The transient response is decent at 12V but needs improvement on the minor rails, especially at 3.3V, where the unit doesn’t pass the second test since its voltage drops below 3.14V. The problem at 3.3V is not the high deviation but mostly the low initial voltage level on this rail.
Transient Response ATX v3.x Tests
The PSU passes all ATX v3.0 transient response tests, but the 3.3V rail drops very low in the 200% load test.
In these tests, the 12V rail drops low. The caps change on the secondary side is the main culprit.
