Seems like a winner!
I don't think so after what the so called Enermax 650W "SLI" Certified did in the Hexus.net Power Supply Showdown. It blew chunks. I will not ever buy a Enermax
So you will not buy any component based upon 1 failed psu in 1 review? That's not very logical, IMO. And Enermax has a stellar reputation for building high quality psu's.Quote:

3. your crapping on a great company. you do have an opinon, but its basied off a stupid fact. i like how your sig takes about thread crapping.
Its not that it failed its that it couldn't live up to the rated specs. I said I would not buy a Enermax its called an opinion which you pointed out. How is thread crapping the same as basing an open on a compnay.
dont hte 600watters blow up?
i have an enermax and is great rock solid and really low noise and temps
You are are very foolish to base such a decision on "1" review &Quote:

Enermax has a long history of making quality PSU's &
there are 100's of positive Enermax reviews. :fact:
One must assume that you are an inexperienced. (...)censored :D - bachus_anonym.

Anyways, i like the look of the psu, but its nothing id get right now.
-edit: im not trying to flame anyone, just simply people that have things in there sigs and making posts like that just annoy me a tad.
I am sold! Liberty, here I come! :banana:
(good thing I can return my un-opened Enermax AIO Noisetaker 600W!)
does it have 8pin connector?
I agree that you can not draw any conclusions on 1 review. The OCZ power supply failed TomsHardware stress test but is one of the most popular power supplies with very few complaints. When I need another PSU I will seriously consider the Enermax.

I will not say that you should speak from experience, because that is almost certainly impossible to do (unless you have had 10+ Enermax EG701s go bad on you). I have nothing against your opinion, I am simply asking you to learn from your mistakes and not base everything on one review.
I think that we can agree that PC Power and Cooling units are among the best, but see post #2 here http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/....php?p=1044982 . Not every unit is perfect...
Cheers,
Does anyone know when are they going to be available in the market? :banana:
why should buy a unit that failed EVEN 1 test in EVEN 1 single review...
when i could buy one that didn't just as easily?
enermax fanboys aside, i wish we could buy Akasas here
next unit will probably be a Tagan
I've owned 2 Enermax's personally. My 420w Noisetaker still power's my pc fine.
I've reccomeneded Enermax's to everyone and everyone who's bought one has loved them.,.
I really can't believe the *** n000bs here! Here is a company (Enermax) that has been giving us excellent PSU's for years & one "BS" website faults one of their PSU's & these *** are throwing in the towel! ***! :slapass:
[self moderating]Dave ;)
I still prefer OCZ though :)Quote:

i've owned a lot of power supplies, and right now i'm running a Tt 480w, that these days probably isn't suitable for a lot of systems, no 24pin connector etc, low +12v rails... but its never been unstable.... and i'm sure there are a lot of people here who would flame it in a heartbeat...
i'm just saying they operate @ spec.... why should i buy a unit that has EVER FAILED EVEN A SINGLE STUPID LAME TEST (which hexus' WASn't, it was EXTREMELY thorough if you read the thing through, more than just hooking the :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: up and measuring the rails on it... ) when i can buy a fortron or tagan... or akasa (i wish) or even a new Tt or Antec?
NickS is just trying to stir something up, like always, the avg fanboy
EDIT: why do you CARE what others buy? its a form of flaming everyone elses brands... its a form of saying if somebody decides to buy an OCZ instead of an enermax, they should have bought an enermax.... why? because OCZ sucks...
so stop trying to call other people flamers... and just drop it,
of all things to get angry about, wow, a friggin power supply
Nobody was angry =|.
nick you don't count, shhhh
Watch it people, lets not allow this to become a flame fest.
Dave in Daytona, you are pushing it, keep it up and you will receive an official warning.

I will be testing it this weekend and post some results.
CONGRATS! :toast:
A beautiful PSU! :clap:
It looks nice indeed, hope it performs the same way.
One little thing I find weird is how the cables are managed.
There are 8x 4pin connectors and 8x SATA connectors in total, divided over 4 cables.
Now, logically, you would expect that you'd have 4x 4pin molex per cable and 4 SATA connectors per other cable, right? That's what I'd expect anyway.
But no, you have 2x 4pin and 2x SATA on each cable. Don't really understand why they did this. If you have 4 SATA drives in your rig, you'll be needing 2 cables instead of just 1, if there were 4x SATA connectors on it.
To balance the load over 2 cables, instead of one. :banana:Quote:

