Conclusions
Contents
As expected, the Enermax Platimax 600 W proved to be a top-notch power supply, with outstanding efficiency between 88.4% and 92.2%, voltages closer to their nominal values most of the time, very low noise and ripple levels, and a terrific cable configuration for a 600 W unit.
The only real negative point of this power supply is its price, USD 180. We know that this is the manufacturer suggested retail price and online stores usually sell power supplies for less than the MSRP, but it will still cost more than twice the price of good 600 W units with the 80 Plus Bronze certification. Therefore, for the average user there are products with far better price/performance ratio out there. For the user who demands only “the best in its class,” however, the Platimax 600 W may be a nice fit.
The product is scheduled to be released in the United States in the beginning of January 2012.
