A Detailed Look
The Enermax Modu82+ 625W power supply features a dark-gray, metallic finish with white lettering and a gold colored fan guard.  The enclosure is only 140mm (5.5”) deep so it should fit in most any case and uses a single 120mm fan for cooling.

The backside panel features an open grill and includes a power receptacle and master On-Off switch.  The honey comb grill allows air to exhaust out of the power supply for cooling the internal components.

The bottom fan opening is contoured around the edge to help guide airflow into the fan and reduce turbulence (less noise).  This is the patented AirGuard aerodynamic design feature.

The fan speed is automatically controlled by the internal component temperature (speeds up as the combined load and temperature increases) via an onboard fuzzy-logic controller.  The 120mm, 9 blade, Enermax labeled fan (EB122512H) incorporates dual ball bearings and is rated for 0.30A at 12V.  Enermax lists the speed range as going from 450 rpm up to 2,000 rpm.

The Modu82+ 625W PSU comes with seven, color-coded modular connectors on the front side.   The two red 12-pin connectors support the PCI-E cables/connectors and were designed to be future-ready as new VGA connector requirements evolve.  The five black connectors power the peripheral device modular cables.

The Enermax Modu82+ 625W power supply has a good assortment of modular and hard wired cables/connectors.  The motherboard power cables (24-pin, 8-pin and 4-pin) are hard wired into the PSU chassis, while all the peripheral cables are modular.  The cables are covered with Enermax’s traditional snakeskin, braided plastic mesh sleeving and measure approximately 20” long (to the first connector), which could be a little short in some larger cases.

The Enermax Modu82+ 625W comes with seven modular cables.  It features four PCI-E connectors; two standard 6-pin and two convertible 6+2-pin for use with newer, high power graphics cards that require a 8-pin PCI-E connector. 

Note: Enermax is using 12-pin connectors on the PSU end of both modular PCI-E cables to insure the Modu82+ will meet future graphic adapter card connector requirements.
