EFFICIENCY GRAPH 115V

INFO

This graph depicts the PSU’s efficiency throughout

its entire operational range. For the generation of
the efficiency and noise graphs we set our loaders
to auto mode through our custom-made software
before trying thousands of possible load
combinations

NOISE GRAPH 115V

INFO

The PSU’s noise in its entire operational range and

under 30-32 °C (+-2 °C) ambient is depicted in this
graph. The X axis represents the load on the +12V
rail(s) while the Y axis is the load on the minor rails
