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).
This being a 1000W unit, it’s likely to be put under a lot of stress in multi GPU configurations and benchmark focused systems. When benchmarking and running extreme overclocks, it’s not uncommon to exceed the PSU power rating and the good news is, we got this unit to run over 50% higher than its rated output!
