The 12V rail’s OCP triggering points are high and similar between low and high temperatures. This is not ideal because the higher the operating temperatures, the higher the stress on the PSU. On the minor rails, the OCP triggering points are set sky high, especially at 3.3V. Again, the differences in the OCP triggering points between normal and high operating temperatures are minimal.

The OPP triggering points are high, with a small difference between cold and hot temperatures. The rest of the essential protection features are present, but the fan failure is absent; typically, it should exist in a high-end power supply. I want to push all OEMs to include fan failure protection in their designs, even the lower-end ones.

  1. I noticed that the test results, especially the fan control, differ between this review and the report 24PS2426A for same model. Did the review test a new revision that is not yet on the market?

    1. Seems, I found the relevant report – 23PS2308A. This appears to be an earlier revision of the power supply.
