INTRODUCTION

    With both NVIDIA and AMD gearing up to unveil and release their latest CPUs and GPUs this might be the perfect time to upgrade your power supply unit with one of the latest PCIe 5.1 & ATX 3.1 ones (or choose one of those for your new system). We've talked about the benefits of all the new power supply units’ numerous times to date and what stands out most is their higher electrical efficiency, 200%+ power excursion (double for the CPU and triple for the GPU), cleaner and more stable electrical output and support for the latest PCIe 5.0 graphics cards (by NVIDIA so far) using the brand new +12VHPWR connectors. ENERMAX released their latest PlatiGemini line of PSUs and today with me I have the 1200W model.

    ENERMAX was founded in Taiwan in 1990 and is a world-renowned PC Power Supply manufacturer and maker of award-winning PC components such as chassis, coolers, fans, and peripherals, with recognition from consumers around the world.

    The latest PlatiGemini line currently includes just the 1200W model which I have here with me today and well, it follows all the latest standards including PCIe v5.1, ATX 3.1 and even the brand new ATX12VO one (higher efficiency ratings and reduced production costs). Needless to say, it's a fully modular unit which adheres to the 80 PLUS Platinum electrical certification (92% electrical efficiency at 50% load) and comes ready with a single 12VHPWR (12V-2x6) GPU power connector (600W) and 3 8-pin (6+2) GPU power connectors. It also comes ready with a single powerful +12V rail (100A) capable of delivering 100% of the units’ total power output (1200W) , peak power output of no less than 1319.8W (peak should now be up to 2.6KW for up to 100ms - once again however this is not something i can test), full bridge LLC with DC to DC design, 135mm dual-ball bearing fan with patented Dust-free Rotation (D.F.R.) function and semi-fanless mode, high-quality Japanese capacitors certified for use up to 105 degrees Celsius, individual sleeved cables and a full array of electrical protections including over-current (OCP), over-voltage (OVP), under-voltage (UVP), short-circuit (SCP), over-temperature (OTP) and over-power (OPP). As for warranty ENERMAX once again covers their PlatiGemini 1200W power supply unit with a 10-year limited one.
