Enermax debuts 450-650W PSUs with 80Plus Gold

Bit Tech reports Enermax is showing off new mainstream power supplies with 80Plus Gold certification at Computex. These units will be available in 450W to 650W and offer an efficiency of at least 87 percent, and minimum 90 percent efficiency at 50 percent load.

The 80Plus test reports indicate the 550W and 650W units have a typical efficiency of just over 91%.

Inside Enermax uses a tuned topology based around a similar standard DC-DC design its Revolution uses, but with more control at the primary and secondary phases to improve efficiency further.

Enermax’s new lighted fans with many-LEDs will also be featured in its new Liberty Eco PSUs. As far as fans go they certainly look pretty awesome and may actually bring us back to liking LED fans in a PSU again...as long as Enermax add an on/off switch, obviously.
