Enermax Galaxy 1000 Watt PSU review

Actually on the backside you'd find another fan.

When I change the angle of the camera the modular connectors become more visible. let me zoom in a little:

Here we see connectors for six peripheral modular cables. These connectors are color coded black. The dark red connectors on your left are two additional dedicated PCI-Express modular cables, the two 12 volts rails. You'll also notice the 24 pin mainboard connector which was introduced with PCI-Express mainboards.

Notice the green LED and below it the button ? That's the PowerGuard. It uses a small LED light and internal buzzer to indicate current power supply status. Under abnormal situation, the PowerGuard will turn off the power supply to protect your system and will start beeping. The button is being used to disable that alarm.

When we zoom in a little we'll see a multitude of heatsinks. Hard to see with this photo but the inside has a very clean layout.

All the way on top we see the fan, utilizing Smart Fan technology. After your system shutdown, the two ball bearring fans continue to run for another 2 mins to cool off your power supply and components . It also has a heat sensor that will allow the fans to run for more then 2 mins if the temp is greater then 40c after the 2 min.

Enermax Liqtech 120X and 240 review
We test and review the all new Enermax Liqtech 120X and 240 Liquid coolers. Can it keep up with similar Asetek and compeeting products? Let's find out!...

Enermax Fulmo GT review
We review and test the Fulmo GT. Enermax has been going very strong with their power supply and fans. For a while now they also offer PC cases, and more recently they released what seems to be the biggest chassis I've ever laid my hands on. This chassis series has HPTX support for the bigger than biggest motherboards and some pretty cool features as well.

Enermax KW001 Briskie Keyboard mouse combo review
Keyboard kits come in all sizes, shapes and forms .. and that's next to a gazillion of manufacturers that offers them. Surprisingly enough a few weeks ago Enermax, the guys behind the best power supplies and the brightest fans also launched a keyboard/mouse combo. Briskie is all about value and as such for 25 USD/EUR you get a mouse and what we think is a very decent wireless RF keyboard.

Enermax Platimax 850W power supply review
Enermax always is able surprise us, they now have released the Platimax power supplies, that means a platinum certification and yeah .. that boils down to a 94% efficient product. Very few products get this certification. Today we'll grab a couple of older older supplies and see if what they claim is true, can we really save on energy. We fire off three PSU's at a P55 / Core i7 870 based system setup with a GeForce GTX 590. We then monitor power consumption in idle, CPU productivity (stress) mode and then lock into a gaming session.
