This time we measured the sound pressure level and found out, that this PSU has a common fan speed regulation. The RPMs are tolerable up to 50-80% load. Beyond that point, this PSU is no more silent than competing solutions, but we should keep in mind that most GPUs are louder while gaming so the results are fine. Note the difference the power grid makes in terms of efficiency. 115VAC means higher current and more stress for all power supplies, while 230VAC shows a worse power factor at all loads. Nevertheless, 0.823-0.988 PFC is still good and most users will find 87% efficiency more than sufficient.
All the rails fall clearly within ATX specifications. They start slightly over the target voltage and end with results close to -2%. Since this PSU has four 12V outputs, we selected the worst rail for the tables (which is our standard procedure). +12V shows the best regulation, and will have no trouble with higher voltages. Both smaller rails have less than 30mV ripple and noise, while +12V reached 75mV.

Same here. Why does an organization that fakes wrestling and is a male soap-opera worthy of donations? Oh, we are talking about the 'other' WWF, I get it...;)DW-UK - Wednesday, June 6, 2012 - link
I would prefer a label that says “$1 off to spend on the charity of your choice”.tipoo - Wednesday, June 6, 2012 - link
Buy mine instead at $1000 off to spend however you please.DW-UK - Wednesday, June 6, 2012 - link

To stick a green label on something that burns 20+ watts in the process of supplying 75? It's hard to even fathom how a modern power supply could be so inefficient.Jedi2155 - Thursday, June 7, 2012 - link
Try and build something better then.Finally - Thursday, June 7, 2012 - link
Don't have to. BeQuiet did it for me.400W Power Supplies, rated Gold, with excellent coolers, silent like hell.
= E9 Series.

Do we listen to you or the thousands of qualified scientists all over the world with the same conclusions.shin0bi272 - Wednesday, June 6, 2012 - link
or do we listen to the other thousands of scientists that disagree with the conclusions drawn from the man made global warming scientists? You know guys like the Nasa, the head of the weather channel (who's changed his mind back and forth), or college professors from various colleges that didnt get a government grant for there to be global warming. Or maybe youre just a fan of Van Jones who is an admitted communist revolutionary and felon and 9/11 truther who said "I went from red to green." where he could "drop the radical pose for the much deeper satisfaction of the radical ends." He didnt want to "put a new battery [green tech] in an old system [capitalism]. No, we gonna change the whole thing."The sooner you realize that man made global warming is all about legislation, money, and control of your life the better you'll be. Or maybe you believe that you shouldnt have kids because it would help limit the carbon footprint you leave behind... 1 child policy in America wont ever happen right? right?

Your comments bring tears to my eyes. It appears I'm not alone in my response.
