INTRODUCTION

    Whether you just got one of Intel's latest Arc B-Series graphics cards or are waiting for the upcoming Radeon and GeForce cards by AMD and NVIDIA respectively this could be the best time for you to get a brand new power supply unit. However, in a market filled with power supply units this might be easier said than done and so my recommendation for anyone who asks is to always look for 3 things, manufacturer name (both brand and OEM), 80 PLUS certification (the higher up you go the higher quality components you're getting) and warranty period (obviously). Enermax is among the oldest power supply unit manufacturers and since some of you asked today, I'll be testing their Revolution D.F.X 1200W model.

   ENERMAX was founded in Taiwan in 1990 and is a world-renowned PC Power Supply manufacturer and maker of award-winning PC components such as chassis, coolers, fans, and peripherals, with recognition from consumers around the world. Our farsighted R&D capability is our key strength, and we stick to our spirit of “Technical Innovation” and “Quality First” to create products that unleash the full potential of the system for every PC enthusiast.

   The Revolution D.F.X line of ATX 3.0 power supply units includes 3 different power output models (850/1050/1200W) all of which support the latest PCIe v5.0 standard, are fully modular and come ready with the 80 PLUS Gold certification (up to 92% electrical efficiency). The 1200W unit which arrived in the office a while back features two 12VHPWR (600W) and five PCIe 6+2 power connectors, single powerful +12V rail (100A) capable of delivering 100% of the units’ total power output (1200W) and a peak power output of no less than 1348.6W (peak should now be up to 2.7KW for up to 100ms - once again however this is not something i can test). As for other features ENERMAX has equipped their Revolution D.F.X with half bridge LLC with DC to DC design, semi-fanless mode (fan starts spinning after 20% load), side RGB lighting (14 effects - via button and mainboard RGB sync), high-quality Japanese capacitors certified for use up to 105 degrees Celsius and a full array of electrical protections including over-current (OCP), over-voltage (OVP), under-voltage (UVP), short-circuit (SCP), over-temperature (OTP) and over-power (OPP). As for warranty I was again glad to see that ENERMAX hasn't change their stance in all these years and so once again you can expect a 10-year limited one with their Revolution D.F.X line.
