Load regulation at 12V is not tight because of a large drop in the 20% load test. Taking aside that drop in this load level, the 12V rail has the same voltage level at 20% and 110% load! But still, in my methodology, I measure the highest and lowest voltage from a light load, up to 100% load, in every rail.

Ripple Suppression

Test 12V 5V 3.3V 5VSB Pass/Fail
10% Load 9.2 mV 4.1 mV 5.4 mV 6.2 mV Pass
20% Load 12.6 mV 4.4 mV 6.8 mV 6.4 mV Pass
30% Load 10.5 mV 6.0 mV 8.9 mV 7.3 mV Pass
40% Load 11.8 mV 5.2 mV 9.0 mV 7.4 mV Pass
50% Load 12.6 mV 5.6 mV 10.0 mV 7.4 mV Pass
60% Load 13.7 mV 6.2 mV 12.1 mV 8.3 mV Pass
70% Load 15.2 mV 6.8 mV 13.0 mV 9.3 mV Pass
80% Load 16.1 mV 7.6 mV 18.2 mV 9.6 mV Pass
90% Load 17.5 mV 8.2 mV 19.3 mV 9.9 mV Pass
100% Load 24.0 mV 9.7 mV 20.8 mV 11.9 mV Pass
110% Load 25.2 mV 10.0 mV 22.9 mV 12.3 mV Pass
Crossload 1 21.6 mV 5.9 mV 14.0 mV 6.8 mV Pass
Crossload 2 17.7 mV 8.1 mV 6.2 mV 8.0 mV Pass
Crossload 3 7.2 mV 4.6 mV 15.5 mV 6.5 mV Pass
Crossload 4 23.7 mV 8.5 mV 16.4 mV 10.9 mV Pass

Ripple suppression is good at 12V and 5V, while it could be better at 3.3V and 5VSB. It is not high in the two last rails, but the competition is tough.

  1. Hi crmaris.
    After buying this power supply, I decided to test it with a tester from Aliexpress. When the tester is turned on, it starts beeping and Power Good flashes with a reading of 130.
    All other indicators are normal.
    Can you tell me if this is a factory defect or can I use this power supply?
    P.S. I checked the tester on my old Deepcool PQ750M power supply. There it works without beeping and PG blinking.
