Introducing the Enermax NAXN 80+ power supply family

Of course, we were also curious about how such a NAXN power supply would look inside, so we even freed the biggest model from its clothes. What immediately proved that the rumor was true is certainly CWT internal. Not good news, as we love Enermax power supplies precisely because of our proprietary electronics, a gilded grid may not be worth the premium the manufacturer expects in exchange for the brand name. Well, let's see what we find inside!

On the primary side, we found SAMXON 220 nF buffer capacitors certified at 85 degrees Celsius, while on the secondary side we also found SAMXON brand capacitors at 2200 and 3300 nF, registered at 105 degrees. The layout is well thought out, the cooling has not been overstated, which is understandable in our case, as an 80+ labeled power supply should pass on most of the energy absorbed, you can use less for heating.

By the way, cooling. The air mixing is performed by a 12 cm diameter fan, which is a Yate Loon brand, which is a popular manufacturer of power supplies. The exact type is Yate Loon D12SH-12. It has a spatial extent of 120 × 120 × 25 mm, a maximum operating voltage of 12 V, at this voltage its speed is 2200 minutes, with which 80 CFM delivers air with a maximum noise generation of 40 dB. Of course, these maximum data, which are rarely experienced during operation, if it were not so, we would not overly like these power supplies, because 40 dBA is certainly quite a combo value. Unfortunately, liquid-bearing solutions have not yet become widespread in the case of feeds. No wonder this mid-range ENP500AWT also only got a plain bearing vent. Yate's air vents are usually quite durable pieces anyway, so this fan is expected to last for quite a few years.

As we wrote about electronics CWT and surely the components used are only good for this. This is not primarily about the fact that CWT’s products are bad, as they are used by quite a few manufacturers, but rather the problem is that they are not Enermax. But their souls on it, if They say we will be satisfied with the electronics, so be it.

We should also say a few words about the "extra" abilities.

• The power supply meets 80 plus efficiency standards, promising 80 to 86 percent efficiency at 20 to 100 percent load.
• ErP Lot 6 (EuP) 2010 ready! - Energy saving solution with less than 1 watt of standby power consumption.
• Airguard - Fan operated for 30-6 seconds after shutdown to dissipate heat trapped inside.
• Safeguard - Existence of the circuit responsible for multiple protection mentioned in the introduction. (OVP, UVP, SCP, OPP and SIP)
• Multi ready - Support for next generation multi-core CPUs
• Silent ready - Low speed fan with controlled speed
• 24/7 ready - The power supply is capable of 7 days / 24 hours, ie operation without shutdown
• World ready - operating capacity between 100 and 240 V.
