ENERMAX has expanded its power supply portfolio with a Platinum-rated update to the REVOLUTION III lineup, introducing the REVOLUTION III S ATX 3.1, which is the focus of this review. This new model is currently available exclusively in a 1000W capacity and comes in both black and white colour variants, allowing it to blend seamlessly with a wide range of PC build aesthetics.

Positioned several steps ahead of the standard REVOLUTION III we reviewed last year, the REVOLUTION III S builds upon the ATX 3.1 foundation with notable upgrades. This is the first PSU we will be testing for the past year with Platinum-level efficiency certifications from three different certifying bodies - 80PLUS, Cybenetics, and PPLP.



With its enhanced feature set and improved efficiency, the REVOLUTION III S 1000W carries an MSRP of US$179.99 or €159.99 for the black version, while the white model commands a US$10 or €10 premium. In return, ENERMAX backs the unit with an extended 13-year warranty, exceeding the typical 10-year coverage offered by most Platinum-rated competitors. Does the REVOLUTION III S 1000W justify the additional investment? Let’s find out in this review.

ENERMAX ATX 3.1 PSU Line-up

• REVOLUTION III S: 1000W, Fully Modular, 100% Japanese Capacitors, 13-year warranty

With this broader context, the REVOLUTION III S 1000W sits as ENERMAX’s mid-range Platinum offering. It aims to balance high efficiency and modern ATX 3.1 compatibility without the premium price of larger Platinum units, while still delivering features like a native 12V-2x6 cable and a 13-year warranty typically reserved for flagship units.
