OCP is set below 130% at 12V, but it is similar in cold and hot conditions, which is incorrect. The same happens at the 5V rail. On the other hand, the 3.3V rail’s OCP triggering point is correctly set. 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.

    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.
