Corsair Professional Series HX1050 Power Supply Unit Review
Jake Sedge / 13 years ago
In this test we subject the unit to various loads and measure how it effects the rail stability. In theory, a power supplies output waveform should be flat, but this is never the case. What you see is a very zoomed in view that tells us how stable the rails are by looking at how much ‘ripple’ there is. For more information, please take a look at our PSU Testing Methodology article where you can also see an example of what a poor quality unit looks like on our oscilloscope. The voltage divisions are set to 10mV.

As expected, the performance from this unit is extremely high which is owed to it’s high quality manufacturing, the noise of this is absolutely phenomenal! But I don’t need to explain how wiggly a line looks- that’s why we include pictures! Just rest assured that the power being provided by this unit is very clean and will not put any of your components at risk, nor are you likely to suffer any cap whine from the unit as a result of this.
