Load regulation is tight at 12V, within 1% at 5V, and loose at 3.3V. The 1200 model has similar performance in load regulation.

Ripple suppression is good, although not top-notch.

Hello,
C1000 stays at below 6 dbA until 620W but Lıan Li is around 20*25 dbA around same power.
But average noise of Lian Li is lower than most of PSUs including C1000. How that can be possible ?
dBA is a logarithmic scale, not a linear one; increased periods of noise at high levels heavily affect the average noise output, while the lower noise levels do not so much. Look at the period that the C1000 is over 30 dBA and it also has periods of over 35 dBA.

Respected Crmaris, what is your impression of HITACHI electrolytic capacitors? In your perspective, do you consider them to be in the same tier as NCC (Nippon Chemi-Con) and Rubycon?
Yes, so far my experience with them is positive.
hello Aris based on your tier list which is better Unicon or Toshin Kogyo caps or it’s just on a same level ?
I haven’t tested any Unicon caps so far, electrolytic ones. TKs, the one I tested are pretty good!
so between TK LGW/LGWA/LGWB with TK LW/LFW/LFWB/LCW what’s different, i look at TK website there are no TK LW/LFW/LFWB/LCW on that product list but i’ve seen some cheap power supply with japan capacitor gimmick use these caps, so do they had real lifetime performance similar to LGW/LGWA/LGWB product or similar to other chinese caps like LTEC or ChengX ?
Not a clue, I just test whatever falls into my hands now. I will deal with details once I post the full database.
Hi, I was wondering if you could answer some questions that I have concerns about. I recently purchased this psu Lian Li Edge 1000w gold and installed it in my rig to power an rtx 5080.
With all these issues of 12vhpwr cables melting, I decided to check my 12v core voltages on hwinfo and noticed that this psu is showing readings of about 11.8v for PCIe and 16-pin, and would dip to as low as 11.6v under load.
I’ve tried checking all the cables and made sure they’re seated properly to avail.
Am I being too paranoid or do these reading look abnormally low. Should I submit and RMA and return the product?
