CES 2024 – Enermax shares smallest ATX 3.1 PSU, AIOs, and PC cases

Enermax

Enermax was one of the last places we visited at CES 2024 (due to being sick, I had to cancel the next day’s appointments). They showed off some exciting new ATX 3.1 power supplies, cool new AIOs (one of which sports a removable LCD screen), and several new chassis that sport USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports, including one with skinned with the best game ever, PUBG.

First are the power supplies in the PlatiGemini and Revolution D.F units that usher in the Intel ATX 3.1 and ATX 12VO compliance and 80 PLUS Platinum certified efficiency. The PlatiGemini stands out with its versatile configuration by accommodating both the 24-pin mainstream and the 10-pin energy-saving 12VO motherboards. The Revolution D.F 12, with a depth of only 122mm, is one of the smallest with ATX 3.1 power. Both offer silent operation up to 50% individually sleeved cables and even a 12V-2×6 cable.

Designed for AMD’s Threadripper CPUs, Enermax introduced two new AIO coolers with a slide-and-use detachable LCD screen in the AquaFlo LCD and the Liqtech XTR AIO. The screen is designed to display real-time status, including temperatures, RPM, and more. The LCD screen has its own stand and is magnetic.

The new Aquaflo series can handle up to a whopping 400W TDP, making it suitable for high-performance compute tasks these CPUs are made for. It has the latest dual-chamber Xtreme pump, patented central coolant inlet design, and shunt-channel technology to get there.

The Liqtech AIO can handle up to 500W thanks partly to the EF1 pump and patented cooling technology. The digital screen on the water block will display the temperature of the CPU in real-time with an overheat warning.

Last but not least are a few new mid-tower size chassis. The new chassis, Enerpazo EP33, and Enerpazo EP23 (mini-tower), have an updated appearance and now include USB Type-C ports, up to 10 Gbps (3.2 Gen 2). There was also a cool-looking wrap on one of the chassis for those (few) who play PUBG (me!).

One thing makes me wonder. When we have SFX and SFX-L with ATX installation brackets up to 1200W, then I don't know what is so exciting about "small" ATX PSUs. I wish Enermax released a refreshed SFX series. I was reviewing their latest Revo series, and they're pretty good - stable voltages, quiet work, and everything else you can find in high-end PSUs. The same Deepcool and some other brands have nothing from the new SFX series, and this standard is getting more popular.
