Enermax Bringing New CPU Cooler Lineup to CeBIT 2011

Enermax are a well known company for their quality power supplies aswell as their rather eccentric cases and blingy fans. Now they’re making an entry into the CPU cooling market.

Little information is surrounding the new coolers right now, however there are a couple of details and a picture of a cooler making the rounds today. The cooler will be based on the principles of vortex generator flow technology and will feature two Twister fans which are able to supply high amounts of airflow while maintaining a relatively low operating noise. The fans do feature bright red LED’s, however they will be able to be turned off via a switch attached to the fans themselves.

As for other details, there will be six copper heatpipes in direct contact with the CPU while the fans should be powered via a 4-pin power connector, however that’s yet to be verified. Enermax will be showing off their new cooling range at CeBIT which will be hosted in Hannover, Germany from March 1st to 5th. The coolers are expected to start hitting shelves soon after that.

There’s not alot to judge the cooling line-up from Enermax on with little information being currently available. More information is expected to make it’s way down the grape vine soon however, with Enermax wanting to generate plenty of interest in their new products on the leadup to CeBIT.

Do you think Enermax might be onto a winner with their latest foray into the cooling market? Drop us a comment below and be sure to let us know.a

Enermax launches $99 Hoplite mid-tower with hotswap bays

Enermax has launched a new desktop chassis aimed at gamers and performance buffs alike. Said to be the company's flagship mid-tower case, the "Hoplite" has a solid spec sheet for its $99 asking price. Among the more noteworthy features is two 3.5-inch hotswap drive bays along with an optional top-mounted hotswap drive dock, neither of which is common in a $100 case.

The I/O is home to an eSATA port, audio jacks, and two USB 2.0 ports. In addition to a drive dock, the premium model trades both USB 2.0 ports for USB 3.0. Inside, the Hoplite has a bottom-mounted PSU with a dust filter, cable management cutouts with rubber grommets, extruded side panels so you can stuff wires behind the motherboard tray and a hole below the processor.


Stock cooling includes a 120mm front intake fan with multi-color LED lighting (red/blue) and a 120mm rear exhaust. The side can be outfitted with two 120mm fans or one 200mm fan and the top can take two 120mm or 140mm fans. You can adjust the color and speed of the front intake fan via two controls on the front bezel. There's also two holes with rubber grommets for liquid cooling.

The Hoplite has four 5.25-inch and six 3.5-inch bays with quick release covers and rails for easy drive installation. There's also seven rear expansion slots with clearance for graphics cards measuring up to 315mm long -- that's enough space for today's longest consumer card, the Radeon HD 5970. We've seen mixed reports on availability, but it should be on shelves soon if it isn't already.
