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.

Is adding fan failure protection considered complex and expensive?
It needs some work yes but if you have a dedicated fan controller already it is easier
Generally speaking, the Great Wall’s platform on the shift version is better and more reliable than the Channel Well’s platform on the standard version? It seems the standard version’s platform is more robust.
