One of the first thing that I noticed as I opened the box was the amount of gold on this thing. There is gold plating on the connections in the Molex plugs and the motherboard connections. This is a good thing since gold is one of the best conductor of electricity. There is also gold on the fan guards, granted this is just for aesthetics and does not hinder nor improve performance.
The unit has 2 fans in it. One 92mm ball bearing on the bottom of the power supply and one 80mm ball bearing fan on the back. The speed and noise of the 80mm fan can be adjusted by a knob on the back of the power supply. This fan can also be monitored by plugging it into a header on the motherboard.
Another nice feature was the amount of connector that Enermax supplied with the power supply. With 8 Molex and 2 floppy connectors you can be sure that you can plug as many devices into your box as you will need.
The power supply is also compatible with Pentium 4 motherboards and included the extra 12V plug, as well as the additional AUX connector that is required for some server motherboards.
