Enermax PlatiGemini 1200W ATX v3.1 & ATX12VO PSU Review: The first of its kind!

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.

Modular Cables 12V Only
ATX connector 10 pin (600mm) 1 1 18AWG No

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.

  1. 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.
