Enermax Platimax 1200W Power Supply review

Rating: 9.0.

Enermax are well known in enthusiast circles and over the years they have expanded their portfolio to include power supplies, fans, coolers and computer cases. Today we are looking at their new ultra high end Platimax 1200W power supply which is 80 Plus Platinum Certified.

The Platimax is the replacement for the MaxRevo, so we would expect similar performance with improved efficiency. The 1200W power supply is an FMQ design which in the words of Enermax is “a high-performance power supply topology to use all magnetic quadrants of the main transformer and to achieve maximum efficiency and rock stable output voltage.”

Efficiency is rated between 84 and 94 percent and the 1200w model utilises a copper bridge array for direct voltage transmission to reduce the wire resistance and to enhance efficiency. It is also ErP Lot 6 ready to improve power consumption in standby mode.

Product overview

• 80 PLUS® Platinum
  89 to 94 percent efficiency at 230V and 20 to 100 percent load. 80 PLUS® Platinum certified.
• FMQ Design
  High-performance power supply topology to use all magnetic quadrants of the main transformer and to achieve maximum efficiency and rock stable output voltage.
• Copper Bridge Array
  Innovative and patented transmission technology for direct voltage transmission to reduce the wire-resistance and to increase the efficiency. Optimized air circulation due to clear and spacious PCB design.
• ErP Lot 6 ready!
  Help systems to meet EU eco-design directive ErP/EuP Lot 6 (<1W in standby mode) due to improved, high-efficient 5V standby (+5Vsb) circuitry.
• C6 & Hybrid Support
• Supports energy saving modes of current and future CPU & GPU generations (C6 & Hybrid Mode) due to ZERO LOAD Design (no minimum load).
• Multi Rail Design
  Stable and safe power supply thanks to up to six high-performance and massive 12V rails each with separated over current protection (OCP). Extremely low ripple noise.
