This year has become rather successful for Enermax, a well-known manufacturer of power supply units. The company supplemented its product lines with six series combined into four major groups: entry-level, athlete, royal, and gold class. Revolution87+ series belongs to the Gold Class group and involves five models (from 550W to 1000W power). Model Revolution87+ 750W is distinguished not only by the availability of 80Plus Gold certificate, but also by an original branded platform developed by Enermax specifically for this series.



Features


Enermax has implemented a few striking technical solutions in its Revolution87+ 750W power supply unit. The first attractive feature is a composite control over the main inverter. The control is realized by traditional pulse-width modulation method, as well as by simultaneous involvement of pulse-frequency modulation (the combination of width and frequency in control process).


Upon the whole, this PSU model is able to demonstrate up …

Be Quiet! made a personal breakthrough in cooling area. The company has developed the first in its signature lineup liquid cooler targeting high-efficient CPUs. The Silent Loop supports all up-to-date as well as outdated platforms, including AMD FM1/AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+/FM2/FM2+ & Intel Socket LGA2011-3/2011/1366/115x/775. The cooler is ready to dissipate up to 400 W power; hence, it might be integrated within overclocking and gaming systems.



The model is a combination of a water block, patch cables (up to 390 mm in length), a heatsink (319x144x30 mm), and a pair of 140-mm fans (Pure Wings 2). At first sight, the layout is standard. However, the cooler features a range of interesting technical solutions. For example, it houses an isolated reverse pump which ensures low noise level & minimal level of vibrations. The reverse stream technology enables the injection of a coolant from the external counter to the internal one via a cooling plate. This is called to enhance heat …
