This is the popular CSZ platform made by CWT. The design uses analog controllers for all circuits. A half-bridge topology and an LLC resonant converter are on the primary side. The secondary side utilizes a synchronous rectification scheme with ten Infineon FETs generating the 12V rail and two VRMs for the minor rails.
The primary side is identical to the Thermaltake GF3 1200, but I spotted a significant difference on the secondary side. Eight Infineon regulates the 12V rail on the TT unit, while in the Montech PSU, ten Infineon FETs of the same model are used. Two more FETs mean less stress since the load is split among them and lower energy losses at high loads.
The cooling fan is by Hong Hua and uses a fluid dynamic bearing for lower noise output and increased reliability. Lastly, the build quality is high; the same goes for the soldering quality. At the solder side of the PCB, CWT also enhanced some PCB traces with copper plates, for better conductivity and lower power losses, at high loads.
