A meet and greet with a new Revolution (2)

Enermax Revolution 850W

When it comes to wiring, we get a smile on our face, have a look at the supplied connectors:

Native connectors:

24-pin EATX (split) (12V1)
EPS 8-pin (12V2)
EPS 8-pin (4p+4p) (12V2)
1 x 6+2 PEG (12V3)
1 x 6+2 PEG (12V3)
Fan cable

Modular connectors:

2 x 6+2 PEG (12V5 )
2 x 6+2 PEG (12V5 or 6)
3 x 4-pin Molex
2 x 4-pin Molex, 1x floppy
4 x SATA (12V4)
4 x SATA (12V6)
4 x SATA (12V4 or 6)

The peripheral connectors like Molex again start at 50 CM / 20" and end at 80 CM.

It's nearly silly to see at total of six 6+2 PEG (PCIe graphics) connectors on this power supply, we definitely like that. Two native, and four modular. Whatever SLI or Crossfire combo you have in mind, you are good to go here.

We see nicely sleeved cabling with red colored connectors. That's a good design. The cables have a proper nice length. Though I would like to see the cables sleeved in black and the connectors colored black as well. But that is purely for aesthetic reasons of course.

Last photo, here we can observe power distribution as labelled on the PSU. The six 12V rails certainly keep impressing me.

Enermax Fulmo GT review
We review and test the Fulmo GT. Enermax has been going very strong with their power supply and fans. For a while now they also offer PC cases, and more recently they released what seems to be the biggest chassis I've ever laid my hands on. This chassis series has HPTX support for the bigger than biggest motherboards and some pretty cool features as well.

Enermax KW001 Briskie Keyboard mouse combo review
Keyboard kits come in all sizes, shapes and forms .. and that's next to a gazillion of manufacturers that offers them. Surprisingly enough a few weeks ago Enermax, the guys behind the best power supplies and the brightest fans also launched a keyboard/mouse combo. Briskie is all about value and as such for 25 USD/EUR you get a mouse and what we think is a very decent wireless RF keyboard.

Enermax Platimax 850W power supply review
Enermax always is able surprise us, they now have released the Platimax power supplies, that means a platinum certification and yeah .. that boils down to a 94% efficient product. Very few products get this certification. Today we'll grab a couple of older older supplies and see if what they claim is true, can we really save on energy. We fire off three PSU's at a P55 / Core i7 870 based system setup with a GeForce GTX 590. We then monitor power consumption in idle, CPU productivity (stress) mode and then lock into a gaming session.

Enermax MaxRevo 1350W PSU review
The MaxRevo is 1350 Watt .. with peak power available up-to 1620 Watt, yummie. Interestingly enough this is a nice small sized power supply, you'll hardly hear it, has plenty of modular options, wwell read is all modular and is 80 PLUS Gold certified. That makes the modular cables based MaxRevo PSU series 88-94% efficient @ 20-100% load.
