Chieftec A-135 APS-600SB Series 600W Power Supply Review

Over Power Protection and Max Wattage
Power supplies often quote as having various protection mechanisms such and the most important of these is Over Power Protection. In our testing we crank up the power draw until the power supply either shuts down (meaning the OPP mechanism is present and working) or blows up (meaning it is either not present or not working). We then note the maximum power consumption before the power supply shut down (or blew up).
The OPP went much higher on this unit than I expected, which is no bad thing, as it’ll mean this unit will eat up spikes in your power draw with ease and without your system shutting down unexpectedly.
