ENERMAX Intros Revolution ATX 3.0 Power Supplies
ENERMAX today introduced the Revolution ATX 3.0 line of high-wattage power supplies with, as the name screams, ATX 3.0 support. The company is debuting the series with 1000 W and 1200 W models. An interesting aspect about the Revolution ATX 3.0 series, is that you get not one, but two 16-pin ATX 12VHPWR cables. The first one is a native connector that plugs into a 12VHPWR source connector on the PSU, and is capable of 600 W continuous power delivery with 200% excursions within limits that meet PCIe Gen 5 specs; while the second is a 16-pin 12VHPWR connection that plugs into two 8-pin PCIe and likely reports itself as 300 W-capable with its signal pins. This combination should prove useful for certain OC-grade RTX 4080 or RTX 4090 graphics cards, although for most other applications, using the native 600 W connector is recommended.
Both the 1000 W and 1200 W models come with the same set of connectors, which include a 24-pin ATX, two 8-pin EPS (each splits into 4+4 pin), four 6+2 pin PCIe power, one 600 W-rated native 16-pin 12VHPWR, one 300 W-rated 16-pin 12VHPWR, twelve SATA power, and a handful legacy connectors. Under the hood, you get a single +12 V rail design with 80 Plus Gold switching efficiency, DC-to-DC switching, and most common electrical protections. A 135 mm fan is used to keep cool, with a Semi-Fanless mode that turns the fan completely off under 30% load. This function can be disabled with a physical switch near the AC receptacle. The company didn't reveal pricing.
