Enermax Pro82+ 625W Power Supply Review

by Michael "SKYMTL" Hoenig     |     April 11, 2008

Exterior Impressions




The first thing that you will notice about the Pro82+ is the fact that it’s extremely compact power supply which will take up hardly any space once it is installed. Considering that nearly every single power supply (with a few exceptions) we have reviewed within the last few months has been longer than the ATX-spec’d norm, Enermax’s new unit is like a breath of fresh air.

The top of the unit is dominated by a single 120mm fan with a gold-painted grille which is a telltale signature of an Enermax power supply. This top-down view of this power supplies really does well to illustrate its overall size; yes, that really is a 120mm fan and not a 135mm or 140mm fan. Its overall design is capped off by a stunning black luster paint job that is extremely prone to scratches and fingerprints so make sure you handle it with care.

Mention also has to be given to a patented air inlet system which Enermax calls “Air Guard”. Basically, this consists of slightly beveling the edges around the fan opening in order to facilitate airflow into the housing. This will in turn reduce noise caused by the turbulence generated by the 120mm intake fan.


As with all of the better power supplies on the market, Enermax protects their sleeving and the wires held within by adding a plastic grommet to the sometimes-sharp edges of the aluminum housing.

All of the logos on the Pro82+ are placed in such a way that they will be facing right-side up regardless of what kind of mounting points your chosen case provides. On each side of the power supply there is a somewhat large white Pro82+ logo (which stands out in stark contrast to the black housing) along with a raised and very subtle Enermax logo.
