5V Rail:

The 5V rail was actually very stable, we saw very little flickering and it averaged at 5,02V and maxed at 5,05V which is within an acceptable range.

12V Rail:

When it comes to the 12V rail which is very important to a lot of users we got some decent results. The 12V usually flickers quite a bit and was that way this time, however it was just minor flickering.

The rail averaged at 12,05V and maxed at 12,07V with minor flickering between those two results during testing. This is all within acceptable range though.

Unpacking:

Conclusion:

So we were not able to fully load the PSU with our testing equipment but we can see a hint of how it performs since a lot of users dont run SLI and Crossfire setups so this is how it would perform for them most likely. Overall, a very nice PSU with good performance and low sound level. The only thing  that would make me hesitate to buy it is the price which is quite high.

I will give our recommendations to this PSU as the price can not really be counted as a con.

Pros:
+
 Modular
+ Stable rails
+ Low noise
+ No coil whine
+ 80 Silver

Cons:
-
Price (Around 150$)

    how loud is it under load the GX

      I dont think its horribly loud and I dont have a buzz noise (yet atleast)

      That’s because the plain GX is an extremely low end design that can barely put out 500W. It was and is a piece of shit. This newer version, on the other hand, is a pretty decent ATNG design, who used to make server units.

      Also, capacitor/coil squelling is a luck of draw. It can happen to any unit, and gives you the right to RMA if it happens so.

    Funny how in the specs it says 6-2 pin x4 times and the review says only 2 and its not capable of crossfire/sli. Why should i buy a 700w power supply when i cant even connect two 7950s? what is it now 2x 6-2 pin or 4x 6-2 pin?
