Epilogue
The Green Medel GP1000B-EDGE has good ripple suppression; it is not noisy and has low inrush currents. Its APFC converter operates well under both voltage inputs I tried (115V and 230V) and uses quality parts. Its load regulation is not tight overall, and I would like to see better transient response at 12V and 3.3V. There is also room for improvement in the protection features of the minor rails, but at least the 12V rail’s protection features operate well, and the same goes for OPP under high temperatures.
This PSU is destined for a specific market (Turkish), so it won’t interest most of this site’s viewers. Still, some will find this review helpful, and I want to help people from everywhere in the world find the ideal PSU.
Before investing in a new power supply, read my Best ATX v3.x PSUs article to check all alternative PSU offerings. You help me a lot by using my affiliate links, which don’t increase the product’s price. I get a commission from Amazon every time you do it, which can make a difference for me, especially now that I am on my own, working exclusively for my media and not for someone else.
