Enermax MODU87+ 800W Modular Power Supply Unit Review

Test Setup
There are many different aspects to testing a power supply from the regulation, ripple, idle and load tests and even efficiency, but sadly only certain tests can be run on the hardware that we possess. The likes of efficiency testing needs very expensive hardware to be able to measure the results accurately and these are normally priced in the thousands. Due to us not having this equipment, there are only certain tests that we can run.

To perform our tests, we try to push the power supply to its limits, testing the stability of the rails. We run the power supply at idle and load wattages and measure (with a digital multi-meter) the 3.3V, 5V and 12V rails as well as any other 12V rails that the unit may have.

Our test system consists of the following components:

Test System
Processor (CPU) AMD Phenom II X6 1100T
Motherboard Asus Crosshair IV Formula
Memory (RAM) 4GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 1800MHz
Graphics Card AMD Radeon HD 6850 1GB
Primary Hard Drive Kingston V+ Series 64GB SSD x 2 (Raid 0)
Power Supply Enermax MODU87+ 800 Watt
Operating System Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
