CONCLUSION

    One thing I feel I need to point out before everything else is that the new Revolution D.F. 12 line is not an SFX one. Yes, at 122x150x86mm the D.F. 12 models are almost as small as SFX models but not quite and so this isn’t an ideal choice for cases aimed towards use with SFX power supplies. Size aside the Revolution D.F. 12 850W did extremely good across the board. Rail stability is extremely good, the electrical protections work well and both the PCIe 5.0 and ATX 3.1 compliance assures this model is ready for everything you can throw at it (as long as its within its rated output). Noise levels are also very good and well within acceptable levels. Of course, my test rig didn’t manage to squeeze all 850W out of the D.F. 12, so I do expect noise to increase if your system does but only by a small amount. My sole issues with the D.F. 12 are the lack of available outputs (550/650W would be very nice to have) and the fact that it lacks PCIe 5.1 compliance (unlike the PlatiGemini – both released at the same time).

    Right now, the Revolution D.F. 12 850W power supply unit by ENERMAX retails for USD139.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 124.94Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) a price tag which is certainly very good for what you’re getting in return. Once again ENERMAX has released a very good power supply unit and even though it’s not perfect it still delivers very good results and is worthy of our Golden Award.
