All OCP and OPP triggering points are conservative because this is a strong PSU, so FSP had to be careful not to allow users to overload the platform highly. The OCP triggering points between normal and hot conditions have enough distance at 12V and 3.3V rails. There isn’t much gap at 5V, but the triggering point is set low already at 5V, given the official rating on this rail.

All other protection features are present and work well. My only complaint here is that the PSU lacks fan failure protection, which is what I expect to find in a high-end, expensive PSU.

  1. Wouldn’t have expected AsRock to enter that space but it’s always a welcome surprise to see new competition. Are there any plans to also test their SL-G and PG-G units?
