Gigabyte Superb 550P Power Supply Review
Overload Tests
Contents
Below you can see the maximum we could pull from this unit. If we tried to pull one extra amp from any output the unit would shut down, showing that its protections are working fine. As we can see, we couldn’t pull 550 W from it. Also pay attention at the ridiculously low efficiency this unit presented during this test.
