Enermax has expanded their Galaxy product lineup with units which bear SLI and Crossfire certification. These labels are truly a mark of perfection! It means that the units design has been tested and found to comply with the rigorous standards that NVIDIA and ATI have placed on the market in order to support the SLI or Crossfire platforms. While this may be viewed as mere marketing hype by some, it's meant to give consumers the peace of mind that your power supply won't be the weak link in the build process.

     A peak at the power specifications chart shows us how much power is available to each rail of the power supply. Enermax has also broken down the chart a little further by showing you which rail is used to feed which components. Notice how the CPU is given two totally separate rails from the rest of the power supply. With a current load of 17 Ampere's per rail, even the most power thirsty overclock should find enough to drink from the Galaxy. The third, fourth, and fifth rails are slotted for the rest of the system. Here's where things really get awesome.

     How are you going to know which rails are which? That's easy because they're labeled! The Galaxy technically has a modular cord management system. However, there is also a bundle of power leads that are fixed that can not be removed. That bundle includes the main ATX power connector, the CPU auxiliary power connectors, a few Molex, SATA, and floppy drive type plugs and two PCI Express connectors. If you need any more than that, that's when you'll start hooking up cables with the modular plugs. Enermax took a good guess as to how many connectors a power supply of this size would be used immediately after installation, and made that number fixed. These are obviously tapped to their respective rails so you can't accidentally draw power from the wrong source.

     The additional modular plugs are color coded and labeled. If that's not enough, the PCI Express plugs are keyed differently than the others. It's a fairly fool-proof way of making sure that your graphics cards draw power from the right rails. The above picture shows all of the modular plugs on the back of the Galaxy. I tried to get a clean picture of the Galaxy, but it has such a glossy black finish that the dust that settles on it really stands out. It makes it a little hard to see the labels under the connectors. The red are labeled PCI-E Only and the black plugs are labeled HDD / ODD / Peripheral.
