The OCP triggering points are sky-high, and to add injury to insult, the normal and hot OCP points are similar. To make matters even worse, the over power protection’s triggering point is notably higher at high temperatures, while it should be the other way around! The PSU is stressed more at high operating temperatures, so it is only natural to tune the triggering points to lower.
Another major issue we faced with the first sample is that it died during the short circuit evaluation between 3.3V and Earth. We had a second sample, which passed this test. However, we cannot be sure if everything is ok with such a small sample pool. Surely, the fact that the first one died during SCP (3.3V) evaluation is not a good sign.

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.
