The highest the ripple got on the 5Vsb and 5V rails was 17mV and 22.4mV respectively. The 3.3v rail did present a very different waveform to the other rails, but that’s because it uses DC-DC conversion from the 12V rails to improve the efficiency. The voltage regulation on the 12V rails was actually somewhat worse. On the 400W Power Man, neither of the 12V rails were off by more than 0.75%, whereas here, the 12V4 rail was out by 1.83%. However, this is very minor, as it is still within 2% of it’s nominal value. The voltage regulation on the 5V rail was better than on the 400W. The 3.3V rail was a bit on the high side at 3.39V throughout the testing, but it’s still in spec and I’ve seen worse. The efficiency and power factor were much better as well, but that’s to be expected on an 80 Plus Bronze certified unit.
