Enermax Revolution 85+ 1050W Power Supply Review

Efficiency Testing



Idle Efficiency


At idle, the Revolution 85+ flexes its muscles to good effect and achieves lower overall power consumption figures than the HX1000. What really surprised us was the fact that the Enermax unit was a good 25% more efficient than Corsair’s flagship unit with the computer turned off.


Load Efficiency


With an 80 Plus Silver rating, we had our hopes pretty high for this power supply and it didn’t disappoint at all. It maintained a good 2-4% edge over the Corsair unit in all of the tests which is actually quite impressive.
