Enermax Pro82+ 625W Power Supply Review

Output Specifications

One area where the Enermax Pro82+ really shines is in the +12 output department where it has 50A (600W) available. This is more than we could have possibly hoped and with a whole 96% if its available continuous power on the all-important +12V rails, this power supply is ready for just about anything a 625W unit should be used for.

Enermax has broken up the single +12V rail into three 25A “rails” which means your overclocked components won’t be bumping into any pesky OCP circuits anytime soon. Other than that, the Pro 82+ gets the usual cursory amperages on the other rails.

Interior Impressions

Past lower-end units from Enermax did not really leave us with a great first impression when looking at their interior component choices but the Pro82+ bucks that trend. As we can see from this top-down view, both primary and secondary filtering stages are well-appointed for a 625W unit. The heatsinks are on the small side but as power supplies increase in their efficiency, there is less and less power loss transferred into heat which means companies can start moving to slower-running fans and smaller heatsinks. It is also good to see the cables sleeved all the way into the housing.

It should also be noted that Enermax makes their own power supplies and doesn’t outsource their production to an OEM manufacturer.


Where Enermax units of years gone by had somewhat dubious capacitor selections, the Pro82+ 625W goes a different route with a pair of Matsushita 85°C units on the primary side along with a good number of Nippon Chemi-Con units on the secondary. Both of these capacitors are extremely good choices and are known for their quality and longevity.


Looking a bit further into the bowels of this power supply, there seem to be some capacitors which are wrapped in protective sleeving. It looks like this is done in order to insulate them from the soldered traces on the back of the AC input PCB.

There is also a single gold-plated heatsink onto which a diode pack is affixed (not seen in the picture). Why Enermax chose to paint this one heatsink a different color is beyond us but it surely draws the eye in that direction.
