The Silverstone Strider Plus 500W (ST50F-P) is quite impressive. Yes, it currently retails for $74.99 incl. shipping, nearly double the price of the ST50F-ES; however, it also is leagues ahead of the entry-level model in every aspect. The electrical performance is significantly better, with the voltage line ripple suppressed down to levels worthy of a performance product and efficiency which should exceed 84% most of the time during typical usage. It also runs much cooler and far quieter, making it ideal for use in everyday work and gaming systems, especially in quiet environments, where a noisy computer would be uncomfortable...

eTeknix has been absent from the world of power supply reviews for around 18 months. Ever since our Sunmoon ATE SM -268 Load Tester broke we have been left without enough test equipment to do a “proper” power supply review. By proper we mean not simply loading the system with VGA/CPU components and taking motherboard readings with programs like OCCT, neither do we find using a multimeter is accurate enough. Our definition of proper power supply testing at eTeknix has been to use a dedicated power supply load tester. Just a week ago we took a trip to Hamburg in Germany where Enermax kindly allowed us to test a whopping 29 power supplies on their Chroma power supply load tester.
The first of those power supplies we tested for review was the XFX Pro 750W Black Edition fully modular power supply. This power supply from XFX is actually manufactured more or less entirely by Seasonic and is based upon the Seasonic X-750. XFX is actually one of Seasonic’s OEM partners. With 750W of continuous power over a single 12 volt rail the XFX Pro 750W power supply is designed to power the most demanding gaming systems with a single ultra high performance GPU or a pair of mid-high end GPUs.
Furthermore the XFX Pro 750W Black Edition uses a fully modular design meaning it is entirely capable of giving you a clean looking system. What’s more impressive is every cable is fully black while all cables, except the motherboard 24 pin, use “flat” black cables for easier cable management. Furthermore the power supply features a hybrid fan switch that allows you to switch between an “always on” or “hybrid on/off” fan mode. The always on mode means the fan always spins and varies with temperature while the hybrid on/off mode allows the fan to turn off at low loads. The option to choose is indeed a very nice feature.
On top of all that the XFX Pro 750W Black Edition power supply is one of the most aggressively priced power supplies on the market and comes with a 5 year warranty, yet has performance that beats most of its competitors if the Seasonic X-750 is anything to go by. But without any further ado, let us proceed on to this XFX Pro 750W Black Edition power supply review and sea how this product stacks up.

Cougar est une marque que nous voyons assez peu en France, pourtant nous avons vu durant le dernier Computex que cette dernière était très active avec une ribambelle de nouveaux produits à venir. Claviers, souris, ventilateurs, boitiers et alimentations sont au programme et nous nous attardons justement ce jour sur la CMX 700, un bloc qui ne manque pas de charmes.

Enermax are one of the biggest names in high end power supplies these days and the Platimax branding has recognition throughout the industry as being one of the most efficient power supply units available thanks to its association with the 80 Plus Platinum certification. Today we have with us one of these units as we test the Enermax Platimax 850W power supply. The Platimax series from Enermax is aimed at the top-end user and the particular unit we have with us today, the Enermax Platimax 850W, is aimed at the user with dual GPU configurations (SLI or CFX) and quite a thirsty overall system.
Enermax certainly haven't skimped out on this power supply and are throwing an impressive 5 year warranty behind it, a custom 140mm Twister bearing fan, high quality components and a whole range of protections and certifications. If you are looking for a high-end power supply then Enermax certainly give the impression that this is one of the best options, but as always let us find out if this is the case as we put the Enermax Platimax 850W through its paces in this review!
