They come in up to 730W outputs and have 100% flat and flexible cables

80 Plus Gold might not be the absolute highest efficiency rating, but it is the best that consumers are likely to find up for sale, and priced accordingly, so the Enermax Revolution X't line easily qualifies as top-end.

The new collection is made of four power supplies, featuring outputs of 430W, 530W, 630W and 730W, respectively.

In that same order, they bear prices of $99.99 / €99.99, $115.99 / €115.99, $129.99 / €129.99 and $139.99 / €139.99.

All of them have a peak efficiency of 92% at a 230V voltage, hence the 80 Plus Gold rating on each of them.

The efficiency at 115 V is of 90%, while the load of 45mA on a voltage of 5V is of over 50% thanks to the latest 5Vsb design.

In layman terms, the newcomer will waste less than 10% of its power. On that note, the power draw is of 0.5W or less in standby mode, while ZERO LOAD, DC-DC voltage stabilization ensures Haswell CPU operation under the C6/C7 state.

That means that the Revolution X't easily cope with even the low power states that Intel's Haswell central processing units can fall into.

Another asset is the modular cabling system. Or, well, the semi-modular system, since the motherboard power cables cannot be removed, but the other can be plugged into the special slots based on what hardware you build your PC out of.

Furthermore, the HeatGuard technology is present, keeping the fan running for 30 to 60 seconds after the PC has been shut down. This disperses remaining heat, extending lifespan and stability.

Speaking of which, the fan is a 139mm Twister Bearing model that is both silent and long-lived, or so the company claims (MTBF of 100,000 hours).

Finally, the expected protections are all in place: OVP (Over Voltage), OPP (Over Power), OTP (Over Temperature), SCP (Short-Circuit) and SIP (Surge and Inrush current). Even the CordGuard was used, to help the user fix the AC cord to avoid accidental shutdown of your PC.
