Cougar CMX 700 W Power Supply Review
Overload Tests
Contents
Below you can see the maximum we could pull from this power supply. We couldn’t pull more than that because the power supply shut down, showing that its protections were working well. Under this scenario, the voltage regulation issue got worse, with the +3.3 V dropping even further to +3.04 V. The +5VSB output was at +4.74 V, the +5 V output was touching the lower limit at +4.75 V, and the +12 V was within the proper range, at +11.57 V (+12VA) and +11.52 V (+12VB).
