Modu/Pro87+ 700W Voltage Stability and Quality




Both of the smaller 3.3V and 5V rails drag themselves through half of our graphic and show a drop of around 3%. That still doesn't matter too much since they started at a high overvoltage of 3.41V and 5.14V respectively. The 12V rail again performs great with only 1% drop and very tight regulation. It's good to see this since most modern high-end components need these 12V rails.

Ripple



The higher ripple results on the 3.3V rail continue with the 700W unit as well, unfortunately, but it remains (barely) within spec. The 12V rails stay on an acceptable level of up to 70mV. Below you can see our noise charts for 20%, 50%, and 100% load on the 12V rails.

    Very nice to see a new PSU review on anandtech, I was worried you guys had forgotten what made you popular- reviews of real products not just blog after blog. I have a suggestion, if I may. The Antec Neo Eco 400W power supply. I actually just bought one, it seems like a good deal. It has a 30 amp 12V rail (360W) a 120mm fan, and is 80plus certified. Not sure who the OEM for it is, I'm thinking Seasonic. But you guys should check it out. Great review by the way.

    good luck finding a replacement for that gold monstrosity. so that make this crap a n buy for me. You see, i like to change the fans on my psu ( better fans) in order to control them myself.

    Might still use 140mm mounting holes, and just be a 139mm fan to avoid a stupid patent.

    Hard to think you'll need a fan better than that - 50 Celsius for the vented air and almost totally silent even at maximum load?
    I have an old Seasonic 350W (12 cm fan) which I felt was totally silent in typical operation (closed case, computer under desk), and after about four years it still is totally silent.

    is not hard to think _ for me_ the big fan dsnt follow a standard, it has no other use for me, if a buy 4 120 fans i could give the multiple uses/ ( psu replacement fan, case fan, cpu fan, low speed fan, high speed fan, etc, - btw cases with big fans are terrible) one huge big ass fan? no other user ¡ difficult to find = no thanks.

    Why use such a cumbersome term as Cable Management (which refers primarily to the neatness of cable routing) when 'Modular' is much more apt (and specifically referred to in the product name)?

    Nobody makes 'cable management' PSUs, but quite a few companies make 'modular PSUs'.

    More comparisons (especially in the benchmarking) to competing products (rather than just the other two in the series) would really be nice. I actually have come to expect it at Anandtech.

    To me, this came off as a bit more of a fluff piece. Not a disguised commercial but more like something I'd find at most other hardware sites.

    I thought this was a good article on specific hardware. But then again I am not the uber geek with no life like some seem to be around here....

    Geez, and I thought the X-Series was overpriced. Sure, these Enermax PSU's are efficient, but certainly not $50.00 more efficient than say, an Corsair 750HX. If they come with a $30.00 MIR then they might be worth the money, but otherwise I'll pass.
