The Enermax Transformation D.F. X 1050W PSU Evaluation: High Power, Highly Reputable

In the world of power supply systems (PSUs), a couple of names stand apart for their devotion to quality, development, and efficiency. Enermax, developed in 1990, has actually been a stalwart in this sector, regularly providing items that resonate well with both lovers and experts. The brand name has an abundant history of coupling robust engineering with visual skill, which has, over the years, took a substantial market share in the increasingly competitive PSU arena.

Venturing into the high-capacity spectrum, Enermax has actually tossed its hat into the ring with the Transformation D.F. X 1050 PSU, a system that boasts a wide variety of functions. The PSU market at this wattage level is a battleground where the stakes are high, and the margin for mistake is small. Products competing in this section are anticipated to satisfy the strict needs of high-performance computing environments, consisting of several high-power PCIe card setups and comprehensive overclocking situations. The Transformation D.F. X 1050 is Enermax’s declaration of intent, showcasing its technical expertise and its capability to satisfy the requirements of power users along with a distinct visual style.

The Transformation D.F. X 1050 includes a guarantee of providing not simply adequate power, however likewise functional effectiveness, sturdiness, and a host of clever functions to make sure optimal efficiency. The trademarked DFR (Dust Free Rotation) innovation, for example, is a significant addition focused on decreasing dust build-up, apparently extending the system’s life expectancy and making sure constant efficiency. As we dig much deeper into the analysis of the Enermax Transformation D.F. X 1050 PSU, we will inspect every element of this system to determine whether it measures up to the lofty requirements set by its predecessors and the expectations associated with the Enermax trademark name.

We got the Enermax Transformation D.F. X 1050 PSU in a relatively big cardboard box with thick, tough walls. Inside package, the PSU is furthermore secured inside product packaging foam. The black/red art work on package is concentrated on the system itself.

Enermax kept the bundled products to the bare minimum, with an a/c power cable television, 4 installing screws, simply 2 easy cable television ties, a vibrant sticker label, and a 24-pin adapter jumper that can be utilized to power on the PSU without linking it to a motherboard.

The modular cable televisions of the Transformation D.F. X 1050 PSU are all black, with ribbon-like connected black wires and black ports. This consists of the 12VHPWR cable televisions of the system. There is likewise an additional optional cable television for linking the internal ARGB to an external controller or suitable motherboard.

External Look

Wandering off from the minimalist style technique, the Transformation D.F. X 1050 PSU shows off a distinct visual beauty. It is sprayed with textured black paint and showcases a distinct octagonal fan grill situated at the base of the chassis, which is elegantly decorated with a badge at its center. The best side of the chassis is totally plain, while the left side is home to what at first seems a normal ornamental sticker label with the business and series logo designs.

What at first seems an easy ornamental sticker label is in fact a frosted display screen that lights up different colors and results, including an aesthetically enticing element for users who value RGB setups. The Enermax Transformation D.F. X 1050 PSU uses 14 integrated lighting modes, supplying a variety of color and impact choices consisting of different fixed colors and vibrant rainbow results. The lighting is restricted to the side display screen, making it subtle and elegantly used.

Internal Style

Although the platform might be at first misinterpreted for a Great Wall style, the OEM behind the production of the Enermax Transformation D.F. X 1050 in fact is Dongguan SANR Electronic Innovation (likewise called Casecom). SANR is a big Chinese OEM however we hardly ever discover their platforms in high-end items. Although the chassis was lowered to simply 140 mm, the internals of the PSU are not as loaded as we believed they would be.

The filtering phase starts at the back of the air conditioner receptacle and continues onto the primary PCB, with an overall of 4 Y capacitors, 2 X capacitors, and 2 filtering inductors. A few of the capacitors are soldered straight on the prongs of the air conditioner receptacle, without an extra assistance PCB. There are 2 bridge rectifiers that share the exact same heatsink with all of the active power parts as much as the primary transformer.

.	The Enermax Transformation D.F. X 1050 PSU	Enermax has actually handled to encapsulate a considerable power output within the Transformation D.F. X 1050 PSU, all while sticking to the basic ATX measurements of 150 × 140 × 86 mm( W × D × H). This careful style makes sure the system’s compatibility throughout a huge variety of ATX-compliant enclosures, including Desktop HTPC and other compact setups. The crucial electrical requirements and accreditations are nicely shown on a sticker label atop the system.
On the rear side, besides the traditional little on/off switch and air conditioner cable television receptacle, the Transformation D.F. X 1050 integrates a square short-term turn on its rear side. This switch turns the pre-programmed RGB results if the system is not linked to an external ARGB controller and likewise enables users to quickly switch off the lighting by holding it down for 3 seconds.	The front of the chassis homes ports for the modular cable televisions. Although the ports are not color-coded, a standard legend is inscribed on the chassis to help with proper cable television connections. The PCI Express and CPU 12V cable televisions utilize similar ports, removing the threat of inaccurate cable television insertion, thanks to the unique adapter styles and keyed setups.	Enermax is utilizing among their own brand name PFERS-12Μ fans for the cooling requirements of the Transformation D.F. X 1050, the optimum size of fan that suits a basic ATX chassis is 120 mm. It is a really premium fan, with a double ball bearing 6-pole engine. Ball-bearing engines are extremely trustworthy however not the quietest, nevertheless the PSU includes a semi-passive style that will totally stop the fan while the load is low. Enermax likewise set a “Dust-Free Rotation” mode into the fan, which has the fan making an effective reverse spin once it is powered on, apparently blowing away any built up dust. This will not be of much usage for systems that are on 24/7 and it is most likely that the fan will merely draw the dust back towards it after that short-term reverse spin, yet it might assist sometimes and extremely dirty environments.

Rubycon provides the 2 450V/390 μF capacitors of the APFC phase, which are put beside a single big filtering inductor. The active PCF parts are 2 CWS60R125AZ power transistors and a diode. 2 MOSFETs form a normal simultaneous half-bridge LLC inversion phase towards the primary transformer.

6 014N04SA MOSFETs create the single 12V line on the other side of the transformer. The DC-to-DC converters for the 5V and 3.3 V voltage lines can be seen right after a really little heatsink. The secondary side capacitors are a mix of Rubycon, Nippon Chemi-Con, and Nichicon items, all of which are from Japanese makers.
