It has been quite some time since we have analysed an Enermax power supply, so it is with great interest that we take a look at the new DigiFanless 550W today. This supply is a pure modular, fanless design and has achieved an 80 Plus Platinum certification. Enermax also incorporate management software, which will surely appeal to a specific audience who enjoy ‘tweaking' settings.
One of the main talking points is the fact that this power supply is fanless, therefore silent. Enermax recommend the power supply is installed in the position shown in the picture above. The natural airflow of hot air is upwards, so installing this power supply incorrectly with the primary vent down could potentially cause stability issues.
Enermax have included individually sleeved cables which is likely appeal to enthusiast users focused on appearance, such as those building inside a windowed chassis with backlighting.

Damn I would have loved this! But I can’t justify a £100ish premium just for being silent.
Expensive, and unless you could realistically make the entire system fanless, there is little point in the PSU being fanless, and I doubt a system that needed 500W could be – and the digital feature also seems out of place at this power level.
I expect they will do a non-digital version at a better price point.
