Enermax Revolution87+ 1000 watt PSU

Powering a PC doesn't take much when running a stock name brand "let's check our email and browse the social network site" system. Then again, the people reading this are likely to use their systems for a lot more than that. They will include gamers, enthusiasts, overclockers, and some who fit all those categories, or might simply fall into the "mad scientist" category. These are the ones that push their systems while editing video and/or music files, that turn the settings all the way up for anything they do, that want that little bit of extra performance out of whatever they run. These users will require a bit more power to run the overclocked, multi GPU, end all, be all, monstrosities they lovingly referred to as "My Rig". To get that power we want a strong PSU that has multiple protections, good efficiency, and, hopefully, a good warranty. There are many choices for aftermarket PSU's these days from several companies. One of these is Enermax who recently launched their Revolution87+ line of PSU's. Today we are going to examine an Enermax Revolution87+ 1000 watt PSU and push it as hard as we can to see if it meets their claims, can keep up with our system's demands, and is worth the price.
