↪ Notes: Questionable fan choice, claimed as FDB, model was noted as rifle in a review of another PSU.
↪ Notes: No 12V-2x6; only one 8-pin PCIe connector.
↪ Notes: The 5VSB OCP triggering point allows for excessive ripple. Ripple exceeds requirements for tier A under crossload, 100% load, and 110% overload.
↪ Notes: Multitude of minor issues leading to low overall performance, does not meet requirements for tier A in Aris' testing. Possible bad sample?
↪ Notes: 85C bulk caps, excellent noise profile.
↪ Notes: First be quiet! PSU with semi-passive operation.
↪ Notes: 85C bulk cap, rifle bearing fan. Good noise profile. The OCP triggering points on the minor rails are set much higher than necessary.
↪ Notes: Very similar to the GX III that superseded it.
↪ Notes: GX III ATX 3.0, but upd. to ATX 3.1. Yate Loon rifle-bearing. Has purple heatsinks for glam.
MWE V3 ATX 3.1 Gold Modular
DC-DC
Lite-on
Custom (modified GX III)
↪ Notes: GX III w/ upgraded fan (Hong Hua FDB/Yate Loon DBB w/ region specific DBB?) but no inrush protection (NTC Thermistor & bypass relay).
↪ Notes: Same as MWE Gold non-modular
V-Series
"Vanguard" Gold V1 (2018)
DC-DC
Chicony
Custom, but different from ^
↪ Notes: Technically qualifies for tier A by electrical performance alone, but the fan limits it to tier B+.
↪ Notes: Not to be confused with the GX II Gold.
V-Series
"Vanguard" Platinum SFX ATX 3.0
DC-DC

Custom
↪ Notes: Gray label. Custom Corsair rifle bearing fan.
↪ Notes: Gray label. Custom Corsair rifle bearing fan.
↪ Notes: 650W has 300W 12V-2x6 cable. Poor 3.3V transient response. All use Hong Hua rifle-bearing fans. Y-shaped fan grille perforations.
↪ Notes: Grey label; costdown RM-x. Out-of-spec 3.3V transients. Hong Hua rifle bearing fan. Meets all other tier A requirements.
↪ Notes: Triangular fan grille perforations. Hong Hua rifle bearing fan. Performance is assumed to be the same as 2019 version.
↪ Notes: 140mm long. Same design as the 2023 RMe, without an included 12VHPWR cable.
↪ Notes: 750/850W: 140mm, 1000/1200W: 150mm. 2023 version includes 12VHPWR cable. Early reports of coil whine and premature failures/DOAs, but supposedly fixed.
↪ Notes: 750/850W: 140mm, 1000/1200W: 150mm. 2023 version includes 12VHPWR cable. Early reports of coil whine and premature failures/DOAs, but supposedly fixed.
↪ Notes: Triangular fan grille perforations. Hong Hua rifle bearing fan. Performance is assumed to be the same as 2019 version.
↪ Notes: Appears to be limited to the Chinese market.
↪ Notes:
↪ Notes: The OCP and OPP triggering points are set too high on all rails, especially 5VSB, where it allows for extremely excessive ripple. Good noise profile.
↪ Notes: Claims necessary protections but weren't evaluated in Aris' testing, OTP was kicked in during voltage regulation testing.
↪ Notes: Solid electrical performance, however let down by poorly modulated protections and mediocre ripple performance.
↪ Notes: See notes under Series name for how to identify each version.
↪ Notes: See notes under Series name for how to identify each version.
↪ Notes: Tier A performance (albeit barely) but only a 3 year warranty since EVGA might go under.
↪ Notes: Poor transient response on 3.3V.
↪ Notes: Strong electrical performance (A tier), but with less expensive components and a rifle bearing fan.
Aurum Platinum (PT)
DC-DC
FSP
Aurum Platinum
↪ Notes: Solid electrical performance (A tier) but nothing regarding protections has been tested. B+ until further notice.
↪ Notes: YL rifle bearing fan.
↪ Notes: Uses hexagonal (in a circular shape) and oblong fan grilles.
↪ Notes: Falsely claimed Cybenetics Gold certification, units were never tested.
↪ Notes: Falsely claimed Cybenetics Gold certification, units were never tested.
↪ Notes: Updated version of the P-GM. Decent overall performance, but component quality leaves a bit to be desired (especially the fan.)
↪ Notes: Costdown NO-817. 85c bulk cap.
