For a PSU in this class, all rails are quite stable. While we can clearly see some small dips while load is high, they are far from reaching critical levels.


The ripple voltage was measured on the 12V line at idle. With an amplitude of 17.2 mV it is only about average.


Standard deviation is a statistical term, which tells how far away from the average the measurements are. In other words it's the average of the average.
A large standard deviation indicates that the data points are far from the average and a small standard deviation indicates that they are close within the average.


Wow! Silverstone claims 80+ and the ST85F is the first unit to be able to deliver that in our efficiency test. If you look at how big of a lead this PSU has over other products, I must say I'm very impressed by it.
