Installation/Use:

Installing a power supply is very easy and quick depending on the case that you are installing it into. Since every case is different and there are many out there the best advice I can give you is to unplug the power supply from the wall, and start unscrewing the screws that connect the power supply to the case.. The entire operation is very simple and the only tool you'll need is a phillips screwdriver.

To take out my old power supply I had to unscrew the bracket from the case that was hold on by 4 screws. After I had un-screwed the bracket from my case I was finally able to free the old power supply from my case and was now ready to install the new Enermax power supply.

Enermax is well known for very long power wires that are usually made for large server cases. I was lucky that I had the Antec SX1030 server case, so the power wires did not clutter up my case too bad. If you have a small or mid size tower, I would think about a different power supply, or come up with a creative way to arrange the power cables so the excess length doesn't cause clutter in your case.

As I mentioned before, Enermax power supplies are made primarily for larger cases, such as the ones many servers reside in. Because hard drives and the motherboard are usually mounted towards the bottom of server cases, they come equipped with extra long motherboad and drive power cables to extend to the bottom of these larger cases.

Use:

As an avid gamer, OC'er, and case modder I tend to "use" a lot of power in my PC. I have neons, a few hard drives, lots of case fans, along with an excessive amount of gadgets that I hook up to my computer.

Throughout my testing and use of this power supply I had no power issues. Occassionally when you have too many devices hooked up to your power supply you might notice an increase of BSOD's, random crashes etc. This instability might not be directly related to a power issue, but it could be a cause. Thus having a power supply with enough wattage to push whatever you need would take the power problem out of the question.
