CONCLUSION

    The 1200W variant of the Revolution D.F.X series of power supply units by ENERMAX more or less delivered the same results as its smaller output brother (1050W). Rail stability is very good (again, not the best out there but very good) and as for noise levels even though the 120mm fan this time over is faster it’s more silent than the one used in the 1050W variant (at the same power consumption – getting closer to 1200W should also increase noise). Some of you did email after I had reviewed the 1050W model complaining about the fan spinning at random intervals but that’s actually quite normal since CPU and GPU power consumption does increase at random intervals (even just opening your internet browser could do that and yes, all models I’ve used recently do the same). The ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 certifications may also see a bit off when all models released now are ATX 3.1 & PCIe 5.1 certified, but the differences are tiny and shouldn’t really concern consumers, at least not those on a tight budget. Once again, it’s the OEM that would concern me but since they’ve used quality components and ENERMAX covers the entire line with a 10-year limited warranty I can’t complain much.

    When I reviewed the 1050W capacity model of the Revolution D.F.X line availability was not that great something which has changed since then and so today you can get the 1200W model for USD175.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 166.62Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de). Again, the Revolution D.F.X line by ENERMAX may not produce the best numbers out there but it does offer a very good price/performance ratio and for that the Golden Award is in order.
