OCP is set below 130% at 12V, but its triggering points are close in cold and hot conditions, which is incorrect. OCP is highly set at 3.3V, especially at high temperatures. This is a fine way to destroy the PSU! The same goes for the 5V rail, but at least at high temperatures, OCP’s triggering point drops notably.

The over power protection is conservatively set, but I would like to see a lower trigger point at high temperatures. Lastly, all other essential protection features are present.
