Conclusion

So let’s sum things up. The Enermax Revolution 85+ is definitely a good choice for a high wattage power supply; the 950w model (this one) is capable of outputting 1140 watts and so should be adequate to power even the highest spec’d system.

Furthermore, even though this is a high wattage unit, the Revolution still manages to score some very impressive efficiency results. It beat all out units at load and was very close to beating the highly priced Seasonic at idle.

The rail voltages were a slight let down, but being a higher wattage unit, we’d expect slightly higher voltages rail than normal. Still though, the Enermax manages to retain great stability with it only dropping by 0.01v on the 5v and 12v rails.

As for cooling, we couldn’t even hear the fan spinning! When your computer shuts down, the fan remains spinning for a short minute or so. This helps to exhaust any trapped hot air.

So what’s wrong with the Enermax? Bar from the slightly higher rail voltages, nothing. For this reason – and the fact I quite simply love it – I’ll gladly be awarding the Enermax Revolution 85+ 950W the Editors Choice Award. Good job Enermax.
