Performance Rating


Overall performance would be notably higher if transient response were better.

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.


The aggressive fan-speed profile doesn't allow for a better result despite normal operating temperatures. That having been said, I would still advise against going with a less aggressive fan-speed profile because of the Teapo SC caps on the secondary side.

Efficiency Rating

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


Average efficiency is high. The PSU takes the lead from several units with higher 80 PLUS efficiency ratings.

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's average efficiency is incredibly high.

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.
