I am seriously excited for their digital monitoring fanless power supply... Digital monitoring was always kinda cool but I never REALLY cared that much until I saw this unit. Being able to check up on a fanless power supply is awesome and I hope it helps to put some fears to rest.

The video provides Linus Tech Tips coverage from CES 2014 focusing on Enermax's fanless power supply with digital monitoring and the SP fan demo. The host introduces Enermax’s 550 W fanless PSU, highlighting its 80 Plus Platinum efficiency, full modularity, and crucial feature: a digital monitor that exposes real-time and theoretical readings for wattage, efficiency, temperature, voltages, amperage, and rail configuration. The presenter emphasizes the perceived fear surrounding fanless designs and argues that the digital monitoring capabilities help users validate safety and performance. A secondary demonstration centers on Enermax’ s Twister pressure fan, a 120 mm unit with notable static pressure and airflow specs. In a playful setup, a windmill is used to simulate air flow across different fans, illustrating how various fans interact with static pressure in a non-ideal but educational way. The segment concludes with reflections on how these technologies could broaden adoption of fanless PSUs and invites viewers to follow Linus Tech Tips CES 2014 coverage for more insights and demonstrations.
