Enermax Revolution 950W PSU Review

Noise and Heat:

Much like ECO we had reviewed previously, the Revolution has a distinct advantage in that higher efficiency equates to less heat, which then means less noise.  In fact, during all of our testing, the Revolution barely warmed up at all, and I could not detect that the fan had sped up at all.  So, the Revolution gets two thumbs up from me for both heat and noise categories.

Conclusion:

There is no doubt that the Enermax Revolutions 950W power supply is truly a great unit; it encompasses great performance, efficiency, and style into a single unit, perfect for any enthusiast.  It does have a weakness, however, and that is in price.  At $259 on Newegg, this 950W unit is substantially more expensive than many quality 1kW+ units on the market today.  There are a few places selling the unit for as low as $220, which makes it a bit more price competitive, but still a bit too much considering the competition. 

If price is not a concern, then the Enermax Revolution should be on the short list of any enthusiast looking build a new system. 

Pros:

• Same quality Enermax platform we all know and love

• High efficiency means cooler and quieter operation

• Appealing aesthetics

Cons:

• Price could be more competitive
