Enermax Platimax 850W Review

Closer Look (Internal)

Opening up a PSU voids the warranty and should be done at the user’s risk. Upon removing 4x screws the outer shell successfully lifts away from the shell that has the PCB fixed to it.

The internal layout is very clean and tidy. Enermax have taken care to even present the components under the cover in an neat fashion. There is a 3x heatsink design and Rubycon Japanese Solid CAPs have been used throughout – with a rating of 105c. Platimax 850W utilises 4x +12v rails for dual graphics support.

It’s comes as no surprise that due to Enermax being a market-leader in fan cooling that they have used one of their own products for Platimax. The actual model of the fan used inside is ED142512M-0A a 140mm fan that uses twister bearing technology rated with a max RPM 2000.

As with other PSUs that Enermax manufacture this fan will spin after shutdown in order to push out existing heat from the PCB/heatsinks.
