Hi all,

We have just published an early look at *Enermax's Revolution 85+ power

supply*. If you could post a link on your site that would be very much

appreciated.

*/It nudges the underside of 90 percent at 50 and 75 percent load, but

drops to a healthy 87+ at full load. This matches the Corsair HX1000W at

12V weighted full load but exceeds it on the rest. The 5V standby

dropped a little low, but was still well within ATX spec - there's not

much to criticise at all really, it did what it said on tin pretty solidly.

The biggest surprise was just how quiet it was at full load - it

definitely wasn't silent and there was some obvious bearing noise from

the Globe Fan (also a subsidiary of Enermax), but it wasn't intrusive

and the noise was mostly a general rush of air, rather than a tornado

like so many others.

The air was only warm to touch, not hot, even after a while left loaded

fully, and the sides and base remained only moderately warm to touch.

All in all, we're really quite impressed at this early stage./

*Cheers guys!
