Enermax Releases New Power Supplies

February 19, 2008 by Jeff Shepard

Enermax has released its MODU82+ & PRO82+ as the successors to its "Liberty DXX" series of power supplies. The company claims that it is setting new benchmarks for the PC PSU industry by reaching 82-88% efficiency with all of the new MODU82+ and PRO82+ series at 20%, 50%, or 100% load.

These new power supplies are also said to be some of the quietest units in the world thanks to two new patented technologies: SpeedGuard and AirGuard. SpeedGuard allows the PSU fan to operate only at 400 to 500 rpm when the power supplies are under 50% load. It lowers the total noise profile by 5dBA. AirGuard is a mechanical design which bends the housing around the air-inlet to the fan and it helps to reduce the total noise level by up to 2dBA.

Besides being two of the first that complies with Intel’s ATX12V v2.3 standards, MODU82+ and PRO82+ offer what is claimed to be some of the strongest +12V rails in its class. Both series are rated at 40°C with triple +12 rails that can support up to an amazing 25A on each rail. In addition, the MODU82+ series comes with 12 pin modular connectors that present endless combinations and possibilities for future CPU and graphic needs.

The MODU82+ comes with 3 different models: 425, 525, and 625W with MSRP of $109, $144 and $165, respectively. PRO82+ comes with 4 different models: 385, 425, 525, and 625W with MSRP of $79, $99, $129, and $155.
