Efficiency
The efficiency at medium load is surprisingly good, at almost 87%, but this drops considerably at maximum and low loads. In both of these cases, it only reaches 84%. However, the "Modu 82+" name is justified even here, as the efficiency is constantly above that figure. For what it’s worth, that’s good enough to qualify the supply for the 80Plus Bronze certification, if Enermax pursued it.
This model has some difficulty in our Low Power Test with a low load of 35 watts. Here it barely reaches 72%. The standby energy expenditure lies at 600 mW which is very low. With load, the power supply consumes 4.35 watts, which is average.
The 525 watt version of the Enermax Modu 82+ is available for a price of around $140.
Enermax Modu 82+
The Enermax Modu 82+ is a solid, modular power supply with high efficiency in the partial load sector.

I'd love to see some ripple/noise results on these as this is rather important information about a PSU performance
Me too. Whats the point of "the best psu ever" if it makes a lot of noise?
