The 80 Plus Platinum certification is the next level in energy efficiency, promising 92% minimum efficiency at typical load (i.e., at half of the power supply's labeled power). The Enermax Platimax is one of the first power supply series carrying this new certification level to reach the market, with 600 W, 750 W, 850 W, 1,000 W, and 1,200 W versions. Let's see if it is worthwhile buying the 600 W model, which will be released in the U.S. in January 2012.
Technic3D hat das Thermaltake Berlin 630 Watt Netzteil aus der Germany-Series im Test. Preisgünstige Netzteile tummeln sich viele am Markt, unterscheiden sich aber oftmals in den gebotenen Ausstattungsmerkmalen. Wie das Thermaltake hierbei abschneidet, steht im folgenden Testbericht.
Hardwareoverclock.com haben einen neuen Bericht online gestellt. Getestet wurde das Coolermaster Silencio 550 Gehäuse. Dabei handelt e sich um einen schwarzen, gedämmten Midi-Tower, der edel aussieht und trotzdem nicht zu teuer ist. Kann dieser Tower überzeugen?
Since the ancient of days, the race of men craved for many desirable objects, ideas, and ultimately, the power and rule over many aspects of the world. This included people such as Julius Caesar, who was a very famous general playing a critical role in the Roman Empire. In the past century, nations have fought because of clashing ideas and world domination, as seen between the Axis and Allied countries during the Second World War. In the famous trilogy The Lord of the Rings, "Nine rings were gifted to the race of men -- who above all else, desire power." Inevitably, only time will tell which side will emerge victorious, while the other side must suffer the consequences of losing. The life cycle must always begin at some point, and ends somewhere down the road. In the world of technology, the concept of functional hardware and hardware failure applies, and the circle of life is of no exception. Take power supplies, for example. What will happen to them when you let them run 24/7 for ten years straight? That's a whopping total of almost 88,000 hours. That it is pretty close to the MTBF of your average PSU; not saying that PSUs will die at exactly 100,000 hours or anything, but hey -- everything has a limited life. Or maybe you just happen to have a spare sitting in the storage room in which you decided to power up again. Running a quick little test on it may save you quite a bit of time rather than plugging everything in and finding out it doesn't work (And what doesn't work). Well, you are just in luck. Thermaltake has now redefined their new power supply tester. For starters, let's just say it looks like a big step up in terms of looks from the 'compass' original Dr. Power into the 'GPS' Dr. Power II we are reviewing today. Keep reading to find out more!
Picking out a power supply for a build can often be a daunting task. Wattage, plugs, fan size, efficiency, and name brands are all deciding points. Raidmax, a trusted brand in power supplies, has sent us their 1200AE Bronze power supply. Lets take a look at different efficiency certifications and where the 1200AE stacks up.
Cougar is a company that few have heard of, even in Europe, a very small number would have them in their ‘recommended power supply manufacturer list’ which they would either consider for their own rigs or recommend to others. However, those who do recommend Cougar PSUs are the ones who have used them- and for very good reason! Cougar is actually a subsidiary of Compucase and handle all the power supply R&D work. They have gained a strong reputation for quality among the small but growing market they market to. I can foresee large orders of Cougar units hitting major UK retailers and the shores of the USA in the near future!
When a PC has gone bad, often one of the first components to check is the power supply. Thermaltake has released a quick, easy, and automated universal ATX power supply testing device that is designed to give users instant feedback on whether the PSU is working properly. Read on to see how it works and if it will help cut your overall troubleshooting time down when working on troublesome PCs.
The ZT Series is the latest power supply series from OCZ, with a full modular cabling system and 80 Plus Bronze certification. Let’s dissect the 650 W version.
Those old enough will remember OCZ as being one of the leaders in the enthusiast memory sector and in recent years they have focused on the Solid State Drive sector, producing many cutting edge products. They took over PC Power & Cooling a few years ago to enhance their company portfolio and have been releasing a solid array of supplies for both the mass market and enthusiast sector. Today we are looking at the latest 650W from the ZT power Supply series which rests right in the middle of their range, between the ModXStream Pro and Fatal1ty Series.
Enermax is well known amongst the enthusiast community for their quality power supplies inside and out. The examples we have seen in the last year with the MaxRevo and the Modu87+ were no exceptions, so when Enermax offered us the chance to get an early look at their upcoming Platimax unit, we gladly obliged. Enermax already has several Platimax power supplies available and we've heard that the 600W model will launch sometime in January 2012.
