New Enermax Triathlor PSUs. Info's kinda skimpy, but still.

Triathlor 550W

Oh and there's a test on planet3dnow
What I don't like is that there isn't a foil or something like that between the VRM modules and the power connectors. Seems pretty close to me...

Sorry I didn't post it earlier

The foil is lacquered, so there's no immediate danger of shorting out. It serves as an EM shield. I suppose that if it were to make contact with the component leads many times, the lacquer could wear off a bit, and then there would potentially be a problem... I don't believe such a scenario is feasible in more than one or two cases per million, though.

Interesting build. Hopefully, Enermax won't price itself out of competition though.

Results look a little rough for being only a 385w unit.
Though, if it's priced right (ala not $100 for a 500w unit) then it could easily be a great value option.

I hope the lacquer isn't capacitive, as that could get really bad.

It has left room for upgrading to 80Plus Silver to Gold efficiency.

Be interesting to get some user reviews on the 1300 series
