Enermax and GlacialTech Booths

Enermax's Booth

 'Welcome to the Golden Age' was the motto at Enermax's booth but it left us slightly puzzled since the vendor's flagship Revolution 85+ is only rated at 80 PLUS Silver.

 It may have received only 80 PLUS Silver but it's still a very good PSU, ranging from 850W to 1250W. Moreover it is ready for future power connector changes as it complies with the latest EPS 12V specs.

 This is the reason for Enermax's Golden Age ads, implying that it will be a 80 PLUS Gold contender. Enermax has yet to give a name to this upcoming series though it sports a very similar look as the Revolution 85+ and probably the same internal design, with red fans.

 The other high wattage PSU in Enermax's lineup is the Evo Galaxy, with a similar range of wattages as the Revolution 85+ but with lower efficiency and hence only a Bronze rating.

GlacialTech's Booth

 Next, we check out GlacialTech, which dabbles in cooling solutions, chassis and PSUs.

 The company was showing off its F101 cooler as an example of extreme cooling. GlacialTech states that it has a noise level of around 28 decibels, spinning at a maximum of 1500rpm.

 Here's a close look at the F101 cooler and heasink, which makes use of heatpipes to distribute heat to a tightly packed array of cooling fins.

 GlacialTech also has a HTPC enclosure on display, the Altair A322, which looks like it belongs in the living room with its sleek, classy appearance.
