Introduction:
The calculator I used before ca. 1 year put together have of course also a new power supply.
Contrary to the opinion of other PC freaks, the heart of a PC is not only the motherboard and the CPU, but also a powerful and stable power supply.
A chain is only as strong as the weakest link.
Why the Enermax PRO82+ EPR525AWT power supply?
Firstly, due to the advice of my computer dealer and secondly, I had already had good experiences with power supplies of the company Enermax in the past.
Manufacturer:
Enermax Germany
Coolergiant Computers Handels GmbH
RMA division
Billbrookdeich 32
22113 Hamburg
The company Enermax was founded in 1990 in Taiwan and now has a worldwide network for the distribution of its products.
Enermax produces in addition to power supply units also other devices for the PC.
Product characteristics:
80 Plus Bronze.
84 to 88 percent efficiency in the 230-volt network at a load of 20 to 100 percent. Modu82+ II owns the international
Energy saving certificate 80PLUS® Bronze.
„Intel ATX 12V 2.3“
Complies with the latest standard for desktop PC power supplies. Full compatibility with the latest generations of processors:
Intel® Core 2 DuoTM/QuadTM/ExtremeTM/i7TM/i5TM/i3TM and AMD® AthlonTM 64X2/X4 or PhenomTM X3/X4.
Three powerful and massive 12-volt rails. *
„DirectX11 ready“
Full compatibility with the latest generation DX11 graphics cards thanks to 6+2P-(8P) PCI E connectors.

„HeatGuard“
The power supply fan continues to run for 30-60 seconds after shutdown to dissipate the remaining system residual heat and extend the service life of the system and components.
„SpeedGuard“
12cm fan with patented rotation control according to fuzzy logic for optimal and quiet cooling
„AirGuard“
Patented air inlet reduces air turbulence and the associated noise development.
„SafeGuard“
Unrivalled safe – eight-fold protection mechanism against overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage AC, undervoltage DC, overload, overheating, short circuit and unforeseen current surges (OCP, OVP, AC UVP, DC UVP, OPP, OTP, SCP and SIP).
„CordGuard“
Practical power plug safety prevents involuntary system crashes.
„Non-Stop @ 40 degrees Celsius“
Full performance even in continuous operation at 40°C ambient temperature.
„First-class shielding“
High electromagnetic compatibility protects the system against interference (corresponds to CE EMC EN61204-3).

Appearance of power supply:
The bronze-colored power supply has the dimensions of (B x H x T): 150mm x 85mm x 140mm
On the rear side next to the 240V power supply connection there is also a separate on/off switch where the power supply can switch off completely.
On the underside is mounted 120mm fan with a fan grid protection.
On the front, 7 cable strands coated with fabric emerge, the length of which is sufficiently long even for so-called big towers.
Installation of the power supply
The installation of the device should be easy by hand and is done by screwing the device with four screws to the housing rear wall.
My first experience:
I can not report anything about power and electricity leakage, as I do not have the necessary measuring instruments.
I checked the stability of the power supply by running all my drives, graphics cards and sound card at the same time (by reading, copying and writing accesses as well as a simultaneous game benchmark with sound output) about 45 minutes.
The power supply supplied all hardware evenly and stable with electricity.
Even due to voltage fluctuations due to severe weather and switching on additional devices in the household, the power supply did not cause any problems.
The power supply is also not heard by annoying buzzing or humming.
Conclusion:
Even after a year, the power supply still works without problems. I paid $99.90 at my computer dealer. With this price it was really not a bargain but still a worthwhile investment.
Thanks to the competent advice of the seller, I still have a stable computer system today. (A buddy who was too thrifty already has his third 600W NoName power supply in it).
I hope that this honorary report was interesting and informative for you.
