The Enermax Modu 82+ II 525W is an attractive design, with a subtle metallic finish and gold fan shroud.
The supply isn't a pure modular design, with a cable housed on the left of the chassis. It measures 150mm x 85mm x 140mm (W x H x D).
All of the cables are high quality and easily colour coded so no problems can occur when building a system. The cabling is abundant for this specific power output and we are pleased to see the availability of 8 pin PCI-E 2.0 power connectors (x3).
The rear of the power supply is completely vented to allow for maximum air flow.
The 12V output is capable of delivering up to 40A which is very impressive for a 525W supply.
Fantastic product. Only gripe for me is the price. I understand if it was gold certified, but seems a bit steep for bronze. even with the new standby power saving mode.
I have the older version of this supply and it has been a great workhorse for me. I have actually built a crossfire system around it with two 5770s and it was great.
Its always good to see companies focusing on power consumption, its very important. Well it is for me anyway.
Enermax are one of the few companies who design their own power supplies AND build them. for this alone I give them a lot of credit. I know many people prefer Antec or Corsair, but I always buy Enermax. never had any problems or failures.
Very nice indeed, bit expensive though for the output.
I like enermax power supplies, but im not sure 525w is offering much futureproofing. id aim for high quality 850w this time minimum.
@ Seth. I think people get caught up with wattage output figures. unless you want to run multiple GFX there is no need for anything more, this will handle even a GTX580 and high end CPU without a problem. Worth thinking about !
Education on the new energy standards, thanks. Shame they couldnt get this rated at silver 80 plus, but its pretty close.
