We like the Revolutions 85+ power supplies a lot. They are able to deliver phenomenally consistent, high power performance without a flinch. The bottom line is that across the board they are one of, if not the most efficient PSU products on the market right now.

Acoustically, it's extremely quiet, but the slightly unbalanced fan yields a bit of a weird noise in our model. From an aesthetic perspective, it's also unique and we really like it, but it's ultimately down to personal taste: are you a fan of plain black. Or not?

[...]The bottom line is that there are cheap PSUs around the 1,000W mark that you wouldn't touch with a barge pole, there are "good enough" PSUs you can save a bit of money on. However, if you honestly need close to a kilowatt of power then you already own a few thousand pounds worth of hardware, so buy something that complements this. Unfortunately for Enermax though, the sticking point is most of us won't need this much.

Finally there's the warranty. Enermax still only gives all its PSUs a three year warranty. While three years is a lifetime in our industry, and long enough for most of us, compared to the competition's five or even seven years, it seems a little skimmed considering we're buying a premium product. Again, we feel that outside of the actual core product, Enermax needs to do a little work.
