Ripple Measurements
You will see the ripple levels we measured on the rails of the MX650X in the following table. The limits are, according to the ATX specification, 120 mV (+12 V) and 50 mV (5 V, 3.3 V, and 5VSB).

Ripple suppression is very good, and no in-cable caps are used.
Ripple at Full Load
You can see the AC ripple and noise the main rails registered (+12 V, 5 V, 3.3 V, and 5VSB) in the following oscilloscope screenshots. The bigger the fluctuations on the oscilloscope's screen, the bigger the ripple/noise. We set 0.01 V/Div (each vertical division/box equals 0.01 V) as the standard for all measurements.
