A 400W 80plus gold compliant power supply from In win. All I got is this picture. No further details on its design, but I tend to think it is based on LLC resonance topology and it uses VRMs to generate +3.3V and +5V from +12V.

Yup. It's seasonic's upcoming 80plus platnium compliant power supply. This one probably is a 1250W units if not a 1050W. :D

Internals of the Silver Stone SS-ST40F-ES 400W power suppy. Real manufacturer is Sirtec, also known as HighPower. This unit has a less generous 25A +12V output capacity. Look at the tiny 150μF primary capacitor! You call this a 400W unit, Mr. SilverStone?
