Enermax Announces the Revolution DUO Series Power Supplies

btarunr · Oct 5, 2016

ENERMAX brings the dual fan PSU back to the market! REVOLUTION DUO, with 80 PLUS certification, features active ventilation for long-term system stability by adopting two patented Twister Bearing fans which create dynamic airflow with quietness. The comeback of dual-fan PSU is due to increased demand of PSU shroud cases. Although the shroud cases make users more easily to do cable management for a neat and clean build, the confined space will decrease air circulation. The ENERMAX DUOFlow design utilizes the 2nd fan to actively dissipate the hot air and make the airflow management much more effective.

REVOLUTION DUO is equipped with DUOFlow design, consisting of two ENERMAX patented Twister Bearing fans, 1* 10cm intake fan and 1* 8cm exhaust fan. Thanks to active ventilation, DUOFlow makes lower RPM of fans; the use of Twister Bearing technology also delivers a more silent cooling performance compared with regular single fan PSU .

Patented FMA technology provides extra cooling for system when need
In addition to DUOFlow design, REVOLUTION DUO is also built with patented FMA (Fan-speed Manual Adjustment) function to provide optimal cooling upon users' demand. With the default setting of FMA, two thermal-controlled Twister Bearing fans automatically adjust their speed by the system load conditions - these two fans would not spin at full speed even under full load of PSU. FMA can be activated to increase the speed of both fans simultaneously to full spinning on the basis of FMA default setting. FMA, in other words, is a turbo switch of REVOLUTION DUO to offer users turbo airflow and extra cooling .

Availability & More Product Info
REVOLUTION DUO complies with 80 PLUS Gold level standards and meets 2013 ErP Lot 6 regulations; with up to 92% efficiency in operation and less than 0.5W power consumption in standby mode. It also has comprehensive protection circuitry of OVP, UVP, OPP, OCP (+3.3V/+5V), SCP & SIP for system safety. REVOLUTION DUO is available with 3 wattages: 700W/600W/500W.

For more information, visit the product pages of the 500W, 600W, and 700W variants.

"...delivers a more silent cooling performance compared with regular single fan PSU " - so two smaller fans are better than one big

.... yea, right - I am on my way to toss out my 140mm case fans and change them to x2 92mm

2004 called they want their powersupply design back :/

Ferrum Master · Oct 5, 2016

My old Galaxy had the same anno 2008...

chinmi · Oct 5, 2016

my ax1200i 140mm fan is already very silent, and it's a single fan.
i don't thing 2 fan will have the same noise level. probably gonna be louder.

i think, CMIIW, a 100mm fan will have to spin faster to achieve the same airflow like a 140mm fan.
and this 100mm-80mm duo fan setup, to get the best balanced airflow, the exhaust 80mm fan will need to have the same airflow like it's 100mm fan, so 80mm will probably have to spin faster then the 100mm too.

You make quiet PSU by giving it fan with FDB fan which runs at ridiculously low RPM. Like the Corsair I've modded with my own fan. Or like current BeQuiet Dark Power which has that out of the box. The fan is so quiet you can't even hear it even when you lean your ear right next to it. That's how you make it quieter, not by sticking more smaller fans into it. With fans so quiet you don't even need passive mode when in idle. And since it's FDB fan you don't even care if it's running 24/7.
Also, I've had a Twister bearing fan and it's not exactly the quietest thing...

Awesome, it's about time a decent manufacturer started making dual fan PSUs again.

For those who don't see the point, it means you can replace the PSUs in older systems that don't have support for case fans, it means you can build systems without case fans, etc. And OFC it means better cooling for the PSU.

silentbogo · Oct 5, 2016

I think my elderly Athenapower SFX PSU (~2007) has a much better blow-through design with 2x fans in push-pull configuration.

as already said:

old = new

new = old

:cool:

Enermax used to be a household name.
They used to make cool and advanced products.

Now they mostly make 30$ cases and other embarrassing low end products

Thought the same. Seriously - how did a solution ditched 10 years ago for not being good enough become the next big thing?

TheDeeGee · Oct 5, 2016

Or you buy a Seasonic with Hybrid Fan Control.

Your not going to spend this kind of money for an older system that cannot even support case fans.

And any decent PSU with one single large fan would just increase the RPM if it gets hot, such as a system with no fans, to compensate. While more than likely being quieter than this.

It's a pointless system.

Joe Public · Oct 5, 2016

Reminds me of those old crappy overrated PSUs that needed the top fan for spot cooling those components that were clearly not up to the task of delivering what was asked of them. :ohwell:

Not that I'm saying that this is why it has it, because Enermax doesn't do that. But it just brings out those bad vibes from the olden days, hehe.

peche · Oct 5, 2016

that dual fan psu reminds me the older 430w TR2 i had.... loved that psu, despite being ultra noisy,

Those powersupplies are some of the worst rated things Thermaltake has ever released...

Joe Public · Oct 5, 2016

Not the exact TR2 in the review, but I stayed far away from the TT PSUs back in those days. If you bought anything else than the Toughpowers, you were pretty much getting a turkey.

that "thing" lasted with my several years, worked on 2 epic rigs i had and still in use on a download machine from a friend... cannot complain about that PSU, for that time i rarely remember 80+ units...

seems like it! but dunno, for that time i had mine, 3 of my friends had the same psu, worked great for everyone!

Low wattage systems would work absolutely fine on it.

well.. 80mm fan spinning a 2k rpm ( at turbo mode ) is silent-near silent.. more different could be the 100mm fan spinning at 1400 rpm.. but i don't think that it will be more noisy than ANY Seasonic unit pulled under heavy condition..

about dual fan.. what it matter for me is: a) inside temperature of the hottestest component ( less than 90°C or the psu will fail soon ), b) efficiency c) noise ( less than 40dB under heavy condition and less than 37dB in standard environment ) d) caps ( CapXon? no thx!, 85°C caps? only in budget psu ) e) price

waiting for a good review :-D
