Enermax Infiniti 720w Modular PSU
Introduction & Packaging
Published: 5th February 2007 | Source: Enermax | Price: |
Just over a month ago I was given the opportunity to review the Enermax Galaxy 1kw PSU. The unit performed amazingly well in the OC3D tests and obtained our Editors Choice award along with a really respectable 96% final score.
For me, there was only one small downfall with the Galaxy - its enormous size. Those of us with full-tower cases and plenty of space around the PSU area certainly wouldn't have any problems, but for people like me with a fully packed-out case, squeezing the Galaxy inside would require much more than a shoe-horn and some petroleum jelly.
Enermax have always been innovators, and one of the very few companies that actually design and build their own PSU's. For this reason it's no surprise to see them answering consumers demands by producing a power supply that combines some of the Galaxy's award winning features inside a standard ATX sized casing. Are Enermax on to a winner? Let's find out..
Packaging
Packaging is an area where Enermax never fails to impress. All of the previous Enermax products I've reviewed here on Overclock3D have shown originality, attention to detail and most importantly good protection for the item contained within.
The Infinity comes in a rather professional looking box with a grey and white gradient theme throughout. On the front of the box Enermax have printed the Infinity's slogan of "Dual Quad Triple + 18" with some information on what this actually means. Turning the box around to the back we can see that Enermax have printed the Infiniti's specifications in a total of 8 languages along with diagrams on what modular cables are included with the unit.
The images above show all four corners of the Infiniti's packaging which are jam packed with information to say the least. Enermax have provided figures on the Infiniti's efficiency compared with 2 other un-named power supplies and have even calculated how much money you could save by purchasing the Infinity over a lower-efficiency unit.
In addition to this, Enermax have also printed information on two of the Infiniti's more unique features: Coolguard (a system that keeps your fans running after the PC has been turned off) and PowerGuard (an LED and Buzzer system that warns of any potential issues with the unit).

To make sure that no damage comes to the Infiniti, Enermax have placed a cardboard sleeve around the unit to prevent anything from scratching its surface, and then placed it inside a bubblewrap bag. Additional padding is also provided by the cable bundle and Infiniti accessories box.
You can expect to find the following items inside the box:
• Enermax Infiniti PSU
• Pack of modular cables.
• Infiniti manual and leaflets
• ATX screws
• Power cord
• Enermax Stickers
• Molex > 2x Floppy power adapter.

Wow, looks like an awesome modular!
That really does look like a great psu. I think that manufacturers should try and move away from plastic modular connectors, they look cheap imo :( Other than that though, a well deserved award
nice review, i just wish that enermax would take out the gold stripes in the sleeving, i have an enermax psu myself and it just annoys me.

Totally agreed. I'm not a big fan of the gold bling as it doesn't really match anybody's PC's. I'd really like to see manufacturers making separate cable kits sleeved in a choice of colours.
Looks like a sweet PSU, very good job by Enermax
Mmm, the Liberties larger brother :). It looks awesome, and performs crazy-good!

Firstly, quality review: all encapsulating.
I have to say I am extremely impressed and will no doubt in the coming months bite the bullet and purchase this psu once I have got my pelt settled in.
Nice job Enermax!
