Revolution85+ is the power supply of the premium class to own, and with good reason: Very few high-end power supplies have ever sold as successfully as the Revolution85+. It is not often that experts’ reactions to a product are unanimously positive. As the first PSU to win two of the most famous product design awards (“red dot design award 2009” and “IF product design award 2010”), Enermax has continued its commitment to the successful range with the addition of two new models. The leading PSU manufacturer again refined and improved the design, and has invented a more powerful and reliable topology that requires even less space. At just 175mm deep, the housing is exceptional compact for this PSU class. It accommodates four incredibly stable 12V rails where each rail is equipped with an over current protection (OCP) and delivers up to 35 Amps. The combined power of all 12V rails offers 99 per cent 12V output capability. As high-performance graphics cards and processors draw their power predominantly from the 12V rails, the Revolution85+ is the first choice power supply for high-end performance and gaming systems.   

Forward-looking Design
Further areas of application of the premium Enermax PSU are workstations (multi-CPU socket compatible) and servers. The Revolution85+ complies with the most current standard available for server power supplies, following the official “Server System Infrastructure PSU Design Guide 2008” (SSI PSDG 2008) rev. 1.2. As in the consumer space, with these applications, the efficiency plays a major role. Most current processors and graphics cards come with effective energy saving functions. But these modes may cause a compatibility issues with power supplies, because the PSU has to ensure stable operation, even below 1W load. Therefore Revolution85+ is equipped with the “Zero Load Design” and anticipates forthcoming revisions of the SSI PSU design guides. Furthermore, due to the implementation of the new internal PSU topology, Enermax has reduced the energy losses at normal and low load by several percentage points: Revolution85+ now reaches a peak efficiency of 92 per cent (80PLUS® Silver certified).

Twister Bearing
Like its other current PSU series, Enermax has equipped the new Revolution85+ models with its Twister fan. The patented bearing technology not only ensures a quiet and smooth rotation, but is, in comparison to other ball bearing fans, designed to be much more robust and durable, offering up to 100,000 hours MTBF.

Price Advantage
The MSRP of Revolution85+ 920W is just 259.90 Euro incl. VAT, reduced from 295 Euro for the Revolution85+ 950W. The Revolution85+ 1020W will cost just 299.90 Euro (MSRP incl. VAT), down from 319 Euro for the Revolution85+ 1050W.

More technical details

After PhoenixNeo, Enermax presents another promising gaming case. The new ATX Midi Tower Volcanus stands out with its design concept, which will not only meet the taste of gaming enthusiasts, but also find many other devotees. Deep black flames stretch from the front to the side panels. A fire of 18 LEDs blazes behind the robust, honeycombed steel mesh and sets striking colour accents. The user can switch between red or blue LED lightning. Furthermore, the pre-installed 14cm Vegas fan offers eleven different LED modes, which can be selected by pushing the light button on the front panel.

Hot Design, Cool Performance
The hot appearance of the case is accompanied by a cool interior conception. Volcanus accommodates up to five case fans. While the warm air is directed towards the back and top, the front and side panel fans blow cool air into the case. Following this concept, the power supply is mounted at the bottom to allow for an unrestricted rise and dissipation of warm air streams. The large-meshed front panel provides an excellent air circulation and effective cooling of installed hard disc drives.

Quick and Comfortable System Assembling
Sturdy, screwless quick-release fastener for hard disc and optical drives as well as for the expansion slots already belong to the standard tools of Enermax cases. Apart from that, Volcanus offers several other mechanisms, which simplify the installation of system components and enable a clean cable routing.

The ATX Midi Tower Volcanus is now available at a MSRP of 87.90 Euro incl. VAT.

Since its launch in January, the Modu87+ series has raised the standards in PSU industry. The leading technology of 80PLUS® Gold certified Enermax PSU has collected numerous awards and recommendations from international hardware magazines. With the Modu87+ 800 and 900W, Enermax now completes the ambitious PSU series.

