With energy efficiency becoming more and more important to consumers it was only a matter of time before 80 Plus Platinum was made available in low-wattage power supplies for relatively affordable price points. Currently we see 80 Plus Platinum reserved for high end power supply units like Enermax's Platimax series and Corsair's AX1200i among others. Yet today we have with us an 80 Plus Platinum rated power supply from Antec in a modest 450W capacity for users who care about energy efficiency and only have a modest system to power. The Antec EarthWatts Platinum 450W power supply we have here today fills exactly that market segment.
The focus of Antec's EarthWatts Platinum series is really quite simple, they want to offer you 80 Plus Platinum rated power supplies that are more affordable because they come in more realistic wattages for "normal" systems. In fact 450W is more than enough power for any high-end system. You could easily run a single high end GPU and high end CPU platform off this power supply, such as an Core i7 3960X with a moderate OC and an Nvidia GTX 780. Of course the typical user of this power supply is more likely to have an LGA 115X platform and less demanding GPU but the point still remains - 450W is enough for most people making this a very accessible and applicable power supply.
Antec's promotion of this product pulls a load of questionable figures out of the air in terms of how much money you could typically save. Realistically the amount of money you can save is going to vary wildly on three factors:
Your unit cost of electricity
How efficient your previous power supply was
How often you use your PC and related to that how much electricity it consumes when you use it
So as we proceed through this review it is worth taking a note that the focus is very much on efficiency, so without any further ado let us get straight on with this review.
Antec expands its modular High Current Gamer lineup with the new 750W model. Let's take a close look at this new PSU and see how it performs.
Seasonic est une marque que nous connaissons tous, en raison de blocs d'alimentation assez fantastiques. Après des modèles Gold à couper le souffle, notamment en fanless, Seasonic nous revient ce jour avec un modèle qui arbore une certification 80 Plus Platinum et un mode Hybrid que l'on peut tout simplement qualifier de semi-fanless. A découvrir maintenant.
Der Markt der hochwattigen Netzteile wächst immer weiter und ist mittlerweile hart umkämpft. So konzentrieren sich viele Hersteller auf Netzteile jenseits der 500 Watt Grenze. Doch auch der Leistungsbereich unterhalb von 500 Watt sollte nicht in Vergessenheit geraten, schließlich erfüllt schon dieser in den meisten Fällen den Leistungsbedarf moderner PCs. In diesem Test sehen wir uns das neue LibertyECO des Herstellers Enermax an, der auf langjährige Erfahrungen in der Entwicklung von Netzteilen zurückblicken kann. Die Liberty-Serie war schon in den letzten Jahren sehr erfolgreich und zeichnet sich u.a. durch das Kabelmanagement aus. Das Nachfolgemodell soll, wie der Name schon sagt, besonders energiesparende Eigenschaften besitzen. Wie sich das LibertyECO 400W im Test schlägt, erfahrt ihr auf den nächsten Seiten.
