Enermax are using a semi transparent 9 blade 120mm fan which is rated 0.30A at 12V. This T.B. Silence fan with patented Twister bearing has the company ‘Batwing' blade fans for silent cooling. The rated life of the fan is said to be 100,000 hours MTBF. The company claim that this fan only spins between 500 and 900 RPM in this unit up to 50 percent load.

The design of the Enermax Triathlor FC 700w is very clean and there are several rows of black heatsinks to ensure cooling isn't a concern. This unit adopts a DC to DC design, which is normally seen on more expensive units. This design can improve voltage regulation and reduce energy losses.

The 3.3V and 5V secondary rails are generated through the 12V rail which can help to save space on the PCB and to improve air circulation. The power supply uses high grade Japanese capacitors throughout the design and the primary capacitor is rated 470 uF 400V @ 85c. The secondary capacitors are rated at 105c.

The cables are sleeved well into the chassis and tied into place. The rubber mount ensures protection from fraying against the naked metal.
