Manufacturer: ENERMAX
MSRP: $99.99 (Amazon US), £80.87 (Amazon UK)

ENERMAX is one of the “OG” when it comes to power supplies, with over 30 years of experience. ENERMAX began manufacturing PSUs in 1990 and has always been a prominent manufacturer since then. Today, we will be looking at one of ENERMAX’s latest releases featuring Intel ATX 3.1 standards – the REVOLUTION III 850W PSU.

The ENERMAX REVOLUTION III Series power supply units are 80 PLUS Gold certified with efficiency greater than 90%, up to 93% on standard loading. The PSU also features 100% industrial-grade Japanese capacitors, ensuring stable and consistent power delivery. The REVOLUTION III also features a fully modular cable design with premium mesh-sleeved cables. The PSU is covered with heavy-duty industrial-grade protections, namely Over Current Protection, Over Voltage Protection, Under Voltage Protection, Over Power Protection, Over Temperature Protection, and Short Circuit Protection.



At $99.99 MSRP, the REVOLUTION III 850W sits among the cheaper ATX 3.1 PSU options in the market today that offer native 12V-2x6 connectors for NVIDIA RTX graphics cards compared to offerings from brands like CORSAIR, Seasonic, ASUS and MSI. The REVOLUTION III 850W is also compact at 140mm in depth.
