Ripple Measurements

You will see the ripple levels that we measured on the main rails of the HCG-750M 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 Antec HCG-750M
Test	12 V	5 V	3.3 V	5VSB	Pass/Fail
20% Load	9.1 mV	7.3 mV	7.8 mV	9.7 mV	Pass
40% Load	12.4 mV	7.8 mV	8.3 mV	11.5 mV	Pass
50% Load	14.5 mV	7.3 mV	8.5 mV	12.3 mV	Pass
60% Load	16.1 mV	7.6 mV	8.7 mV	11.4 mV	Pass
80% Load	21.0 mV	8.1 mV	9.1 mV	11.8 mV	Pass
100% Load	25.5 mV	8.1 mV	9.4 mV	12.2 mV	Pass
110% Load	28.7 mV	8.3 mV	10.0 mV	13.2 mV	Pass
Crossload 1	10.5 mV	6.9 mV	7.9 mV	9.8 mV	Pass
Crossload 2	26.5 mV	7.5 mV	8.8 mV	12.5 mV	Pass

Ripple suppression was excellent on all rails. This wasn't a surprise to us because Seasonic's implementations, even the lower-end ones, are always ripple proof, which allows them to deliver ultra-clean DC outputs.

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.
