Enermax Pro 82+ (385W) PSU

Enermax is one of the world’s most reputable switching PSU manufacturers and their products are considered to be some of the best that money can buy. Recently they released two new product lines, the Pro 82+ and Modu 82+ series. Both product ranges contain units with maximum power output ranging from 385W to 625W and whilst a maximum output of 385W may sound insufficient with the availability of 1kW+ PSUs during the past year, it is more than adequate power for a modern system with a single GPU and numerous drives installed. Today we will take a look at the Pro 82+ 385W unit which appears to be using some industry leading features and technologies despite being it the least powerful Enermax PSU we have tested.

Packaging and Bundle

The Enermax Pro 82+ 385W unit arrives in a very simple cardboard package. The unit itself is wrapped in a bubble bag and the bundled items are loose inside the box. This packaging should offer adequate protection for the PSU however it is not really suited to such a respected company as Enermax. The bundled components are an AC power cable, mounting screws, a well-written manual, sticker and two high quality cable management straps.
