COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2008 We have just had our first look at the Computex halls and as we stepped in the door of Hall 1 we noticed that Enermax had most of their booth ready with products on display.

Enermax was pushing its line of 82+ power supplies and one 625-watt model was powering a server based system that you would normally think you would need a 1000+ watt PSU to operate.

Connected to the system were a grand total of 16 Hitachi SATAI 160GB drives, 16 x 512MB DDR2 Kingston modules, a GeForce 7950GX2 graphics card, four AMD Opteron 8212 quad-core processors and a high-end RAID controller for good measure.

With an amazing 82% efficiency, there is less power loss with the conversation, so you don’t need such a large power supply.

I love that PSU, rock stable and silent (fan never goes above 400RMP)

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

I like enermax, just a bit too pricey. I thought the price of my seasonic was steep but the comparitivly speced enermax was a good 30% more expensive, and seasonic is a high end brand in it's self.

As said, they're manufactured by Seasonic. Plus, well, no, they don't, I tried running my rig on a 520w Corsair and it failed to boot 9 times out of 10, and I've added extra kit to it since then, the old Enermax still keeps on going lol.

I'd suspect you all have 80Plus PSUs as it is, so the extra 2% isn't all that impressive.

ThermalPower 600.
