Corsair CX430 Power Supply Review
Overload Tests
Contents
Below you can see the maximum we could pull from this power supply. If we tried to pull more than that the unit shut down, showing that its protections were working well. It is important to know that during this test noise levels were way above the maximum allowed (e.g., 600 mV at +12V, 255 mV at +5 V, and 520 mV at -12 V), showing that the unit had already reached its limits.
