Box & Bundle
The box is unexpectedly small, given the PSU’s max power. But the PSU itself is also super compact.

Thanks to its 150 mm depth, the PSU’s dimensions are small. On the back side, the modular panel consists of 14x sockets, including a 12V-2×6 one for the high-power cable. According to your mainboard, you will either connect the 24-pin cable, which occupies both relevant sockets or the 10-pin cable, which occupies only the left one. I used a multimeter to confirm that both standby rails, 12VSB and 5VSB, are active at the same time. The 24-pin cable doesn’t use 12VSB.

Enough cables and connectors are provided to deliver the PSU’s full power smoothly. All cables are long enough, and the distance between the peripheral connectors is adequate at 150mm. Moreover, all cables are individually sleeved, which makes them look more appealing. Still, I prefer stealth flat cables (ribbon style) because they are easier to handle and route inside the chassis.
Enermax seems to be having supply chain issues; this, and many others of their best models are not available in their own store or from resellers (all “out of stock”). Is Enermax in trouble as a company?
I remember my first Enermax power supply in the Athlon XP days, and my second when they went modular. I’d buy this in a heartbeat if I could find it. Do you have a contact where you could figure out what is going on?
I haven’t talked to them in ages! Not sure if anyone is around there to return my emails.
Kαλησπέρα Αρη και συγχαρητήρια για το review του τροφοδοτικού για αυτό είσαι και από τους ελάχιστους μς γνώσεις και εξοπλισμό top of the range, μια απορία έχω σχετικά με το υψηλό OCP όπου μέτρησες, μήπως σε αυτά τα τροφοδοτικά έχει κάποια σχέση με το up to 235% power excurtion όπου δίνει η ίδια η enermax για το 12pin VHP του τροφοδοτικού και είναι with in specs?
Γεια! Όχι δεν έχει να κάνει το υψηλό OCP με το 235%. Απλά δεν το έχουν ρυθμίσει καλά.
Για RTX 5090 θα συνιστούσες το Platigemini ή θα ήταν καλύτερη σαν επιλογή το Platimax DF 1050 με τον αντάπτορα της nvidia 4*8pin, Ευχαριστώ
Θα σου πρότεινα ένα τροφοδοτικό με native connector, παρόλο που και ο μετατροπέας της NVIDIA είναι υψηλής ποιότητας (τουλάχιστον αυτός που έχουν οι FE)
Also, is the fan feature to rotate anticlockwise loud when getting rid of dust. Does it happen everytime PC gets powered?
I don’t remember, but keep in mind that this gimmick really works! Every time the PSU starts (meaning PC start).
Is Enermax PlatiGemini 1200W ATX v3.1 or NZXT C1200 ATX 3.1 considered better? Which one would you buy?
both are good. Their price is the major factor.
This seems like a great choice for a PSU, but the underperforming OPP and OCP protections are holding me back from buying it. Have there been any known updates to address this? Since I am not an electrical engineer, I am left wondering what the worst case scenario is for these shortcomings- i.e., damaged pc components, house burns down, etc… Thanks in advance for any update.
