First unveiled two months ago and then delayed a little bit for some last minute changes, Enermax is finally announcing the availability of it's new "REVOLUTION 85+" flagship PSU series. Produced as a worthy successor of Enermax's previous high-end 1kW-class GALAXY and GALAXY DXX PSUs, the new REVOLUTION series is a top-notch product that puts a new more aggressive outside look and some new innovations never seen in Enermax PSUs before. These power supply units will be ideal for server, workstation or gaming systems. The REVOLUTION 85+ series comes in four different wattages: 850W (ERV850EWT), 950W (ERV950EWT), 1050W (ERV1050EWT), and 1250W (ERV1250EGT - available only in Europe). All PSUs from the series have a total of six 12V rails rated at 30A to 35A each, no-load operation mode, power saving modes for upcoming CPUs, high efficiency of 85+ % and modular cable desgin. Besides that, these PSUs are nearly silent because of the double ball bearing low-RPM 135mm fan installed. The other normal features for the model include Enermax's PowerGuard status monitor, SafeGuard now with 8 protections instead of formerly six (SIP (Surge & Inrush Protection) and UVP now as separate AC UVP & DC UVP), AirGuard to reduce air turbulences and the new HeatGuard that keeps the PSU fan rotating in case the inside of the PSU is hotter than usual after shut-down. A good review of the PSU was also posted today, over at AnandTech.

The unit is cooled by a 120mm fan, some units may feature an 80mm fan instead. Outputs include two 6+2pin PCI-Express connectors, six SATA power, six Molex and one floppy power connector. It offers built-in PFC and a rated MTBF of 100,000 hours. It flaunts an 80 Plus efficiency rating badge. The PSU is backed by a two year warranty. Technical details of the PSU could be read in this company-published PDF document.

Do you remember when Enermax first released the Modu82+ and Pro82+? They were new a shiny, but despite the misleading name they were rated at only 625W for the highest end model, not exactly the wattage we're used to see for an enthusiast grade PSU. Now with a little help of our collegues at AnandTech, Enermax is announcing their new Revolution 85+ series, a new line of power supplies with higher wattage output and better compatibility with future requirements. The Revolution 85+ will be available in 850W, 950W, 1050W, and 1250W, though the last is slated to be available in Europe only with support for 230VAC. Specs wise, all PSUs will have six +12V rails each rated at up to 30A, and 3.3V and 5V rails that come from VRMs. The Revolution 85+ series will share a modular cable design that allows for up to ten extra cables to be plugged in. Four of these cables are with 6/8-pin PEG connectors for video cards. AnandTech will have a full review of the 1050W Revolution 85+ model soon. No pricing and availability information was released at the time of this publication.
