The transient response with normal loads is decent at 12V, and pretty good at 5V. At 3.3V, although the deviation is not that high, still the voltage level drops below 3.2V in the second test, which is something that I don’t like.
Transient Response ATX v3.1 Tests
The PSU passes all ATX v3.1 transient response tests.
The 12V rail’s performance is not competitive in these tests, especially the 200% load one.

Hi Crmaris. Thanks a lot for all your reviews and instructive knowlegde! I’m building a mid-tier mATX system with a 9600X/9070XT combo. After going through multiple reviews I’m doubting between 2 PSU’s, both around the same price:
XPG Core Reactor II VE 850W ATX v3.1
or
Montech Century II 850W ATX v3.1
Which one would you recommend? (if not a third option 😉
Thanks in advance
As far as i’m aware the 850W version is based on a different platform. Does it hold up to the 1050W/1200W versions or should i avoid it?
Slightly diff platform but still scored an “A-” rating, very good PSU, I have one in my build.
Thanks for a review crmaris. Will you be doing a review of PCCooler YS1000?
I think I have them too somewhere 🙂
