The PSU is a standard length, which seems nothing important until we start building a PC in our dream case and we find out there is limited space. With the Revolution D.F. X 1200W unit, it shouldn’t be a problem. A fully modular design also helps to reduce space used as we can connect only the cables that we really need.

As with every modern Enermax PSU, the D.F. X meets all the protection and safety standards. It’s not a surprise, but worth mentioning.

All the cables are black and flat, including the 12VHPWR cables. I said cables, as there are two of them. One of them is using a 2×8-pin splitter, so we can use it instead of standard 2×8-pin PCIe cables. Even though two graphics cards are not popular anymore, these builds still exist, and we won’t need additional adapters if we pick the D.F. X PSU series.
All cables come in a pouch, so we can keep all the modular cables that we don’t need inside. It’s quite popular in the high-end PSU series.

AC/DC

AC Input 100-240Vac~ 15-7A 47-63Hz
DC Output +3.3V +5V +12V -12V +5Vsb
Max Output Current 20A 20A 100A 0.3A 3A
Max Combined Power 130W 1200W 18.6W
Total Power 1200W

The PSU has strong specifications, allowing it to reach 1200W of continuous load without problems. Most modern gaming computers won’t get close to the 1200W, even if we use the most power-hungry CPU and GPU. We may need it if we decide on a workstation platform from the latest series and multiple additional graphics cards.

A high-end RTX4090 gaming PC that uses top desktop AMD or Intel processors shouldn’t exceed 800W, even after overclocking. If we add more components, then we may pass it, but without overclocking, it will be hard to reach 1kW, not to mention 1.2kW. Unless we have a large PC with multiple additional devices on our minds, we can probably save some money and buy a lower wattage unit, which is the same high quality.

Even if we won’t use the full power, then the lower load guarantees us quiet work, and when the PSU fan doesn’t have to spin, then sucks less dust inside and keeps clean and in perfect condition for longer.
