boring cases, which bore the name “PC” a couple of years ago, have served their time. In our days, the design of PC cases plays an important role. Who wants to put a grey plastic case into his living-room or even take it to a LAN party? One puts emphasis on simple elegance, the other one is searching for a spectacular gaming case. On the Enermax booth at this year’s CeBIT, both will find their ideal PC case. Enermax presents two completely different Midi Towers and one high-end Big Tower:

The huge "FAN" logo made of 107 Apollish fans has been one of the most popular photo scenes on last year's CeBIT. Also this year, Enermax will show several attractions: Amongst other things, two new fan series will have its premiere.

With the launch of patented Twister Bearing Technology in 2008, the Enermax fan segment made the final breakthrough. Since then, "Air Cooling by Enermax" became increasingly popular. Enermax already offers a broad range of quiet and high-performance case fans for various customer needs. On this year's CeBIT, visitors are looking forward to the premiere of two new outstanding Enermax fan series:

More information about the new Enermax products, you will come to know on CeBIT. We are looking forward to meeting you:

Modu82+, Pro82+ and LibertyECO belong currently to the most famous and popular PSU series on the market. With the PC demands of 2010, Enermax has now upgraded these three series with several new and attractive features:

DXXI Ready!
In the face of the inevitable upgrade of many PC systems, gamers wanting high-performance DirectX11 graphics cards, require new demands of power. Enermax changed every single 6-pin PCI-Express connector to the upgraded 6+2-pin (8-pin) instead. All Enermax PSUs from 400W upwards possess at least two 6+2-pin (8-pin) PCI-Express connectors, which will be required for the new generation of DirectX11 graphics cards, coming on the market in 2010.

HeatGuard
As a feature of high-end series Revolution85+, Enermax introduced the “HeatGuard” cooling function. By keeping the PSU fan running for 30 to 60 seconds after shut down of the PC, it dissipates the remaining heat left over. HeatGuard offers an additional protection of system components and helps to prolong system’s lifetime.

CordGuard
Everyone knows this possible situation, especially on LAN events or in crowded rooms: while sitting at the computer, someone stumbles over the AC power cord and your PC shuts off suddenly. Enermax has a remedy for this problem: a small, patented metal clip. By clamping the AC cord tightly to the PSU case, it avoids accidental shutdowns of the PC.

Extented CPU 12V Power Cable
In more and more PC cases, the power supply is installed at the bottom. As a consequence, the distance between PSU and CPU socket becomes longer, causing the 12V power cable to stretch. Therefore, Enermax has updated its PSUs by equipping all new series with 60cm CPU 12V cables. This gives users more flexibility in assembling their PC systems.

Enermax 20 Years Anniversary: Free Twister Case Fan
20 years ago, a group of skilled IT specialists founded the Enermax Technology Corporation. In this new company, they had a vision: High-quality, high-performance and durable PC components for ambitious and high-tech oriented customers. Within a short time, Enermax had emerged into a leading manufacturer of power supplies, cases, fans and peripherals. The company possesses its own research and development centre, as well as two factories – an important basis for global success of the Enermax brand. This way, Enermax is able to ensure high quality, regular advancement and unique design of its products. As a thank you for the long-standing loyalty and customer trust, Enermax presents a Limited Edition of its new PSU series, Modu82+ II, Pro82+ II and LibertyECO II. From these three series, all power supplies will be delivered with a free 12cm case fan that features the patented Twister Bearing Technology.

The new Modu82+ II (625W), Pro82+ II (425W/525W/625W) and LibertyECO II (500W/620W) power supply series are available immediately. Upgrades of the remaining watt models will be available soon.

Ilya "TiN" Tsemenko from the Xtremelabs.org team has already gained international fame for his unique overclocking skills. Now he managed to set a new CPU clock-speed world record. By the usage of liquid nitrogen, TiN pushed an Intel Celeron D 347 to 8.20GHz – more than 2.5 times higher than official CPU frequency of 3.06GHz! To reach such an outstanding score, TiN removed the CPU heatspreader, which allowed him to lower the temperature up to -186°C. Not all PSU are able to handle such extreme conditions, but the Enermax Revolution85+ 1250W can. TiN: “The Enermax Revolution85+ provides extremely stable voltage – an essential condition to compete for new records with world’s best overclockers.”

