Average Noise
The PSU’s average noise output is low at both voltage inputs. We will see below why the 230V fan speed profile is more aggressive than the 115V one, while it should be the other way around.

The semi-passive mode doesn’t last long, as you can see in the fan speed chart, but the PSU’s noise remains 10 dBA at up to 430W loads at 12V and below 20 dBA at up to 570W on the same rail. With more than 730W at 12V, the fan’s noise is within the 25-30 dBA region, and the 30 dBA mark is passed with more than 820W, but the over 30 dBA noise region isn’t that large.

The 230V fan noise profile is a bit more aggressive, mostly at high loads, where the over 30 dBA region lasts longer, while the 25-30 dBA region is smaller. The fan’s passive operation lasts a bit longer at 230V, but the below 10 dBA region at 115V is larger.
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?
