SilverStone Nightjar 500 W Power Supply Review
Overload Tests
Contents
Below you can see the maximum we could pull from this power supply with noise and ripple levels at +12 V below the 120 mV limit. During this test, voltages were still within 3% of their nominal values, except on the +3.3 V output, which was at +3.14 V and still inside the proper range. The noise and ripple level at +5VSB was way above the maximum allowed: 72.8 mV.
