Load Regulation
It measures the stability of the output voltage when the load connected to the power supply varies.

Load regulation is within 1% on all rails, unlike the Dark Power 13, especially at 230V, where the 12V rail initially started high at light loads and suddenly dropped at 20% load (from 12.185V @ 10% load to 12.032V @ 20% load).

A glance at the light-load table is always useful, as the PSU typically operates at light loads.
Ripple Suppression
Ripple in power supplies refers to the small, unwanted AC voltage fluctuations superimposed on the DC output. It occurs due to imperfect filtering during the AC-to-DC conversion. Lower ripple is highly preferable because it ensures a cleaner, more stable DC output, reducing noise and potential interference in sensitive electronics, improving performance, and extending component lifespan. High ripple can cause instability, overheating, or damage to connected devices.

Ripple suppression is good overall.
Thanks for the review, only the 850W has left. Would you say that the Pure Power 13 M is a better choice? Dark Power 14 does not seem to be as much better as the price increase would suggest.
Aris, when you ill add the certification of husky 1200w on database?!
We have them in the pipeline but we also have around 40x samples in front of it so it will take some time
