Enermax produces some of the best computer power supplies in the world and has a great reputation for doing just that. We take a look at what Enermax does when it gets green and drops the price point for those of us on an enthusiast system building budget with the ECO80+ at 620 watts.
No matter how you look at it, 1 kilowatt, or 1000 watts, it is a lot of power that most computer enthusiasts will never need. Rest assured though, some of us do need all that power and we are generally very picky about that much power gets delivered to our enthusiast computer builds. Kingwin's LZ-1000 is up to that job?
Silence is golden and we have seen before where the sound signature does not fit the moniker in terms of PCP&C's "Silencer" line. Has it changed for the better? Silent or not, PCP&C has a great track record for building excellent computer PSUs.
Today we see what OCZ means when it says, "True to our enthusiast roots..." OCZ claims ultra-high efficiency and has gotten an 80plus.org Gold Certification. The 850 watt realm has proved elusive for great power supplies. Now to see if this PSU can garner an [H] "certification?"
Fully modular, 750 watts of computing power, high efficiency, and a great build quality has been done before in the world of PSUs, but never quite like this. Seasonic's X Series is an evolution in the world of power supplies.
Thermaltake has revamped its Toughpower XT 850W computer power supply. They have taken a good unit and made it a lot better. But is "better" good enough for you to be spending your hard earned greenbacks on this PSU? We tell you that in a one page review follow-up.
Antec, one of the best known computer power supply companies today shares with us its EarthWatts 750W PSU. New marketing seemingly pointed at being green means better efficiencies and lower power bills? We will see if the EarthWatts PSU is worthy of its namesake.
BFG Technologies has recently gotten into the business of fully built computers called Phobos. While most of our readers may not want a computer built for them, you certainly want high quality components when you do build one. BFG Tech has recently started selling the 1kw and 1.2kw OEM computer power supplies previously reserved for Phobos owners only.
BFG Tech has done a very good job at commanding respect in the computer power supply market in the last year. It has stepped up its game and along with that it is now entering the tremendously demanding 1 kilowatt PSU market. 1000 watts of power is not easy to deliver while doing a good job of it.
When we buy new PSUs for ourselves here at HardOCP, a company that always makes our short list is Enermax. Its build quality and performance has been topnotch for years. Today we put its 1.25 kilowatt computer power supply to the test. Crash and burn or continue to shine brightly?
SilverStone promises higher efficiencies, lower exhaust temperatures, and silent operation in the difficult 700 watt computer power supply market with its Element 700W PSU. SilverStone has awed us in the past, but does the company known for some of the best quiet PSUs pull it off with this Element.
Enermax has been one of our favorite computer Power Supply Unit builders for many years. It has constantly driven quality products into the market place. Today we kick the tires on the Liberty to celebrate the upcoming 4th of July.
