It only uses one 13A PFC transistor. It will handle 500W on 220V, but would blow up if you pulled 500W from it on 110V

What does "shortly" mean??? It's been 8 days.
Information is far more fragile than the HDDs it's stored on. Being an afterthought is no excuse for a bad product.

My PC: Core i3 4130 on GA‑H87M‑D3H with GT640 OC 2GiB and 2 * 8GiB Kingston HyperX 1600MHz, Kingston SA400S37120G and WD3003FZEX‑00Z4SA0, Pioneer BDR‑209DBKS and Optiarc AD‑7200S, Seasonic G‑360, Chenbro PC31031, Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.3.

I think you meant to post that on the Dell 750W review. It has been fixed.

I was thinking of when you were going to review the VSK3500. But thanks anyway.

Oh I was thinking of when I said I would fix the error in that review shortly

I have written the review on the VSK. I'm just waiting for Shovenose to QC it before I actually publish it.

While we wait, here's a little spoiler

Not quite. At least it is reasonably well ventilated for a Micro ATX case. If the ventilation was much worse, then yes, it would.

Test 8 (455.5W Load)
Rail Load Voltage Ripple
12V 27.8A 12.27A 24.6mV
5V 14.64A 4.88A 14.4mV
3.3V 9.7A 3.2A 8.0mV
-12V 0.2A -12.27V 30.0mV
5Vsb 1.94A 4.85V 11.6mV
AC Power 575.6W
Efficiency 79.13%
Power Factor 0.97
Intake Temp 31°C
Exhaust Temp 43°C

Should be 12.27V, not 12.27A, don't you think? ;-)
