Getting a new PSU.....

Desh · Jun 18, 2008, 05:18 AM

I'm running the old power hungry P4 cpu(presscott). I want to swap my current 460 Watt Enermax power supply for new one, Enermax EPR525AWT PRO82+ 525W Power Supply(which is in my price range). Any tips/advice would help since my system is old now.

Nice PSU. Never thought Enermax (or whomever is making Enermaxs PSUs these days for them) could actually come up with a smart design. 3 +12v rails at 25a, break away 8 pin ATX power connector (so you get 8 for the new high end boards, or break away to 4 for the older, or non high end boards), lots of SATA connectors, and 3 PCIE power connectors (2 being 8 pin break aways for the highend cards). Even though it's from a company I usually don't buy from (I prefer Corsair, PC&C, Cooler Master, or Antec) overall I like it.

Since I'm not an expert on PSU specs, I'll leave comments on that to those in the know, like Grace (Newegg posted a pic to the PSUs specs HERE).

You could always check our reviews of the Modu 82+ and Pro 82+ units. True enough, I didn't review the 525W version of the Pro 82+, but they all share the same base design. Personally I enjoyed the performance and quality of both units, I don't think it won't be satisfactory for you.
