What do you guys think of Enermax PS?

[equalizr]

i just upgraded from an Enermax 300W to a 431W enermax and my 5v is still low (4.89) as compared to my old mobo (MSI K7t turbo le) it would read 5.08 all the time

I got 2 of thier 350w PSU's and havent had any problems yet....

I use a 350 watt unit myself. Voltages are always stable.

I would buy another when the time came.

just dont pair an enermax with an epox mobo, a combo of those wud give horrible voltages.

I've got an enermax EG651P-VE in my current set up (650 watts max)

boy can you say overkill?

enermax/antec/PC Power and Cooling

basically you will be using one of the above if you're serious about performance.

You're going to give me nightmares!!!

I remember when I first started using the internet around 96 on an old pre-built piece of garbage, i believed that certain computer viruses(sp) could make your computer burst into flames.

I put an Enermax in my case when I went water cooling

Epox 8KHA+ motherboard.

5v line was great until I decided I just HAD to get my XP1600 to 2Ghz- then I had to do a volt mod to help compensate for the other volt mods
So now my 5v line is even better, although my 12v line is a bit high......the voltage control circuit is the same for both, so when I pumped up the 5v a bit the 12v line also gained.
Compromises

I'll get another, if and when the time comes, unless I get a PCP&C.

They make good stuff, you could just have a bad 1 or bad config.

What voltage mod did yu do to increase the 5v rail? any guides? thx

Another request for this mod- been a lot lately; maybe I'll condense everything into a small article

Here's the link: Enermax 5v Mod

Long thread; good information throughout; read the whole thing.

Seriously- read it: it is very easy to hurt yourself, wreck your power supply and or destroy your computer if you do it wrong!

Another point on this mod: the 5v and 12v lines are regulated by the same circuit in the psu: when you adjust the 5v line the 12v also goes up.

I currently have a 5v of 5.03v and a 12v of 13v on my heavily modded and overclocked system, and its been that way for a few months with no problems........yet. [me knocking on wood]
