Enermax Revolution D.F. 12 ATX 3.1

Das Enermax Revolution D.F.12 850W ist das kleinste ATX v3.1-Netzteil auf dem heutigen Markt und misst nur 122 mm in der Tiefe. Es verspricht Toleranz bei bis zu 235% Leistungsausschlägen, obwohl die ATX-Spezifikation bis zu 200% verlangt, was für die heutigen GPUs bereits ein Overkill ist.

The Enermax REVOLUTION D.F. 12 850W stands out as the smallest ATX 3.1 power supply currently available, making it ideal for compact builds. Today we're checking if the promising specification sheet also translates into good real world performance.

One thing I feel I need to point out before everything else is that the new Revolution D.F. 12 line is not an SFX one. Yes, at 122x150x86mm the D.F. 12 models are almost as small as SFX models but not quite and so this isn’t an ideal choice for cases aimed towards use with SFX power supplies. Size aside the Revolution D.F. 12 850W did extremely good across the board. Rail stability is extremely good, the electrical protections work well and both the PCIe 5.0 and ATX 3.1 compliance assures this model is ready for everything you can throw at it (as long as its within its rated output). Noise levels are also very good and well within acceptable levels. Of course, my test rig didn’t manage to squeeze all 850W out of the D.F. 12, so I do expect noise to increase if your system does but only by a small amount. My sole issues with the D.F. 12 are the lack of available outputs (550/650W would be very nice to have) and the fact that it lacks PCIe 5.1 compliance (unlike the PlatiGemini – both released at the same time).

The Enermax Revolution D.F. 12 750W PSU presents a solid option in the mid-range PSU market, reflecting a balanced blend of quality and performance. The unit's smaller-than-standard chassis is a notable design choice that's potentially beneficial for compact builds. And although the OEM behind this PSU may have had its reputation somewhat tarnished in the past, Rui Sheng Yuan is a company with a wealth of experience in power electronics and Enermax is highly confident about the reliability of this platform. This is supported by a substantial 10-year manufacturer's warranty.
