Efficiency Normal, Light & Super-Light Loads
Efficiency is high at normal loads, but there is room for improvement at light loads, at 115V.
Average Efficiency
The average efficiency is high, meeting the Platinum requirements in the Cybenetics scheme.
Average PF
The APFC converter needs tuning for higher PF readings.
Average Efficiency 5VSB
The 5VSB rail is highly efficient.
Vampire Power
Vampire power is low.

Hello. This is not the first time I have noticed errors in your article.
1. Page 1. First write about the depth of 140mm, then as 160mm.
2. Page 3. APFC MOSFETs and Main Switchers. The text has one name, but a hyperlink to another.
3. Page 4. Fan Speed (RPM) and PSU Noise (dB[A]) columns. Fan speed and noise do not match page 9.
I did not read the entire article, but only walked through what interests me.
We have a saying in my country, who works a lot, also makes many mistakes. That…
1) you were correct I wrote 160mm instead of 140mm. Feel free to shoot me!
2) the link is correct in APFC, not correct in main switchers. fixed
3) The page 9 IS NOT THE SAME DATA as page 4. If you had read a bit of the text or noticed the temperatures on the corresponding graphs, you would have seen that.
You understand that in a review where a full week’s work is needed and around 20K readings have to be obtained (yes thousands) there can be mistakes!
So I would appreciate a bit tact and understanding from my readers.
Maybe I was a little pushy or tactless. I had no bad intentions. Don’t be offended.
Ive installed it today and it sucks ass, just sitting in browser it overheats and turns fan on with like 1500rpm to my hearing every 3-5min, also ive looked more closely and this review is so off, on box it says 30% fan start, its 300w, and u show us its 500w, it just cant be true
I would return it back, RMA.
I’m finding more and more sources confirming that the 12VHPWR connector is actually 450W
This is a very vile deception :C
Be careful with this cable.
It could be, because initially all manufacturers provided 600W-set cables, till they realized that this was not inline with the ATX spec.