Forum source with authors thread

Enermax sets new standards for most demanded PSU wattage range between 500 and 800W: Thanks to its new high-performance AC technology, the Modu87+ and Pro87+ PSU series reach an incredible peak efficiency of up to 93 per cent at 230V. Record-breaking results Enermax achieves as well with the patented cooling technology of new PSU. The path-breaking fan control guarantees optimal and silent running due to unmatched 330 RPM at low load and a maximum of 1,000 RPM at full load.

The Race for Highest PSU Efficiency
During the AC-to-DC conversion inside a computer power supply, a part of the power input naturally gets lost. The demand for the minimal loss allowing the most economical consumption of energy and resources has led to the introduction of the 80PLUS® certificate in 2005. Since then, PSU manufacturers have successfully reduced the power loss due to refinements in the latter DC stage of electrical transfer. One example is the frequently adopted high-performance AHD² topology of the Enermax Revolution85+. All current options for further improvements of the DC stage have been exhausted. For this reason, PSU engineers began to focus on the development of more efficient AC technologies. While a difficult task to undertake, manufacturers have struggled with high production costs or poor DC regulation.

Modu87+ & Pro87+ - The Clue
With new PSU series Modu87+ and Pro87+ Enermax’ engineers made the breakthrough: The Dynamic Hybrid Transformer Topology, a combination of three forward-looking innovations, significantly reduces energy loss on the first AC stage. It is based on a “resonant” topology, which is similarly already used in LCD monitors. But until now, this technology was entirely static and unstable to be translated into PC power supplies. Enermax worked to eliminate the static nature thanks to a unique, dynamic chain of capacitors and transformers. The groundbreaking, flexible AC technology is an optimal solution for the varying power consumption of PC components. Given this breakthrough technology, the Modu87+ and Pro87+ reach a peak efficiency of up to 93 per cent at 230V (80PLUS® Gold certified).

Background information about the Dynamic Hybrid Transformer Topology

Sensational Low Fan Speed
„Air Cooling by Enermax“ has built an excellent reputation. The Enermax case fans with patented Twister Bearing Technology are renowned for powerful yet silent cooling. No wonder, that the innovations of the Enermax cooling segment find a more and more frequent use in PSU too. The Modu87+ and Pro87+ series are no exception. The integrated gold-coloured Enermax fan guarantees smooth and silent operation. Moreover, Enermax developed a new patented fan control, which slows down the rotation speed to just 330 RPM at low load – that’s practically inaudible. Even at full load, the integrated 13,9cm fan does not exceed 1.000 RPM. Yet again, the Modu87+ and Pro87+ set new gold standards in performance and noise control for the ultimate PC power solution.

The modular PSU series Netzteilserie Modu87+ is available with 500, 600, 700 and 800W (MSRP: starting from 135.90 Euro / £115.90 incl. VAT). Non-modular PSU of Pro87+ series come in 500 and 600W (MSRP: starting from 119.90 Euro / £99.90 incl. VAT). The new Enermax PSU will be for sale from the end of January on.

Before buying a new power supply many users must face the question, how many watts they need for their PC system. The specifications of PC components are often not exact enough to calculate the power consumption of the whole system. Therefore users decide true to the motto “Better too much than too little”. As a result, users buy oversized PSU for their systems. These PSU reach maximum 20 percent of their capacity. Indeed, the most recent and high efficient PSU like the Enermax Revolution85+ with up to 91 percent efficiency, achieve such peaks at around 50 percent load.

PSU Calculator Saves Time and Money

The new Enermax PSU Calculator helps users to count the power consumption of their systems – reliably and exactly. It is based on a large and constantly updated database with all possible and available system components from CPU to graphics cards to case fans. Thus users do not have to waste their time to look up the power consumption of each system component. In addition they save money, because for most usual office and gaming PC systems 400 to 600 Watt are enough.

Currently everyone is talking about HTPC, the Multimedia centre which combines everything from television to internet to video games. The requirements for components or peripherals are totally different from these for a standard PC. The control of the HTPC should be as comfortable as possible and the design should apply to the living room environment. In this regard the Enermax Aurora Micro Wireless meets all requirements: an ideal combination of functionality and design, flexibility and high quality.

