There seems to be something wrong with the protection features. OCP at 12V is sky-high, not effectively protecting the PSU. The same goes for OCP on the minor rails and the over-power protection. Moreover, in OPP, we notice that the triggering point is identical to that of hot and cold conditions. It should be way lower at high temperatures to provide optimal protection. RSY needs to fix the protection feature settings in this unit ASAP! Lastly, since this is an advanced platform, it would be nice to see it have fan failure protection.

  1. 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?

  2. 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?

      1. 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

        1. Θα σου πρότεινα ένα τροφοδοτικό με native connector, παρόλο που και ο μετατροπέας της NVIDIA είναι υψηλής ποιότητας (τουλάχιστον αυτός που έχουν οι FE)

  3. Also, is the fan feature to rotate anticlockwise loud when getting rid of dust. Does it happen everytime PC gets powered?

  4. 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.
