CONCLUSION

   ENERMAX was one of the very first manufacturers to actually release high-end power supply units almost 2 decades ago and even though increased competition resulted in them focusing their activities in some specific countries I am glad that they are getting back to how they used to be (or at least that seems to be the case). Now in regards to the REVOLUTION D.F.X 1050W I think pictures and numbers speak for themselves. Rail stability may not be the greatest I’ve seen lately but it’s solid across the board and as for noise levels even at almost maximum load the 120mm fan is not very audible. Build quality is also good and what did surprise me was the fact that a Chinese manufacturer actually used Japanese capacitors (obviously according to ENERMAX’s specs). The side ARGB illumination is also something which I expect some people will like and as for the semi-fanless mode I would had liked to be able to disable it as with most models out there but at least it’s only functional up to 20% load.

   Right now, the REVOLUTION D.F.X 1050W ATX 3.0 power supply unit by ENERMAX retails for 169.78Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) a price tag which is actually quite balanced. That being said yes, the REVOLUTION D.F.X may not be the best ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 power supply line out in the market today but at least the 1050W performs very well, is not loud even at 100% load, comes with two 12VHPWR plugs, is 80 PLUS Gold Certified and it looks nice thanks to its ARGB LEDs so the Golden Award is obviously in order.
