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.

Well... It sure looks like Enermax is moving up in the world. I always saw them as a cheap-crap PSU but you can't get an 80+Gold certification if you're not using good components so I guess that they're starting to become serious about quality.

That's not how it works.

Have one Enermax maxpro II 600W here in the house@AM3 rig, and it it has been running very good for at least 12mths, IIRC. Not gold but white is enough for its usage. Think they had some mention about components in their marketing. And did not cost an arm and a leg.

They had a good reputation back when the Jonnyguru site was still active. Maybe you're confusing them with Coolmax?

You know what, you could be right. They do look and sound similar (their logos look similar I mean).
