Our third and final TTGI unit, the 350SS is identical to the dual fan 420SS.

Surprisingly, the +3.3V rail is still identical to the 520SS and the 420SS.  Even more surprising, the +5.0V rail on the 420SS and the 350SS are also identical.  For all practical purposes, this is virtually the 420SS with a different label on it.

You end up saving about $8.00 buying the 350SS instead of the 420SS.  The units are identical anyway, so we really see no reason to go with the 420SS.  Again, for $42 the 350SS is not a horrible investment, but perhaps after you see our benchmark section you will find a different power supply more akin to your tastes.

    1. No amp measurements were listed, a serious deficiency because without them there is no way to know how well each PS met its amp specs, and many brands are known to fall short.

    2. No overload testing results for shorts, excessive power draw, excessive temperature.

    3. Ripple is not just slow voltage variation also short term variation, such as for each AC cycle (60 Hz for the incoming AC, about 60,000 Hz for the output DC). I would have liked to see how the latter correlated with the memory noise test results.

    4. I hope you were careful when you tested the PS heatsink temperatures because some heatsinks are live with high voltage.

    Well for the observent people who can differentiate between orange and blue, its not an issue. Also waiting a full second before clicking it reveals the location on both the bottom left and the mouse cursor. but i can see how it does get annoying.

    yeah those in page advertisements are REALLY annoying...those have got to go. i never know when i'm going to link to another anandtech article or to an ad...i guess that's the point but it's still unacceptable

    I would like to see the review include a Heroichi Electronic power supply, I hear they are very good but I haven't used one.

    Some of your "In Page Advertising" links seem to be missing closing links tags or something so that it results in having a <link> in the middle or end of a sentence. Ex. "We had a lot of troubles with Vantec’s last power supply, the Stealth. We found an error in the production label<link>, which quickly led to a change in all the labeling on all Stealth power supplies."

    #3 and #4, thank you for spotting these errors. I have updated and fixed them.

    Cheers,

    I hope the ripple for the PC Power & Cooling 3V wasn't 2.295.. Possibly 3.296??? 1 volt drop is unacceptable.

    a little more content per page in some cases would be nice too...

    ...but good to see content on the site at all...and seemingly more regularly too...