OK,
installed the PSU in my other rig, consisting of the ASUS P5WD2 Premium and a 630 @ 4150Mhz.
Powered up and checking the voltages in the bios.
+3.3V : 3.39V
+12V : 12.19V
+5V : 5.17V
Not bad for a start.
Had to make a fresh install of XP. After that, I tried getting MBM reading the voltages, because the high/low feature is good to record and check the average voltages.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work, neither had speedfan the option to record it, because it could only read the +3.3V and +12V lines.
So I had to do it with ASUS Probe II. Couldn't find any recording features though, something the older version has.
I had 2 instances of D2OL running, and while it was running I observed the lines.
Probe II recorded the same voltages as the bios showed at startup.
The 3.3V line stayed at 3.39V and didn't move for over 5 minutes.
The 12V line fluctuated between 12.17 - 12.20V, didn't see it go higher or lower.
The 5V fluctuated also a little between 5.17 - 5.20V.
To bad I couldn't find a better monitoring program, which would make it easier to check the voltages.
About the 12cm fan :
it spins at around 1000 rpm and is very quiet.
I turned off my system fans and had only the cpu fan from the TT Big Typhoon running, which is known for being very quiet too.
Well, I couldn't hear the PSU fan from close range, the TT fan was louder than it.
To make a more accurate test, I'll be swapping PSU's tomorrow and try the Liberty on my DFI SLI-D. MBM works fine on that one, and it will give me the possibility to compare it against my Powerstream 520W.
I hope to get more results by monday.
Walmart has very nice B&D DMM's for about $15. :slap:
I have a DMM thx, no need for me to go across the atlantic to find a Walmart. :rolleyes:
Took out the MM and measured the 12V and 5V lines.
Under load :
12V : 12.06-12.08V
5V : 5.13V (didn't move, stayed the same all the time)
Nice, steady voltages if you ask me.
Don't know if further measurements on another board are required. If yes, just ask.
Looks good to me! :toast:Quote:

Depending on how efficient it really is it's goona be my next PSU since the Seasonics have some minore issues with the DFI nF4.
Hopfully SPCR will do a review of it,they have an excellent testing rig.
JP, are the load results with your SLI rig ?
Not too surprised with the 5v and 3.3v rails as Enermax has done the same thing Seasonic does just to give insane wattage and amps to its 12v rails ---> Skimp on wattage for its 5v and 3.3v rails (total power 160W, total power for Seasonic 600W for those two rails is 180W).
Perkam
I'll check the 3.3V line later today.
Nope.
Results were measured with just 1x 6600GT in my rig.
I was assembling a rig for a friend of mine (which included the same card as mine), so I took the opportunity to put them in SLI and ran some benchmarks.
If Voodoopc uses it and insures it.. its gotta be good and reliable.
Here's a pic from the 3.3V readings on the MM.
Measuring was done while dual prime was running for about 10 minutes.
3.3V line stayed at 3.41-3.42V all the time, didn't go any lower nor higher.
Keep in mind that I tested this on the P5WD2 Premium board, no tests were done on the DFI NF4 board. Sorry.

Hello, I am from ENERMAX PM in Taiwan. That is wrong. The connectors a a new concept called ETERNITY. They are designed to give you maximum choice in between SATA and Molex. (Up to now Molex and SATA were fixed in numbers.) ETERNITY features these in pairs so you can have maximum SATA or Molex or mixed as you wish without adaptors up to 12, when using spare cable. (1 socket is free)Quote:

Additional benefit is that you can exchange Molex HD to SATA HD without any reconnection of other components by just using the SATA connector besides the Molex.
Jupiler, since I understand you are doing a test review. In case of any questions please contact our LA or San Francisco office.
Welcome to Xtremesystems ENERMAX !
Could you please find out why the ferrite ring core of the Noisetaker is not found on the Liberty ? Is it simply not needed ?
The Ring Core is not necessary, due to a new PCB design inside, which minimizes EM pulse.

On sale at the egg. Looks like I know what will be on my x-mas list, though I love my Whisper II 535w.

Hi!
Does this PSU have 8pin connector?
Does it have any issueus running with DFI CF-DR?
Yes,
All our desktop psu's marked with "All-in-One" have an 8 Pin connector or like LIBERTY 4+4 (4 pins are detachable without adaptor). The EPS models anyway :-)
No issue or incompatibilities known with any mobo or graphic card as long as they are ATX12V 1.3 or higher. (No -5V available)
Do you have reviews or test results with DFI N4 mobos? :confused:Quote:

This looks like a solid PSU, although I dont think I'll need the 600w. What versions do they make, 500, 620 and a 400w one??
I've just bought an Enermax Liberty 620W to replace my coolergiant 480W.
This PSU is rock stable ! I'm passing OCCT at 2850Mhz, will post the graphics tomorrow (going to sleep).
PD: it's on a DFI SLI-D.
Here you have it if you are interested in the results:
3.3V

5V
http://img453.imageshack.us/img453/1174/5v0ge.th.gif
12V

Vcore
http://img345.imageshack.us/img345/7843/vcore1vj.th.gif
That's with an opteron 148@2860Mhz 1.40v (in bios), 3 HD's, 4 fans, 1x7800GT stock.
It looks like the Liberty 620W will be my next PSU :slobber:
price of 620w ?
More than 500W and much more than 400W :D :D :D :D
Saj ne, 620W naj bi bil tam 42-43 jurjov. :stick: :slap: :slapass:
400W 21K :banana:
500W 26-27K :banana: :banana:
My OCCT graph looked totally different, but I have a 500watt.
I will make a new post I guess with all of my findings.
The 3.3V rail was perfectly stable, while the 5V was moving around a little.
I am going to run OCCT and 3D05 to see what type of results we get on the 12V rail, the 7800GTX SLI should really suck the power down.
Maybe i should upgrade to the 620 :)
The Power PC and Cooling powersupplies seem really expensive. I cant afford them, is the price justified?
It runs about $170 to $190. I ordered mine from ZipZoomFly for $186.08 (after tax and shipping), I am expecting it next Tuesday! :banana:Quote:
price of 620w ?
They should review this instead:) ....10 more watts..Quote:
