PSU Reviews

If you are a server administrator or have mission-critical workstation tasks, then this power supply might be right up your alley. It provides enough power to handle the biggest tasks and can withstand long periods of stress, with enough connections to easily handle large RAID arrays and cooling. Designed for large server cases, the EG851AX-VH(W) FM PSU has more physical depth than the average ATX case. Delivering 660W of pure power, this gold-colored behemoth would be an interesting addition to multi-processor servers and gaming dream machines.

Enermax has decided to join in on the fun and we’ve got two power supplies in the labs to look at. In this review we’ll be looking at the Whisper series of power supplies. The Whisper series makes use of two fans to cool the supply’s internals as well as your computer. Unlike many other thermally controlled power supplies, the Enermax Whisper power supply gives you the option of controlling the power supply’s fan speed yourself. If the room is cool or you’re doing light work such as word processing, you can leave the fan at its lower 1500RPM speed. When it’s time to enjoy some gaming, just turn the dial to the max and enjoy 3000RPM of cooling power.
