This is a very compact 1200 Watt power supply measuring 150 mm (D) x 150 mm (W) by 86 mm (H). It will fit into even some small chassis – making it ideal for a high power draw, compact system build. The finishing of the supply is very good.

Enermax are using a 135mm fan which they say is Double Ball Bearing. We will take a closer look at this later in the review when we crack the unit open.

One side of the power supply is home to the power button and connector along with a button marked as ‘D.F. Switch'.  If you press this switch it will activate the fan for Enermax ‘Dust Free Rotation Tech'.

Basically this fan spins in reverse to expel dust from the insides of the unit when it is first powered up. Enermax call this a ‘self cleaning mode'. While the fan reverses direction on start up, it is difficult to actually test if this would help remove stubborn dust over the years. It's certainly an interesting idea.

As we can see the unit can deliver 100 amps via the +12V rail. and 20A each to both +3.3V and +5V rails.
