Final testing and Conclusion

5V Rail:

We had the same thing with the 5V rail as with the 3.3V they were both rock stable, the 12V is usually the one that flickers a bit so lets take a closer look at it.

12V Rail:

Now I put 12.15 in the graph as it stayed on it most of the time, but it did flicker back and forth between 12,14-12,15. Now this is all within the specified limits so it’s all cool. The PSU stayed very cool during all the testing even when ambient temperature was 24 celsius.

Conclusion:

This a good and stable PSU, it is one of the first on the market that supports software that allows you to see fan speed, watt and temperature of the PSU. The gauges that you get gives a cool touch to the whole thing even though you can already read all the numbers in the software.

This unit is pretty much noiseless, I had to put my ear to it actually to be able to hear it so I am sure this will fit even well in a HTPC unit. Overall it has long cables, it’s modular, and it remains stable so there is not much more I can require from it. It does not use more wattage than my Coolermaster M units so its pretty power saving also.

Pros:
+ Silent
+ Software
+ Gauges
+ Long cables
+ Modular
+ Rock stable

Cons:
- None this far
