↪ Notes: Malfunctioning OCP on 3.3V, and transient response on 3.3V is out of spec, questionable choices of components.

↪ Notes: OTP either not present or set too high per Aris' review. Multi-rail 12V OCP is negated by being set high (>490W), but OPP is functional.

↪ Notes: Power cord isn't available unless bought with the unit, extremely noisy, missing tiny quality of life features.

↪ Notes: Protections need serious tuning; abundant amount of minute issues

↪ Notes: OTP either set over 200C or not present.

↪ Notes: Interleaved PFC. Good performance, but OPP & 12V OCP allow the unit to exceed the AC receptacle's current rating. OOS 3.3V transients.

↪ Notes: Numerous issues capped off by malfunctioning OPP that either doesn't exist or is set way too high, which caused the unit to explode.

↪ Notes: No MOV

↪ Notes: No proper transient testing, too old.

↪ Notes: OTP works on the 1200W model, however the 5VSB OCP is so out of tune, ripple suppression exceeds 100mV.

↪ Notes: Malfunctioning protections that don't engage in time before the minor rails experience a huge voltage drop out of spec.
