Enermax = My favourite now!

mrk · 7 Sep 2006 at 00:13

I was going to get a Type-R Hiper 580 but then I saw the enermax and had to check it out.

Taking it out of the box was simply like opening a new toy on your birthday as a kid - Stickers! The soft keyring! Cable Pouch! Shiny! ever so Shiny finish on the PSU! and the feel/weight of it was just fab compared to the Hiper 530watt Type-M/R I bought previously.
I have to say it has exceeded expectations and it's not even noisy either.

Currently after several hours of being on and gaming it is sitting at a cool temp and also the rest of my system is much cooler too thanks to there not being a mass of heat returning back into the case which was the case with the Hiper! - The Type-M/R used to settle at around 47 idle and make my hdds around 35 and cpu nearing 50.

The voltages are similar to the Hiper but this one has more support for more devices as well as a more efficientrating and more amps on both 12v line.

Very pleased, best £68 on a 500watt psu you could spend! (the reviews confirm this too

)

I think I have the same one as you. It's a mint PSU, very quiet. I like the adjustable fan function on it as well. Though I did receive a free bag with it. Not one I'd be using in all honesty lol

This one? Me too !

I love mine, it screams quality.

Yeah i bought one of these Emermax Libverty series PSU's, i ended up going for a 620W version as i needed the extra juice for a x1900 CF setup, i have to admit this has been the best power supply i have ever had, well pleased and im hoping this one will last for quite a while!!!

My last one lasted about 5 years and still works now afaik after I sold it.

You need to alter your sig mate, it's way too big

LOL maybe i should have my Primary Rig on displa!! LOL

Rusty739 · 7 Sep 2006 at 00:56

is that better?? LOL

As you can see This power Unit really suits my System (this was a picture taken with my old Crossfire/ Opteron 175 setup) will post pics when my new Gpu's arrive!!

God i do love this PSU!!! IT KICKS ASS!!

Nice setup!

Do those stock fans on the X1900s not make a lot of noise? My single card was very annoying until I fitted a Zalman 9500.

Btw, your sig is still too big (and that pic). 4 lines max for sigs

I have the Enermax Liberty 620w and its great. Has anyone plugged in that fan connector thing, on the 12v cables?

Does it give you temps and rpm of the psu?

roakes · 7 Sep 2006 at 10:18

My Liberty 620w should be with me tomorrow

b4z · 7 Sep 2006 at 10:26

i have the 500w enermax liberty, very nice psu

Couldn't agree more. The enermax noisetaker is another great unit. Powers everything i plug in, which is, to say the least, awesome.

Thanks, the setup was my pride and joy and hopefully my new one will look just as nasty, Yeah the x1900's did make a lot of noise, but only with my case open

, when it was all closed up i could barely hear them, i've got the impression im not going to like my 7900 GTX's when they arrive (if they work!!), i have heard a lot about the cards failing a lot (like 1 in 20 fail according to statistics), so i will probally go back to a crossfire setup again!! lol, with a ASUS P5w DH, as im not impressed with a 2.86gb overclock, i know the Nvidia boards are crap for overclocking but i would have thought i could atleast get to 3gb?? :confused:

I was wondering this, I plugge dit into the fan header on my mobo but the fanspeed cannot be read? weird! the psu temps are read though even without the connector connected as it gets it through the main mobo connector

Well I plugged it in to a chasis fan header on my motherboard and now I can see the psu fan rpm. Where abouts is the psu temps though? cant seem to see them anywhere.
