Kolink Continuum 1200W Platinum Power Supply Review
Peter Donnell / 8 years ago
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).
1200W is already a huge amount of power, but while testing the OPP, we found the Continuum was able to max out at a very impressive 1335W before shutting down. If you’re running a high-end rendering rig, you won’t have any concerns about power draw spikes causing a shutdown, well, unless you want to draw 1336W of course, but that’s pretty unlikely.
