3.3V Rail
[HR][/HR]We will start with testing the 3.3V rail, which doesn’t cater for many of the computer’s components in this day and age. They are generally left for higher voltage rails, mainly the 12V rail.
The 3.3V rail is very close to the target on this PSU meaning that your various delicate motherboard components, where most of the 3.3V power goes, will be getting clean power.
5V Rail
[HR][/HR]Next in our tests was the 5V rail, which being very similar to the 3.3V, doesn’t power the higher end components of a computer system but is still a vital part of a power supply.
The Antec PSU proves is stability again in this test being extremely close to the 5V mark. Although the 5V rail is generally used to power accessories that can take a range of voltages, it demonstrates just how reliable this unit is.
12V1 Rail
[HR][/HR]The third test is for the most important rail; the 12V. Some brands opt for multiple 12V rails to distribute the power evenly, and to increase stability by having components such as the CPU and GPU running from different rails, thus decreasing the load on the rail.
12V2 Rail
[HR][/HR]This PSU has more than one 12V rail to give extra stability across the system. We test this rail in exactly the same way as the 12V1 rail.
12V3 Rail
[HR][/HR]Next up is the 12V3 rail which acts in much the same way as the other 12V rails whilst giving extra stability.
12V4 Rail
[HR][/HR]Lastly we test the 12V4 rail, which once again gives extra stability to the 12V rails.
These 12V rails maintained fantastic stability with minimal droop, maintaining 12V or over on all but one test. You will have no worries pushing this PSU to it’s limits as you are assured outstanding stability.
