This is a very compact 1200 Watt power supply as mentioned earlier in the review. This unit measures 130mm x 125mm x 63.5 mm, even smaller than the Enermax PlatiGemini 1200W we reviewed back in April (HERE). It weighs 2.09kg.

Enermax are using a 120mm Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) Fan – we will look at this closer when we open the unit shortly.

One side of the power supply is home to the modular bay, across two rows. The individual ports are not labelled, but there is a sticker underneath explaining what they are for.

The other side is home to the power connector, switch and semi-fanless switch button, which you can enable or disable. The fan is said to activate between 20-30% load at 25C.

The Extreme 1200R is able to deliver 100A across the single +12 rail, and 20A to each of the secondary +3.3V and +5v rails.