Unique Product Design: Winner of „red dot design award 2009“
The robust and high-quality brushed aluminium case with diamond-cut edges gives the Aurora Wireless an elegant and unique look. Therefore Enermax once again received the prestigious international “red dot design award” like two years ago with the first Aurora series. To offer most comfortable and firm handling, Aurora Micro Wireless is provided with ergonomic grips at the back side. Apart from that, the 2,4GHz wireless technology enables an operation range of up to 10 meters.

Multimedia All-rounder
The Aurora Micro Wireless obviates the need for an additional mouse and includes as first keyboard on the world all mouse functions. Integrated laser trackball, two mouse buttons, scroll wheel and seven additional hot keys make browsing and navigating much easier and more comfortable than before. Enermax even thought about the growing number of Windows Media Centre users: The function keys can be used for additional assignments to make a quick and direct access to the most important functions of the Windows Media Centre possible. Like all previous Aurora keyboards, Aurora Micro Wireless is equipped with patented “Scissors” key stroke technology, which guarantees smooth and silent typing.

The Aurora Micro Wireless is available from now on at a MSRP of 75 Euro (incl. VAT).

Already two month ago Revolution85+ 1050W gained prestigious “Custom PC Premium Grade Award” with an outstanding overall score of 92% (Custom PC issue 06/09). The popular British hardware magazine now published a big roundup test entitled “Monster Power Supplies on test”. 24 PSU had to pass through the highly specialized test lab of Custom PC. The Enermax Revolution85+ 1050W demonstrated again that it is currently the most powerful and advanced PSU on the market: “This is the very best the PSU industry has to offer.” Based on six massive 12V rails and the innovative DC-to-DC topology the Revolution85+ guarantees not only stable power supply of most recent high-end components but also an excellent efficiency up to 91 percent at 230V (80PLUS® Silver certified). And due to the patented AirGuard and big 13,5cm fan inside the Enermax PSU keeps cool even at full load. No doubt, the Enermax product developer did a great job: further “Custom PC Premium Grade Award” for the Revolution85+ 1050W.

“Monster Power Supplies on test” was published in Custom PC issue 08/09.

Outstanding results achieved Enermax with its modular PSU series Modu82+ and LibertyECO in big roundup test of Dutch Hardware.info magazine. 75 PSU of different manufacturers with between 350 and 750W have been tested.

As the best PSU for a basic PC the editors of Hardware.info recommended LibertyECO 400W. It reached 87,3% efficiency at 200W – which is an usual power consumption of ordinary PC systems. 44A, allocated on two 12V rails, assure stable operation of all connected components. The performance of LibertyECO 400W even surpassed some tested 500W models. Hardware.info rewarded it with “Gold Award”.

No tested PSU was more silent than the Modu82+ 525W – a recommendation for all fans of low-noise PC systems. The modular cable management does not only bring order into PC cases but also guarantees the compatibility with current and coming high-performance components due to one forward-looking 12-pin socket and three PCI-E 2.0 sockets. Modu82+ 525W in addition possesses three massive 12V rails and achieves up to 88% efficiency at 230V. No surprise, that Modu82+ belongs currently to the most popular PSU series in Europe. The 525W version gained the “Hardware.info Silver Award” in the mid-range PC category.

The roundup test was published in Hardware.info issue 2/09.

This year’s Computex was not only the platform for spectacular product innovations, but also the stage for the final of worldwide Gigabyte Open Overclocking Championship (GOOC) 2009. On the 3rd of June six teams from Belgium, Sweden, China, Australia and the USA competed for the worldwide overclocking crown. They qualified through last year’s edition of GOOC or through the preliminary rounds in 26 countries around the world. Enermax is sponsor of the GOOC and provides with its high-performance PSU Revolution85+ 1050W the basis for outstanding clock rates.

From European point of view the worldwide final of GOOC began promisingly: The two teams from Europe dominated SuperPI 32M session. Belgian team “Pt1t&Massman” took the lead with 6:40:187 min. The GOOC 2008 champions from Sweden “Elmor&Sf3d” came in second place. In the following 3DMark session the score board turned upside down: US team “Fugger&Vapor” and “x800pro&emolok” from China outperformed all. With 28.093 points “Fugger&Vapor” set a new 3DMark world record for GTX260 Dual Card SLI (PhysX disabled). Europe’s overclockers came in forth and fifth place and were finally beaten in 3DMark session even by “Dinos22&Deanzo” from Australia, who reached 26.977 points. Especially “Pt1t&Massman” had hoped for more after the outstanding performance in European final in Prague (see also the interview with “Massman”).

