The PSU was tested without being connected to a system to adjust its settings through XPG’s application. In other words, it was tested in its default mode, whereas you can see in the table above, OCP is not present at 12V2 and 12V3 rails. The other 12V rails have high OCP triggering points, while OCP is correctly set on the minor rails. Lastly, OCP is set sky-high at 5VSB. This is among the strongest 5VSB circuits I’ve ever encountered.
Over power protection is set below 130%, and the fact that OPP is activated lower under hot conditions is ideal. Lastly, this is among the few PSUs with fan failure protection. If the fan stops by force, the PSU shuts down.
Despite being discontinued, the AX1600i was built by Flextronics and had a less than optimal failure rate. The XPG Fusion 1600 is OEMed by Delta Electronics who has MASSIVE experience with exactly the type of implementation seen with this unit. I doubt we’ll see even 1/10 of the failure rate we saw with the discontinued AX1600i. Delta are experts in this field and, to be honest, this price point seems fair. This is not a “consumer PSU” but one aimed at those seeking the very best PSU. The Seasonic really does not compete with it technology-wise. This is a unit with a 12 year warranty for a reason; Delta are experts in exactly this type of design.
The table with the characteristics indicates the maximum power of 850 watts. It’s not a mistake?
Yes, I will fix it.
