Enermax Revolution X't 430 W

[crmaris]

It was nigh time to test a small PSU with less than 500 W since such units are among the most popular. The smallest member of Enermax's Revolution X't line will be our test subject today. This small fellow comes with Gold-certified efficiency, a semi-modular cabling design, and, like every modern PSU, support for the sleep states Intel’s Haswell CPUs introduced.

Interesting that this particular model is listed as EOL - http://www.enermax.pl/power-supplies/revolution-xt/

That additional modular red PCIe socket intrigues me - with the twin hardwired 8-pin PCIe connectors you're already looking at 300W draw, and another 8-pin would add 150W, which would exceed this PSU's capacity. I wonder why they included it? Perhaps the 430W sells better than the 630W and up, and so they decided to repurpose 630W PCBs?

yeap noticed after the review the EOL thing. This is really weird but the fact is that I have this PSU for quite long (I have a really large pile with PSU samples and it was well hidden )

I demand pictures of this pile!

I better avoid messing with the pile. Some PRs will remember me too soon

Hello all!

I think this internal is redesigned CWT CSG
The evidence is the 80+ plugloadsolutions.com clone report (Ecos ID # 3891) CWT CSG = Thermaltake Toughpower Gold TPD-0750M

650W CWT CSG in Thermaltake Toughpower Gold 650W (TPD-0650M)

Another name is Thermaltake Paris 650W

Corsair little RM is CWT CSG based too.