Modu87+ 800 and 900W: High-end Gold-Class Models
The premium-quality appearance with a robust powder coated case shows that the Modu87+ power supplies with 800 and 900 watts already mark the transition from the mid-range to the high-end PSU segment. With its 175mm depth housing, Enermax engineers developed an exceptional compact high-performance PSU design. Inside the case is a highly efficient PSU topology with four massive 12V rails. For the conversion of the alternating current (AC) from the grid into direct current (DC), Enermax relies on the so called “Dynamic Hybrid Transformer Topology”. It is specially designed for the varying power consumption of PC systems and works similar to a car’s gear box: According to the particular system load, the PSU can shift to different frequencies and voltages. In doing so, Enermax significantly reduces the energy losses. Modu87+ reaches a peak efficiency of 93 per cent.

Four 12V Rails: Stable, Efficient, Save
With a combined power output of 75A (800W version: 66A), the four 12V rails are the beating heart of the Modu87+ PSU. They guarantee not only the stable and safe power supply of the most essential system components like CPU or graphics card, but also generate the subordinated 5V and 3.3V rails, which are necessary for hard disks or RAM. The so-called DC-DC converter eliminates power losses, which emerge during the conversion of incoming alternating current directly into the particular output voltages. Moreover, the splitting of 12V to multiple rails with separated over current protection (OCP) has an important additional advantage: It better protects system components in case of short circuits with extreme peak power.

Air Cooling by Enermax: Silent, Durable, Powerful
With Twister fan series Enermax has already built a reputation in cooling segment. The patented bearing technology stands for durability and a consistent low noise level. After successful implementation in entry-level PSU series ECO80+, also the Modu87+ power supplies come with a Twister bearing fan. Apart from that, Enermax developed a new and smart fan control: The SpeedGuard reaches even at low rotation speed an excellent cooling performance, approved by many independent hardware magazines: “Even with our ear just millimeters away from the fan we were not able to hear a thing.” (Anandtech.com, 19.01.2010).

The full Modu87+ series from 500 to 800W is already available. During the next week the 900W model will come out. Besides Modu87+ series, Enermax offers two models of the non-modular Pro87+ series with 500 and 600W.

The air circulation and heat dissipation of netbooks is often restricted by the limited space in and around the small casing. Therefore, many manufactures develop active or passive cooling systems, which, under normal conditions, offer an acceptable cooling performance. Since summer is here and the ambient temperature is rapidly rising, though even the best cooling systems can reach their limits. As a consequence, essential components like CPU or graphics card have to struggle at unusual high temperatures.

Aeolus N14: Large-Area Cooling with in-built Silent Fan
Netbook temperatures can be significantly reduced by the use of a specially designed cooling pad. While there are many notebook coolers currently available on the market, most cannot be easily adapted for small-size notebooks or compact netbooks. With its Aeolus N14, Enermax has developed a cooling pad, which is specially designed for these small-size mobile computers. The virtually silent integrated 14cm fan ensures a steady stream of fresh air. The wide-area steel mesh offers not only an excellent thermal conduction, but also an unrestricted air circulation and well-balanced cooling performance. Visually, Aeolus N14 follows the elegant appearance of larger Aeolus. Four blue LEDs, elegantly integrated into the design, create a harmonious and delicate light. Due to its compact size and low weight, Aeolus N14 can be easily carried along with your netbook for cooling anywhere. It even provides one additional USB port to directly connect a mouse or keyboard.

Aeolus N14 is available now, starting from just 21.90 Euro (MSRP incl. VAT).

The perception of the noise level may be subjective, but it is – besides performance – one of the most discussed topics in international hardware forums. With T.B.Silence, Enermax has developed a product which exactly meets the desires of PC enthusiasts: a powerful and reliable fan (with a minimum 100,000 hours MTBF), which works stably, silently and at the same time, cost effectively.

On Silent (Bat)Wings
T.B.Silence adopts the distinctive batwings style blades of other Twister fan series. The special shape increases the airflow rate by 20 per cent without an audible difference. Another Enermax patented innovation is the three-piece frame. The aluminium reinforced structure not only reduces the vibration, but also improves the cooling performance due to the punched air intakes at the side. They provide an additional fresh air supply. At a constant speed of just 900RPM, the 12cm version reaches a considerable air flow rate of 71.54m³/h. During the development of the 14cm model, Enermax product managers drew inspiration from a completely different field of application: at an even lower speed of 750RPM, the powerful turbine blades achieve optimal cooling performance, while retaining their silent operation.

