Transient Response ATX v3.0 Tests

The PSU meets the ATX v3.0 requirements. It would be nice to see above 3.2V at the 3.3V rail, though at the 200% transient load test.

The 12V rail performs well in the ATX v3.0 tests, keeping high voltage levels.

  1. Hello! I am currently choosing between this model and MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5 850W. As far as I understood, they are pretty much similar in terms of performance. The price is the same as well. The only difference I spotted is the noise level. Am I right? Which one would you choose?
