Ripple
Noise and Ripple can easily be measured by an oscilloscope. These show how much voltage fluctuation there is on a particular rail. We tested the rail stability of the 3.3 volt, 5 volt and 12 volt rails using an identical time and millivolt scale for all graphs. millivolt ripple is measured by the peak to peak size of the voltage curve.
The latest ATX 12 volt version 2.3 specifications state that ripple from peak to peak must be no higher than 50 millivolts for the 3.3 volt and 5 volt rails, while the 12 volt rail is allowed up to 120 millivolts peak to peak to stay within specifications. Millivolt figures are stated to the closest increment of 5 given their variability.
| Load (%) | 3.3V Ripple | 5V Ripple | 12V Ripple |
| 20 | 2.8 | 4 | 4.4 |
| 40 | 3.6 | 3.6 | 5 |
| 60 | 4.2 | 5 | 6.6 |
| 80 | 4.2 | 5 | 7.4 |
| 100 | 5 | 5.5 | 8.2 |
The ripple performance may be the best we’ve ever seen! Those figures are so low, it’s likely going to be a long time before we see another PSU perform better. If you’re looking for clean power delivery, this is as good as it gets.

Couple of confirmations of things we can read in this test, plus one small issue found:
• Bulletproof build without the doubt – every detail of PSU case has been made neatly, using proper solid materials.
• Full set of aesthetic cables, easy to manage them as I wish, long enough
for most of cases – connectors are pretty solid on both sides.Full set of aesthetic cables, easy to manage them as I wish, long enough
for most of cases – connectors are pretty solid on both sides. Cables finishings are in finest quality, once connected they stays secure & tight in the sockets. Bag for unnecessary cables is an nice add-on too;
• Stability – the voltages are really like frozen: idle, moderate load under full load, or quick changing load – doesn’t matter, still great stability;
• Stone cold – now will be something quite interesting: I’ve got this unit in NZXT Noctis 450 PC Case, inside of integrated shroud. The fan is set in “ECO” (hybrid semi-passive mode), fan hole is located on top (I didn’t fit it up side down by purpose), where is only 2-3mm distance to the top of the shroud. Could say the heat must be generated inside, resulting that fan will by running very often. Nothing like that… To be honest it didn’t run even once yet. It is stone cold. The lowest case fan (with very reduced speed), located at the front of PC case surely makes the air moving towards PSU a bit – and this is the only ventilation there. Really the fan in this Power Supply is just like additional bonus – been given, but we never needed to use;
• The only small issue is SATA supply cable. As most of the PC cases are
now designed with PSU located at bottom I found this cable is designed
other way round – like for PSU’s located at top of the case. That means
if you connecting two or more drives (I have three HDD’s currently)
firstly the lowest Drive needs to be connected using farthest plug we have on the lead, than next one above etc.
After connect the last top one, rest of the cable needs to go back down to PSU –
makes this area unnecessary busier than we need, which tat is only thing to consider if we have smaller / very low budget PC case.
Generally – it is really silly to compromise own choice buying cheapest PSU. And now it is a lot easier to make right decision – we can reach for not very expensive Hi-End Power Supply in the price of Mid-Class. Cannot choose better…
You should choke to die with your scam… Idiot with no life…
