Enermax at Computex 2019 Part 2: Power Supplies

In half 2 of our 3-part collection on Enermax at Computex 2019, we go hands-on with three of the corporate’s new additions to its huge lineup of fanatic PSUs. The lineup begins with an addition to the corporate’s high-Wattage MaxRevo collection, with a brand new 1800W mannequin. This PSU requires 230VAC for its marketed Wattage, and might nonetheless put out 1600W with 115VAC. With 230VAC, the unit is able to placing out 1900W of peak output, though 1800W is assured (steady output).

At each AC enter sorts, the PSU’s effectivity is rated 80 Plus Gold. Such excessive energy is packed right into a physique that is simply 18 cm (7 inches) in size. Its 135 mm double ball-bearing fan is able to spinning at speeds of as much as 3,100 RPM. This fan usually runs at 20-40% of its pace, however on the push of a button close to the AC receptacle, will be pressured to run at max pace. The MaxRevo 1800W comes with loads of straws out of its fully-modular cabling airplane, with at the very least two 4+Four pin EPS and ten 6+2 pin PCIe.

Next up, is the Revolution DF (2019 Edition) 80 Plus Gold, which is available in mid-tier capacities of 650W, 750W, and 850W. At the guts of this PSU is its progressive thermal design that has gobs of aluminium heatsinks, and a 135 mm DF (dust-free) fan. This fan is programmed to spin in the other way for 10 seconds to spit out mud, earlier than resuming regular operation by pulling air into the PSU. You could make the fan run in DF mode manually on the push of a button close to the AC receptacle. The SAC (good airflow management) logic runs the fan at inaudible 400 RPM below 70 % of PSU load. All three fashions ship with full-modular flat cables, two 4+Four pin EPS connectors, and 4 or six 6+2 pin PCIe connectors.

Lastly, there’s the Revolution RGB (2019 Edition) 80 Plus Gold, which additionally is available in 650W, 750W, and 850W fashions. The innards of those PSUs might be equivalent to these of the Revoultion DF. Where they differ is their aesthetics. The physique has frosted silicone RGB LED diffusers alongside the edges, with a inventory emblem by way of a cutout-sticker. You can mod your personal emblem by changing this sticker. The embedded 135 mm fan is completely different, too, and comes with addressable RGB LEDs. The PSU takes in 3-pin aRGB enter to regulate all lighting within the PSU. In the absence of management out of your motherboard, there’s additionally an inside controller with a button that cycles between 13 lighting presets. The fan-control traits of this PSU are very completely different from the Revolution DF, with full fanless (silent) operation as much as 40 % load.
