Efficiency Normal, Light & Super-Light Loads
Efficiency is high at normal loads and light loads, but none of the GF A3 versions passes the recommended, by the Intel spec, 70% threshold with a super-light load.
Average Efficiency
The unit’s average efficiency is high. The HKC model has a lead here.
Average PF
The APFC converter needs tuning for both units’ higher power factor readings at 230V.
Average Efficiency 5VSB
The 5VSB rail should be more efficient at 230V.
Vampire Power
Vampire power is low at 115V but above 0.1W at 230V.

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.
