Performance Rating

Overall performance is pretty high, but not highly competitive. Still, this is among the best HEC platforms I have encountered. With some small changes, it could easily catch the Seasonic-made EVGA 1000 G6.

Noise Rating

The graph below depicts the cooling fan's average noise output throughout the entire operating range of the PSU, with an ambient temperature between 30 °C and 32 °C.


With higher-quality electrolytic caps, a more relaxed fan-speed profile could be used. This would increase pricing, though.

Efficiency Rating

The graph below shows the PSU's average efficiency throughout its operating range, with an ambient temperature between 30 °C and 32 °C.


Average efficiency is high for a Gold-certified PSU.

5VSB Efficiency Rating

The graph below shows the PSU's average efficiency at 5VSB, with an ambient temperature between 30 °C and 32 °C.


The 5VSB rail is highly efficient.

PF Rating

The graph below shows the PSU's average PF throughout its operating range, with an ambient temperature between 30 °C and 32 °C.


The APFC converter is not that effective with 230 V input. This is a problem with many platforms, unfortunately. Most focus on 115 V performance, which leads to low PF readings with 230 V.
