One of the MODU87+ PSU’s more unique features is what Enermax refers to as Dynamic Hybrid Transformer Topology (DHT).  The focus of DHT is to dynamically change the operating voltage and frequency in the AC side of the PSU to help maximize overall efficiency.

The two main capacitors on the primary are made by Rubycon and rated at 330uF, 450V, and 85°C.  The main bridge rectifier is located to the right of the large choke coil on the small black heatsink.

The Enermax MODU87+ 900W PSU uses DC to DC converters to produce the +3.3V and +5V outputs from +12V.  Each DC to DC converter resides on its own daughter card and incorporates solid polymer caps.  Also noteworthy are the small daughter cards that mount both solid polymer and traditional electrolytic capacitors to help optimize airflow and cooling.
