Ripple Measurements

You will see the ripple levels we measured on the main rails of the P2-1000 in the following table. The limits are, according to the ATX specification, 120 mV (+12V) and 50 mV (5V, 3.3V, and 5VSB).

Ripple Measurements EVGA P2-1000
Test	12 V	5 V	3.3 V	5VSB	Pass/Fail
20% Load	11.9 mV	7.1 mV	7.3 mV	5.2 mV	Pass
40% Load	9.8 mV	7.9 mV	7.9 mV	6.0 mV	Pass
50% Load	10.7 mV	7.5 mV	8.3 mV	6.6 mV	Pass
60% Load	11.2 mV	8.5 mV	8.8 mV	7.8 mV	Pass
80% Load	12.8 mV	9.0 mV	10.1 mV	8.8 mV	Pass
100% Load	14.3 mV	8.7 mV	10.8 mV	9.0 mV	Pass
110% Load	15.4 mV	8.9 mV	12.2 mV	9.4 mV	Pass
Crossload 1	10.1 mV	6.0 mV	6.7 mV	18.6 mV	Pass
Crossload 2	13.9 mV	7.7 mV	9.4 mV	6.7 mV	Pass

Ripple suppression is absolutely fantastic and easily among the lowest we have ever measured. Super Flower's new platform means business, that's for sure, and achieves even lower ripple on the +12V rail than Seasonic's KM3 platform! This is definitely noteworthy! Only the digitally controlled Corsair AX1200i can meet Super Flower's new design eye to eye here.

Ripple at Full Load

In the following oscilloscope screenshots, you can see the AC ripple and noise that the main rails registered (+12V, 5V, 3.3V, and 5VSB). The bigger the fluctuations on the oscilloscope's screen, the bigger the ripple/noise. For all measurements, we set 0.01 V/Div (each vertical division/box equals 0.01 V) as standard.
