Load regulation is tight at 5V only, while it is over 1% on all other rails.

Crossload 3 6.3 mV 5.0 mV 12.7 mV 5.3 mV Pass
Crossload 4 33.6 mV 16.1 mV 31.9 mV 14.0 mV Pass

Ripple suppression is decent on all rails but 5VSB, where it is not that good.

    1. It will apply high stress to the corresponding DC-DC converter that expects 3.3V at its input. This is why the ATX spec sets as the lowest limit the 3.14V level.

      1. Thank you for the information. Then I’ll go back to the beginning and start looking for a new psu. I benefit a lot from your articles. Thank you.
