That's why it doesn't work. 

 

Pinout between Enermax and Antec are different. 

My old PSU turn on perfectly and works great but fails under heavy loads and a 1080GTX, so I've purchased antoher one.

Is the psu turned on? I know it sounds like a stupid question, but a lot of people make that mistake. And do you get any reponse when pressing the power button? Or is it just dead?

You're not using any of the old cables from the Enermax still, are you?

PCIe for GPU, Mobo, AC POWER, and 8-pin CPU replaced with the new cables.

Then tomorrow I'll try replacing all SATA Power cables. Thanks for your answer.

 

BTW I've bought the Enermax advised by your review. Great buy!

 

¿Should I replace my Antec for an Enermax model?

As jonny said, problem was due older ENERMAX SATA/Molex cables.

 

After set up a new cable management and a replacement by Antec ones PSU turns on flawless.