Twister Bearing Technology: The Brilliant Idea behind “Air Cooling by Enermax“
The Twister bearing is Enermax’s main ingredient in its recipe for success in the fan market. The smart technology not only ensures smooth fan rotation and long lifetime, but also reduces the noise level significantly. A small metal ball inside the rotor becomes magnetised and holds the fan blades in place on the shaft. That way, Enermax keeps the contact area and friction to a minimum. Furthermore, the bearing sleeve is made from a self-lubricating nano material, which prevents the loss of lubricant and guarantees a long lifetime of at least 100,000 hours MTBF. The other positive side effect of the patented Twister Bearing Technology is that the blades are detachable and can very easily be cleaned of dust.

T.B.Silence is available from now on and includes all popular sizes including 8cm, 9cm, 12cm and 14cm.

"Power. Innovation. Design." These keywords are inextricably linked with the Enermax brand and they also paraphrase this year’s CeBIT appearance. The premium manufacturer presented several new products, so there was a great crowd at the Enermax booth.

Golden Power







The new ultra silent Modu87+ and Pro87+ PSU series occupied the centre stage. On five columns in the middle of the booth, Enermax presented the new gold standard for the most demanded 500 to 800 wattage range. Many users got in touch with Enermax to learn more about the new AC technology, the so-called “Dynamic Hybrid Transformer Topology”. It makes possible a peak efficiency of up to 93 per cent. Apart from that, Modu87+ and Pro87+ are equipped with a new advanced fan speed control, which slows down the rotation speed to just 330RPM to maximum 1,000RPM at full load. That’s practically inaudible!

Innovative Technology



Already on last year’s CeBIT, the Apollish fan series attracted many visitors. The patented circular LED light with up to 15 diodes and the high-resistant, glossy surface provide bright colours and great light effects. With new Apollish Vegas series, Enermax goes one step further: Users can switch between seven spectacular light effects. Apart from that, Enermax improved the luminous power of the circular LED light. The 12cm and 14cm models possess in sum 18 diodes.



At the first glance, the second new fan series appears virtually normal. Far from it. In fact T.B.Silence impresses by its extremely low noise level of 11dB(A) (12cm model) and excellent cooling. Like successful Everest and Cluster series, T.B. Silence is equipped with batwing blades and a HALO frame with punched air intakes, which improve the air flow performance. Finally, the patented Twister Bearing Technology guarantees not only a long lifetime of up to 100,000 hours MTBF, but also smooth and frictionless operation. That is why T.B.Silence will be also an optimal choice for all silent enthusiasts.

Apollish Vegas and T.B.Silence will be available in third quarter 2010.

Unique Design



CeBIT visitors have been witness to the premier of three Enermax case premieres: The main focus of attention has been the new big tower ECA5010. Its clear-cut design with honeycomb mesh front and with adjustable air vents on the top ensures best possible cooling performance. Apart from integrated 25cm side fan and two 14cm front fans, ECA5010 additionally accommodates two top fans and one rear fan. Beside this new flagship case, Enermax introduced two entry-level midi towers. Each of them appeals to a completely different target group: While the Luxuray with its elegant acrylic glass front is dedicated to admirers of stylish design products, Volcanus intends to be the new ultimate Enermax gaming case.

The new Enermax cases will be available in third quarter 2010.





Last but not least, Enermax presented some new peripheral products: The new ultra slim aluminium design keyboard Aurora Lite will be the legal successor of Enermax’ bestselling keyboard Aurora Premium. Notebooks are getting more and more compact, but often at the cost of worse cooling performance. That is the reason, why users are asking for appropriate notebook coolers. Enermax developed the elegant cooling pad Aeolus N14, an ideal cooling solution for ultra compact notebooks and netbooks.

Liquid Nitrogen and a Robot





On the Asus stage, right beside the Enermax booth, the Awardfabrik overclockers hunted new top scores. Thanks to the most stable and reliable power of the Enermax Revolution1250W, “Stummerwinter”, currently no. 7 in worldwide overclocking ranking at hwbot.org, finally set two new world records. More…

At the end, many visitors took a souvenir photo with the most striking individual of the Enermax booth: a 1.50m tall, 60kg robot, made of 133 Apollish Vegas fans.
