↪ Notes: Double-sourced between HEC and Andyson
↪ Notes: Double-sourced between HEC and Andyson
↪ Notes: Claims APFC, "90+" badge, extremely low 12V output relative to total, as is per usual for terrible PSUs
↪ Notes: Non modular variant of the Pure Power 10 CM, virtually identical.
↪ Notes: Weak 3.3V transient response, mediocre electrical performance, and claimed rifle bearing but yet to be proven.
↪ Notes: Platform is somewhat mediocre, no direct transient response testing available and not the best choice of capacitors.
↪ Notes: "85% 230V only", ketchup and mustard cables, not independently regulated. Doesn't have OCP according to this review.
↪ Notes: Fake 80+ 230V only certification label, ketchup and mustard cables, not independently regulated. White label. No OCP.
↪ Notes: Complete e-waste. Extremely poor build and component quality all around.
↪ Notes: 10th anniversary limited run, only 100 units with white casing & white LEDs inside.
↪ Notes: Black "CX" lettering on gray label; Double-sourced between GW & CWT; technically qualified for 80+ Silver but badged as Bronze.

(Non-Modular) 2016 (Gray Label)
DC-DC
Great Wall
modified GW-ATXBL
↪ Notes: Black "CX" lettering on gray label; Double-sourced between GW & CWT; technically qualified for 80+ Silver but badged as Bronze.
↪ Notes: Supremo Gold made for semi-modularity, necessary protections aren't claimed.
↪ Notes: Supremo Gold made for non-modularity. No OCP to be found in testing nor claimed.
↪ Notes: Single EPS cable. Great electrical performance but OTP is not claimed.
↪ Notes: Same internals as the original G2, but with white LEDs (yes, really.)
↪ Notes: OCP (12V) is either faulty or not present; faulty OCP on 3.3V allowing for OOS operation, and no OTP per Aris' review. Very loud (50dBA+).
↪ Notes: Malfunctioning safety protections that cause the unit to experience catastrophic failure and blow up. Fire hazard.
↪ 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: Low quality sleeve bearing fan, and only a 2 year manufacturer warranty.
↪ Notes: Low quality sleeve bearing fan, 85C caps, and only a 2 year manufacturer warranty.
↪ Notes: Very high ripple on the 12V rail for a unit of this caliber.
↪ Notes: Very poor transient response and ripple on 3.3V.
↪ Notes: Good electrical performance let down by no inrush protection; bad power good signal.
↪ 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: 5VSB OCP needs tuning (59mV ripple); An EPS cable can fit into a PCIe socket and vice versa, but they're not electrically compatible.
↪ Notes: Unknown number of suppliers. Missing crucial safety protections, very old platforms and very poor build quality.
↪ Notes: Over 500mV of ripple at 110% load on the +12V line is inexcusable (over 4x the ATX specification limit). Clearly a major design flaw.
↪ Notes: Malfunctioning safety protections
