Tier C Power Supplies

↪ Notes: ODM is Guangzhou PREE Electronic Technology Co. Ltd.

↪ Notes: Qualified for 80+ Silver in testing

↪ Notes: Cybenetics Silver

↪ Notes: ODM is Dongguan Changhu Electronics Co. Ltd.

↪ Notes: No OTP claimed

↪ Notes: No OTP claimed

↪ Notes: Updated M5+

↪ Notes: No transient response testing found.

↪ Notes: Sleeve-bearing fan.

↪ Notes: Appears to be targeted primarily at the Eastern market.

↪ Notes: Sleeve bearing fan. 12V-2x6 is fixed.

↪ Notes: Be wary that more variants of the Prestige are made! Same platform as Xigmatek Hydra M.

↪ Notes: Low quality fan, 85C bulk cap.

↪ Notes: Identical internally to the MasterWatt Bronze. Only difference is the exterior appearance.

↪ Notes: Basically G1208 updated to ATX 3.1, no 12VHPWR.

↪ Notes: Gray label

↪ Notes: Gray label

↪ Notes: White "CX" lettering on black label; Identical to the CV aside from exterior design.

↪ Notes: Platform is certified for Gold, might have only hit Bronze due to modular interface

↪ Notes: Internals appear to be variable based on region/batch.

↪ Notes: Subpar component quality, with highly set protections and OOS 3.3V transient response.

↪ Notes: Platform visually appears identical to the 916MC platform used in the SAMA XF, which died during OCP testing per LTT Labs. Proceed with caution.

↪ Notes: ATX 3.1 is claimed, but the unit fails to meet the spec due to poor ATX 3.1 excursion response. Treat as ATX 2.x.

↪ Notes: See notes under Series name for how to identify each version.

↪ Notes: Identical to the Hydro Pro, simply the semi modular variant.

↪ Notes: Not enough conclusive data but platform is well reviewed.

↪ Notes: Sleeve bearing fan.

↪ Notes: Sleeve bearing fan.

↪ Notes: 500W variant's +12V output is rated for 480W. Rifle-bearing fan (PY-1225M12S)

↪ Notes: Included with the InWin A1 Plus case; not available on its own.

↪ 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: Two samples no longer operated after protections testing per LTT Labs, which is not ideal, but all protections did function.

↪ Notes: Semi-modular A-BN. See internal shots here.

↪ Notes: Components are variable based on batch.

↪ Notes: Components are variable based on batch.

↪ Notes: A-BN with 300W 12VHPWR connection. Claims sleeve bearing, unknown quality fan.. Does not claim ATX 3.0 compliance.

↪ Notes: See teardown here

↪ Notes: Malfunctioning/missing OTP, no inrush protection, poor quality fan, hold-up time not within ATX spec, poor 3.3V transient response.

↪ Notes: Some degree of false advertising going on. Claims to be LLC resonant with an FDB fan and 105C caps. Internal shots show otherwise. Recommended to proceed with caution. Even though the platform is safe, it's not as good as advertised.

↪ Notes: Internal shots show the unit using the same "ICB" (in reality rifle bearing) fan as the SilverStone Triton Rx.

↪ Notes: Electrical performance is mediocre and OCP triggering points are sky high. Recommended only for low-end hardware.

↪ Notes: OCP did work, but the PSU died in the process, which is not ideal. Recommended only for low-end hardware. See testing here.

↪ Notes: Costdown of the G12 GC; cheaper components, all Chinese caps, and an even cheaper fan; downgraded to Bronze eff.

↪ Notes: Middling load regulation for the 3.3v & 5VSB rails, 5 year warranty.

↪ Notes: Subpar hold-up time.

↪ Notes: Leadex II costdown, single-layer PCB. Sleeve bearing fan. Capacitors aren't of the highest quality.

↪ Notes: Costdown GX1 with 85C Chinese caps and a sleeve bearing Yate Loon fan; intended for OEM/SI market.

↪ Notes: Transient response was tested but values were left out. OPP is set very high, but the PSU handled it and shut down safely and properly.

↪ Notes: While a functional platform, the other two "known" 750W variants are unidentifiable.

↪ Notes: DC-DC, but 12V capacity is rated awfully low, at what a GR would typically be (672W or 56A).

↪ Notes: Poor thermal management; fan has to work very hard to prevent OTP from kicking in. Can get as loud as ~60dbA (!) under high operating temps.

↪ Notes: Essentially a Thor V2 made for full-modularity; no MOV.
