Overview
The Enermax REVOLUTION D.F. X 1050W packaging is very much like what we have been seeing from Enermax for some time now. The front of the package has a row of advertising that includes things such as “PCIe 5.0 Ready”, “ATX 3.0 Ready”, “100% Japanese Electrolytic Capacitors”, etc.
Among those things though, we also see that Enermax is advertising this unit as adhering to the 80 Plus Gold standard of efficiency and a quick check of the 80 Plus website shows that this unit was not certified for 80 Plus Gold at the time of testing. Moving to the rear of the packaging of the REVOLUTION D.F. X 1050W, most of what we find is the advertising carryover from the front of the package but with pictures, graphs, and more text accompanying it.
However, we also find the power label (reproduced below) and the connector count (reproduced below). The rail distribution comes from the user manual. Lastly, the REVOLUTION D.F. X 1050W carries a 5-year warranty.
The REVOLUTION D.F. X 1050W is advertised as being a single 12v rail power supply with a capacity up to 87.85 (or ~100% of the unit’s capacity) if necessary available to the 12v rail. The minor rails (5v and 3.3v) have a capacity of 20A each and the combined capacity of those two rails is 130W (this is interesting as the previous 850W model had a 22A per rail capacity with a total capacity of 120W). Combined with these outputs, we find that this unit has 4 PCIe connectors, 2 12VHPWR connectors, 12 SATA connectors, 2 ATX/EPS connectors, 6 Molex connectors, and 1 FDD connector.
We have 2 12VHPWR connectors and an FDD connector? What in the time travel is this?
Once we open the Enermax REVOLUTION D.F. X 1050W packaging, we are left looking at the unit, power cord, mounting screws, Velcro ties, cables, and user manuals. The user manuals include the usual pinout guide, power label, and the electrical specifications that we typically (as well as today) see from Enermax. With that out of the way, let’s move on to see what this unit looks like when we open it up!
