Thortech Thunderbolt Plus 800 W Power Supply Review
Overload Tests
Contents
Below you can see the maximum we could pull from this power supply. Unfortunately we couldn’t pull the amount promised by the manufacturer (960 W). Efficiency dropped a lot and noise level at the +12VB input of our load tester was touching the limit at 118.6 mV. We couldn’t pull more than that because the power supply shut down above 890 W, showing that its protections are working just fine.
