Tier B+ Power Supplies

↪ Notes: Questionable fan choice, claimed as FDB, model was noted as rifle in a review of another PSU.

↪ 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↪ Notes: Very similar to the GX III that superseded it.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.

↪ 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

↪ Notes: Not to be confused with the GX II Gold.

↪ 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.

↪ 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.

↪ Notes: Sometimes referred to as the "Super Gold", OEM Performance GD.

↪ Notes: Costdown of the Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 ARGB platform; non-modular with Chinese caps and a rifle bearing fan.

↪ Notes: Globe Fan FDB.

↪ Notes: Double ball bearing fan.

↪ Notes: No performance data or internal shots available from professional reviewers. 3 year warranty.

↪ Notes: Same design as the OEM HP1-J-GD-F12S with a rifle bearing fan.

↪ Notes: Yate Loon rifle bearing fan. The OCP triggering point for the 5VSB line allows for extremely excessive ripple.

↪ Notes: 5V OCP malfunctioned under high temps; CSZ costdown with Chinese caps and inexpensive bridge rectifiers per Aris' testing.

↪ Notes: Yate Loon rifle bearing fan. The OCP triggering point for the 5VSB line allows for extremely excessive ripple.

↪ Notes: Overall good performance, uses a YL rifle-bearing fan.

↪ Notes: Claims OTP but not tested in Aris' review, B+ until further notice.

↪ Notes: Nearly identical to the XF.

↪ Notes: Black Diamond with a PCIe 5.0 interface.

↪ Notes: 122mm depth; same platform as Enermax Revolution D.F. 12, but with cheaper components.

↪ Notes: OOS transient response on 3.3V. The OCP and OPP triggering points are insane, particularly 5VSB OCP, which is set over 200%. 7 year warranty.

↪ Notes: OOS transient response on 3.3V. The OCP and OPP triggering points are insane, particularly 5VSB OCP, which is set over 200%. 7 year warranty.

↪ Notes: Good electrical performance let down by no inrush protection; bad power good signal.

↪ Notes: Metallic colored Silverstone logo in the center of the fan grille. 3 year warranty.

↪ Notes: Also known/listed as DA-R Gold. 1000W only shows 3 year warranty despite A tier performance.

↪ Notes: 3-year warranty, has A- performance from a multitude of minor issues.

↪ Notes: 3 year warranty, A+ tier performance.

↪ Notes: No MOV

↪ Notes: Advertised as ATX 3.1. Platform has poor transient response in 200% ATX 3.1 test, weak 3.3V load regulation, and high-set OCP on the minor rails.

↪ Notes: Overall really good electrical performance with only the 3.3V rail trailing behind in transients and failing testing. OTP isn't tested.

↪ Notes: 1000W has very poor transient response in the 200% ATX 3.1 excursion test, poor regulation on 3.3V, OCP is set way too high on the minor rails.
