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.

PCs4VETS recycle tech for reuse or proper disposal. Al Shuryan and the PCS4VETS awareness project needs sponsors to help with custom builds, building and helping the foundations Veterans missions and objectives. Conservation, energy, Veterans, RE-Cycle, Re-use, learn, help, teach, tax credits, jobs. Help me Help PCS4VETS get a SHOUT OUT!alfredshuryan - Sunday, February 3, 2013 - link
No matter what the donation, support or mention is ANY help is appreciated and all adds up.In-Win donated a power supply for a Custom PC Mod/Build that auctioned to pay for the recycling, refurbishing and reclaiming of scrap by disabled veterans for disabled veterans.
This one item teamed up with a few others build a customized computer called Purple Heart - MERIT.
That auctioned off and all funds donated to PCs4VETS.
PCs4VETS used some of the funds to sponsor a E-WASTE Event in San Diego in November 2012.
The E-waste was a success, Veterans took the waste and broke it all down reclaiming metals and rare earth compounds for recycling. $1,000 of dollars worth in the semi load.
Those funds and the remaining funds paid to refurbish 100's of laptops. We have the cost down to $20/laptop, from donation to veterans door.
1 simple donation lead and built up to 100's of tools put into the hands of needy veterans and families.
It does not have to millions in donations to change the world, a life, save resources or even a life.
Thank You IN-WIN for helping me change the world,
Al Shuryan
