The DIGIFANLESS 550W is the first digital and fanless power supply from ENERMAX. Based on a performance-capable passive cooling system, DIGIFANLESS allows for a completely silent PC operation (0db(A)). Latest ENERMAX technology and durable, high-quality components allow for a rock-stable and energy-efficient operation with 93% peak efficiency (80 PLUS Platinum certified). The fanless PSU is equipped with a digital interface to read out and control the most essential power values via the brand-new ZDPMS software from ENERMAX (for example voltage, current, efficiency or temperature). Last, but not least, the new flagship power supply provides a flexible full-modular cable management with precious, individually sleeved wires.

ENERMAX introduces the brand new ZDPMS (Zero Delay Power Monitor System) for most comfortable and precise PSU monitoring and control. The easy and instinct user interface (UI) informs about the system power consumption, efficiency, temperature, output voltage and ampere. For systems which have special 12V loading requirements, such as overclocking or test platforms, DIGIFANLESS allows users or system engineers/FAE to fine tune the 12V output voltage within +/- 3% regulation, and switch between 12V single or dual rail mode. In case of critical temperatures, voltages or currents, the ZDPMS software displays warning messages, so that the user can take precautionary measures to avoid a system shut down. The OVP and OCP warning point can be set individually. Finally, ZDPMS comes with an energy consumption calculator. Just input your regional average electricity fare and CO2 footprint profile, and the software will estimate the system electricity cost and CO2 emission factor.

Leading ENERMAX Technology for a Stable 0db(A) Operation
Since 1990, ENERMAX has always been a pioneer in PSU industry. ENERMAX power supplies are synonyms of quality & innovative technology. The DIGIFANLESS sets a new milestone as it is the world's first digital fanless power supply. It is 80 PLUS Platinum certified with 93% peak efficiency, and complies with the Intel recommended 2013 ErP Lot 6 standard which will limit the standby power consumption to max. 0.5W. In addition, the internal patented copper bridge array reduces the electrical resistance which significantly improves the voltage regulation and maximizes the efficiency. ENERMAX applies 105°C Japanese electrolytic capacitors, high-grade MOSFETs, and high-density array of aluminum heatsinks for utmost passive cooling performance and a continuous full power output at 40°C ambient temperature. The DC-to-DC circuit with Zero-Load Design ensures the full compatibility with the latest C6/C7 power saving modes of Intel and AMD CPUs, and provides a most stable performance even at extreme dynamic loads. The DIGIFANLESS is a masterpiece of ENERMAX engineering providing a silent, energy-efficient and durable power supply in any situation.

Full-Modular Design with Precious Cable Sleeving
DIGIFANLESS comes with a full-modular and flexible cable management which simplifies the system installation. Following numerous requests from ENERMAX customers, modders and aesthetes, each wire is sleeved individually which creates an outstanding and precious appearance.

The ENERMAX DIGIFANLESS 550W power supply with passive cooling system and digital monitoring interface is designed for highest demands in terms of silence, quality, performance and usability. The new masterpiece from ENERMAX will be available in March 2015.

I found interesting review that 550W fanless PSU is capable to power a single R9 290X or GTX 980 SLi. :D

We need some serious competition, Seasonic, Silverstone and other will need to build 650W and 750W fanless PSUs right now.
 
Cool, always good to see progress. Still, hardly a huge step given the number of fanless 500 & 520W units out there. I guess as higher efficiencies slowly come along we'll see better and better fanless options, as there will be less heat to dissipate :)

This may be my new current favourite option for my next PSU, though I suspect it won't be by the time I'm actually buying!

Sometimes I wonder at the point of these. I've been running a Cooler Master 850W for over seven years now, and it's been utterly silent.

Exactly. Your far better with a PSU with quite/hybrid fan that you can't hear then a fan less one.

If for any reason the PSU gets hot, then the hybrid fan can at least activate.

As mentioned before, I have 4 Seasonic X Gold's, 3 run in servers. Can't hear them, next to no dust on PSU filters. However if for any reason they need the fan it's there and can activate.
 
Anyone know if OcUK plan on stocking this one? I'm on my second Seasonic 520w fanless and they've both had quite bad coil whine issues. :(