So after an exciting contest “Fugger&Vapor” can call themselves new overclocking champion. They are looking forward to a cheque for 5.000 dollar and are just qualified for the GOOC final 2010.

More about GOOC 2009

Who are the world’s best overclockers? This question will be answered on the 3rd of June during Computex in Taipeh, where the worldwide finals of the Gigabyte Open Overclocking Championship (GOOC) 2009 will take place. Europe sets its hope on “Pt1t&Massman” from Belgium, who prevailed in European final of GOOC in Prague over famous overclockers like “Hipro5” from Greece. Before his departure to Taipei “Massman” took the time for an exclusive Interview with Enermax. We asked him what he would recommend overclocking beginners.

To the interview

Computex 2009 opens its doors in Taipei on the 2nd of June. It is next to the CeBIT in Germany the second largest IT trade fair in the world and a symbol of the dynamic development of Taiwanese computer industry in the last decades.

The preliminary round of Gigabyte Open Overclocking Championship (GOOC) 2009 took place in several European countries – from Russia to Spain and from Sweden to Greece. 14 overlocking team qualified for European Final in Prague. Amongst others such famous overclockers like “Hipro5” from Greece took part. On the 24th floor of Corinthia Towers Hotel with a superb view over Prague organiser Gigabyte and the sponsors of GOOC 2009 Enermax, Nvidia and Kingston welcomed Europe’s overclocking élite.

Arctic Temperatures
As usual all teams started with identical components. Enermax powered participants with its high performance and high efficient power supply Revolution85+ 1050W. Apart from the optimal system configuration cooling of components plays a major role in contest. Improvisation and careful preparations of motherboard and graphics card for the extreme overclocking conditions are required. Due to the usage of liquid nitrogen the temperature near the CPU socket falls below -100°C. The contest began with benchmark session SuperPI 8M. With 1:29:203 min Belgian team “PT1T & Massman” took the lead closely followed by “Crotale & ME4ME” from Sweden, “Matose & Monstru” from Romania and Polish team “Ryba & Chaos”. By contrast favourite “Hipro5” and his companion “GPR Hellas” missed the chance to compete for the European championship title. The 8th place in SuperPI 8M was a bitter disappointment for the Greek overclocking veterans. Even the scores of “Midland Computer” from UK were not enough for a top position. Philip Brown and Peter Jones reached 1:36:281 min and finished in 10th place.

Two world records and a sure champion
After a short break the visitors of GOOC 2009 were witnesses of a thrilling 3DMark06 session. “PT1T & Massman” set a fantastic benchmark: 31.258 points – a new world record. That seemed to be the final decision of European championship. But Polish team stroke back. “Ryba & Chaos” bate the Belgian world record and reached a score of 31.326 points. But as the overclockers from Poland finished SuperPI 8M in 4th place the outstanding 3DMark06 result was not enough for overall victory. “PT1T & Massman” stayed in front with at last 25 points overall, “Ryba & Chaos” came second with 19 points, followed by Swedish team (16 points). The Belgians will represent Europe in world final, which will take place on 3rd June 2009 within Computex in Taipei. Furthermore “PT1T & Massman” look forward to a cheque for 2.000 Dollars. Although British “Midland Computer” could not keep in title race they did well in 3DMark06 session and picked up an excellent 5th place.

“Editor’s Choice Gold Award” from Anandtech.com, “Heavenly Gold Award” from Driverheaven.net, “Editor’s Choice Award” from Planet3DNow.de – since product launch at the end of 2008 Enermax high-end PSU Revolution85+ just gained a couple of awards from worldwide renowned hardware magazines. Britain’s hardware magazine CustomPC was the next in line to review Revolution85+. The Enermax PSU made again an outstanding score of overall 92 percent. Test performance of Revolution85+ 1050W was excellent: stable voltage and high efficiency even in one-hour stress test at full load. CustomPC editor James Gorbold concluded: “With its rock-solid stability, quiet fan and high efficiency, we have no hesitation in recommending the Revolution85+ for a high-end PC.”

The “Premium Grade Award” from Custom PC is a further recompense for the great efforts of Enermax’s product development and design groups in creating high-performance, top-quality and trend-setting products. After the successful previous 1kW PSU series from Enermax, which was the first 1kW PSU series on the market, Revolution85+ set the course for a new generation of high-tech and high-efficient power supplies.

