Enermax Modu87 Plus

Enermax Modu87 Plus - EPG600AWT - MSRP US$159

You know, I was just thinking -- over the past year or so I haven't tested a PSU that was bad, or for that matter even below par. It's the result of stringent competition and a very demanding end-user. So whilst most power supplies can be considered downright good, for me personally there are only a couple of manufacturers that set the standard higher, above good, to perfect; they all make excellent power supplies. Names like PC Power & Cooling, BFG, Corsair and yes... Enermax are amongst a class of experts that push out the greatest power supplies available in the business.

Innovation is what it is all about. Five years ago we all had these dull metal grey power supplies, then the consumer and tech market demanded more wattage and performance, we wanted more reliability and right after the physical design challenge in that the industry came up with another concept, modular power supplies to keep everything nice and organized inside that PC of yours. Ever since the last year or so another trend kicked in that started something of a race amongst the top manufacturers -- being green. Delivering a PSU with the highest efficiency, as high efficiency can save on power consumption, which is not only good for mother nature, but also your power bill. Today's tested product from Enermax certainly fits everything I just mentioned. Stability, good design, modular, high performance and top class efficiency. We do however face a challenge alright. Testing the modern age power supply has become something of an issue.

The power supplies are so advanced and can take so much load that some serious kit is required to measure under heavy load and to test ripple. We here at Guru3D, do it the old-fashioned way though, we throw as much gear as possible to a power supply (close to its maximum peak wattage) start to stress the components and then monitor the power supply voltage lines for instability. Though not the most objective way to test a PSU, it certainly is a challenging one for any PSU we test -- and we are happy to do so.

Today we'll have a look at one of Enermax's latest 'gourmet' power supplies. It is the all new Modu87+ 600 Watt power supply. Will we be impressed by this 80+ Gold certified power supply? Well, let's find out and head onward to the actual review, next page please.

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.
