The 12V rail’s overcurrent protection is set above 130% because this low-capacity unit has to cope with increased power spikes that last long. The problem is that it is identical in cold and hot conditions. Typically, OCP should be set lower at high temperatures to protect the unit effectively. The same goes for the minor rails, which generally have sky-high OCP triggering points.
The OPP triggering point is reasonably set, but again, the setting is identical at cold and hot temperatures, so it doesn’t effectively protect the PSU. Lastly, all other essential protection features are present and work well.

Great review, definitely worried about its inrush current, which seemed really high. I also found TR-TPFX-650 (Platinum), would you be able to do a review on it? I mean it claims to use better material, but barely any review out there.

Thanks
Only if TR sends me a sample. I cannot find them here in Cyprus.
Can you do a review of the Thermalright TP-1000/1200? There’s a frustratingly low amount of information about it. Thanks in advance.
If I manage to find them sure.