CustomPC published the review of Revolution85+ in the current edition 06/09.

Hardware.info, most important Hardware magazine in the Netherlands, arranged a large roundup test of 122 case fans. At the end only three gained prestigious Gold Award – including 12 cm fan of Enermax Everest series.

“De stilste”
Temperature controlled Everest fan received outstanding noise level results: With 20,1 dB(A) at minimum and 20,9 dB(A) at maximum rotation speed 12cm model achieved top position amongst all tested fans – slightly more silent than 9 and 8cm models of Everest series. These successful results depend on the innovative bearing technology of Enermax fans. The so-called Twister Bearing Technology is patented and applies to a simple principle: A metal ball inside the bearing is the only point of contact between rotor and shaft. That reduces friction, increases life time (up to 100.000 hours) and guarantees a smooth operation. The bearing is made of a self-lubricating nano material which provides an additional abrasion protection. The blades are detachable and therefore easy to clean – a unique feature amongst the large number of case fans.

GOOD LUCK

It is probably the most extensive review about Revolution85+: German hardware website Planet3DNow! analysed Enermax’ flagship in every detail, right up to the smallest diode. Result: Editor’s Choice Award for Revolution85+ 1050 W. A distinction of high importance since Planet3DNow! awards only really outstanding and innovative products.

Numerous photos and explanations about interior life of Revolution85+ give proof of extraordinary technical skill of Planet3DNow! PSU tester. Above all he commends innovative, well-thought technology and high-quality components. A single chapter dedicates Planet3DNow! flexible DC-to-DC technology of Revolution85+: Main transformer primarily supplies most essential and high-performance +12V rails. As weaker voltages of +3,3V and +5V in real operation become less important DC-to-DC technology enables direct voltage conversion from +12V rails to lower voltage rails. That makes impressive efficiency results over 90 percent possible – like Enermax demonstrates with its Revolution85+ (80PLUS® Silver). Planet3DNow! measured even at 20 percent load up to 88 percent efficiency so that Revolution85+ is also an interesting alternative for lower PC systems.

Planet3DNow! introduces review about Enermax’ high-end PSU with a painting from time of French Revolution. A metaphor editor “Soulpain” takes up again in his conclusion: “The positive result depends on exceptional high efficiency as well as on good equipped safety guard. The PSU just then seems to be a real revolution. For a good result like that there is no need to withdraw to St. Helena.”

In Austria Enermax PSU Revolution85+ 850 W gained four awards at once: Austrian Gaming website Gamer-Network.com was impressed by outstanding performance and efficiency of Enermax’s high-end PSU. Furthermore, Testers highlighted exceptional silence of PSU fan. Even at high rotation speed noise level is with maximum 28dB extremely low. Basis for excellent results is patented AirGuard with aero-dynamical designed air inlet. It reduces air turbulences and therewith noise to a minimum. Enermax provides all PSU series with AirGuard as a standard feature. The PSU fans are temperature controlled. This guarantees optimal rotation speed, best possible cooling and constantly low PSU temperature.

With four awards at once Gamer-Network.at distinguished innovative and pathbreaking PSU series Revolution85+: Gold, Performance, Silent and Technic Award. “With Revolution85+ 850 W Enermax chose the right track: Fully developed technology, remarkable efficiency and exemplary manufacture quality.”

Yesterday red dot organisation officially announced results of this year’s „red dot design award“. This time even two Enermax products belong to laureates of renowned international design award: PSU series Revolution85+ and keyboard Aurora Micro Wireless were distinguished by their exceptional and innovative design. Wholly-owned design centre guarantees continuous improvement and development of Enermax products. Ideas and innovations of Enermax’s creative workshops set permanently new benchmarks on the market – from technical as well as from design point of view. “Winning continuously such major awards with true retail products and not with prototypes, which will never put into practice, shows the strength of our internal industrial design and marketing teams, their creative depth and devotion to develop cutting-edge products”, comments Steven Su, founder and chairman of Enermax corporation, the great success.

