Getting to the ripple testing, we can start by saying that both the 3.3V and 5V results were excellent. Achieving a highest score of 15 and 12 respectively is well-below the required amount. In terms of the 12V scores, however, well, at 100% load, 46.8 is towards the high-side of things.
Now, under EU standards, as long as the number is below 50, it meets the requirements. As you can see though, this does skirt close to the edge. Such scores, however, are not uncommon for power supplies designed with budget-consumers in mind and, despite it being on the high-side, it’s still perfectly acceptable.
| Load (%) | 3.3V Ripple | 5V Ripple | 12V Ripple |
| 20 | 11 | 5 | 19.4 |
| 40 | 11.8 | 6 | 23 |
| 60 | 12.8 | 7.6 | 29 |
| 80 | 14.2 | 9.4 | 37.2 |
| 100 | 15 | 12 | 46.8 |
