Introduction
Enermax Technology was founded in 1990, and at time, it was well known for it's high quality power supplies, manufactured by owned manufacturing units. With the passage of time, the market competition gradually lifted, especially in the OEM market, which affect the Enemrax’s market share. They were OEM designer, but not anymore, and at present, Enermax Power supplies are not being manufactured by Enermax rather external company has been preferred for impeccable units.
Revolution X’T ll series is a success of revolution XT and is being powered by Channel well Technology (CWT). There are many known brands used CWT manufactured Power supplies, such as Corsair, Thermaltake, Antec etc. Since this unit is manufactured by CWT, we can expect something powerful and efficient.
Today, I am taking a look at Power supply unit which is Enermax Revolution X’T ll 650W with Model ERX650AWT. Enermax Revolution X’T ll 650W is featured with 80 PLUS certification - GOLD rating, suggesting it will provide up to 87% efficiency as least consideration. Using 100% 105°C Japanese Electrolytic capacitor in the build to ensures longevity and maximum stability of this unit. On paper specs, this power supply is offering 650W with 53 Ampere on a +12V rail. Such specs are maxing out this unit to 636 wattage at an efficiency of 92% at full load. So, all these high numbers are impressive, however, we’ll have to check out the power draw in our tests.
Enermax Revolution X’T ll product line comes in various wattages ranges ERX450AWT, ERX550AWT, ERX650AWT and ERX750AWT. The Review sample we have here is priced at $108.49 on Amazon.

It's a 87 PLUS ready PSU under minimum Load I: e 20% load, while it carries up to 92% maximum under 50% load. When 100% load applied to supply, the power delivering efficiency would drop from 92%.

There are a couple of Protection features that the Enermax’s bundled in the unit.
The HeatGuard, Power use fan to keep running for about 20-30 seconds, even after you’ve shut down the PC, the fan would allow to dissipate the heat from inside. This feature will result in an improvement in the system's lifetime.

So finally, we are at core, Enermax has designed this Power supply, keeping in mind, the today's trend. Since the revolution X’T is a successful series of Enermax, the design layout not different; some minor changes it looks more or less first generation. Enermax technology has used a matte black finishing which I usually prefers on my products, too. The scratchless material on the body is scratchless, while the top contains the specification sticker having in detail specs regarding the power, voltages, and amperes.