Profile of Enermax’s laureates

Revolution85+: Efficient high-end PSU of strong character
At the turn of the year Enermax launched its high-performance and efficient power supply series Revolution85+. Outstanding efficiency rates between 87 and 91 percent at 230 volt (80PLUS® SILVER certificate) Enermax’s PSU flagship set new standards in the market. Numerous independent tests and reviews confirmed excellent performance results of Revolution85+: “Editor’s Choice Gold Award“ from Anandtech.com, “Editor’s Choice Award“ from Overclock3d.net and “Heavenly Gold Award“ from Driverheaven.net. Amongst other things many testers emphasize unique design of PSU series. Powder coated housing with red framed cooling grid is not only showing the strong structure but also a real eye catcher. From John Lee’s point of view, supervisor of PSU team, the design award is a recompense for the great efforts on the development of Revolution85+: “PSU are typically considered simple and ugly steel housings full of power. We have created a true innovation which underlines our leadership on PSU market.” Revolution85+ is the first power supply worldwide which gained a prestigious product design award.

Aurora Micro Wireless: Compact dimensions, fantastic design
Aurora Micro Wireless continues successful Aurora series which has already gained „red dot design award“ 2007. Enermax again developed a product which meets highest design and quality aspirations.

Notebooks’ HDD and CPU have to resist high heat. But cooling performance of integrated cooling fans does not suffice for high working load and high environmental temperature. Enermax’ notebook cooling pad Aeolus finds a remedy for this problem. Even at usual working load many notebook cooling fans are running in full speed. Protection of essential components like CPU, HDD or battery against heat accumulation is insufficient. Everyone, who once worked with notebook on his knees, knows that notebook bottom side becomes really hot. Accumulated heat reduces system component’s lifetime. An additional notebook cooling pad could work wonders.

Comfortable silent, broad cooling
Enermax gained long lasting experience in developing PC and PSU cooling systems, which are widely known for their high efficiency and ultra silent operation. Notebook cooling pad Aeolus combines all of these advantages. Most cooling pads are equipped with three or more small cooling fans. Enermax Aeolus in contrast provides one 25 cm monster cooling fan under an air-permeable surface. Its advantage: The bottom side of notebook gets a constant and broad cooling. Furthermore rotation speed of Aeolus cooling fan can be adjusted manually. Already at 650 RPM CPU temperature decrease reaches 20°C. And even at highest speed up to 850 RPM Aeolus cooling fan operates comfortable silent with about 20 dB(A).

Eye-catching Design
Notebooks are not only practical companions during business trips, but due to its often exceptional design also exclusive eye-catchers. Ordinary plastic cooling pads could destroy noble impression. Enermax put a lot of effort in developing a product, which matches highest demands in design and quality. Aeolus comes up with a high-class and robust brushed aluminium case. The switchable blue LED lightning of cooling fan completes cool and timeless appearance.

Notebooks up to 17" wide screen fit with Aeolus (dimensions: D 295 x W 330 x H 45.5 mm). USB power supply supports portability of Aeolus.

Tips for do-it-yourself PC builder

Under the title "Make a wish" the German hardware magazine c’t presented tips for a fast, efficient and silent do-it-your-self PC. The hardware experts offer two building propositions - one for a gamer’s PC, one for an office PC.

In both cases c’t power supply recommendation is: Enermax Pro82+ 385 Watt. Silence, excellent efficiency and enough power to supply a quad core CPU and a high-efficient graphic card make Pro82+ to a first-class PSU for your first self-made PC.

The article was published in German c’t edition 24/2008.

Last Monday Enermax announced the launch of the new power supply series Revolution85+ for December 2008. Before starting the worldwide sales the US hardware magazine AnandTech.com took the opportunity to thoroughly prove the new Enermax flagship. And in his first independent test worldwide the Revolution85+ did a great job.

Enermax’ developers spend much time to prepare Revoluton85+ for the future. A worthwhile investment - as AnandTechs’ tester concludes: "It’s entirely possible that if you purchase the 1050 W model, you could end up running the same PSU for the next couple of presidential elections - and you can do so knowing your PC will be as green as a hybrid SUV." Though not only by the excellent efficiency (80PLUS Silver Certificate) the Revolution85+ provides advanced innovation. Also the so-called "Zero Load Design", which assures the compatibility with future PCU and GPU, as well as the generous equipment including four 12p sockets (for PCI-Express and CPU) and six 5p sockets (for peripherals) extended Enermax’ lead over his competitors: "Compared to units from our 1000W roundup last year, the Enermax Revolution85+ outperforms all of them."
