Load regulation is about the same between both versions. It is not that tight, in general.

The CE-Link unit achieves better ripple suppression at 12V and 3.3V but loses notably at 5V and 5VSB.

—“… a brand changes OEMs without changing the product’s name or providing some information on the box to help buyers distinguish the different versions.”
Aris, is there at least some info on the outside of the unit when it’s not on the box?
If not, that’s pretty rude 😈
only the “Made in Vietnam” can help an educated user spot this unit from the HKC one.
thanks for the clarification 😉
Totally blasted the Thermaltake Toughpower GF A3 750W ATX v3.1, but that’s fair enough.
Failure to style by TT.
