Load regulation is within 1% at 12V and 5V, but pretty loose at 3.3V.

A glance at the light-load table is always useful, as the PSU typically operates at light loads.
Ripple Suppression
Ripple in power supplies refers to the small, unwanted AC voltage fluctuations superimposed on the DC output. It occurs due to imperfect filtering during the AC-to-DC conversion. Lower ripple is highly preferable because it ensures a cleaner, more stable DC output, reducing noise and potential interference in sensitive electronics and improving performance and extending the lifespan of components. High ripple can cause instability, overheating, or damage to connected devices.
