Coolermaster vs Antec vs BeQuiet PSU Roundup Introduction One of the biggest criticisms that review sites can throw out against others of their ilk, is that certain reviews simply aren’t detailed enough. HardwareSecrets famously bashed their fellow reviewers for not making use of the correct equipment needed to accurately test the performance and efficiency of power supplies leading to ultimately misleading reviews. While XSR was lucky enough to not garner direct attention from this article we are just as guilty as those mentioned by name as in the past our PSU reviews simply didn’t utilise the equipment necessary to test what’s really important. However, today I am pleased that we’ve turned a corner and from now on all power supply reviews will be conducted with the utmost professionalism making use of fully fledged hardware testing suits. Unfortunately we’re still not quite ready to buy this equipment ourselves, but the kind folks at Coolermaster helped us out in that respect, flying me over to their facility in Venlo to get some testing done. So without further a do, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you XSR’s first true power supply review, Coolermaster vs Antec vs BeQuiet: the PSU roundup. Antec TruePower 550w Features - NVIDIA™ SLI™ – ready certified - 80PLUS® Bronze Certified saves energy and lowers your electric bill - DC to DC voltage regulator modules for greater system stability - 120mm PWM fan runs up to 50% quieter than standard fans - Blue internal LED illumination for TP-750 Blue - Advanced Hybrid Cable Management improves airflow and reduces clutter - Double layer PCB optimizes cooling efficiency and allows for heavy duty components - Universal Input and Active Power Factor Correction - Supports dual GPUs and dual/quad core CPUs - 4 +12V output circuits provide stable power - ATX12V v2.3 and EPS12V v2.91 - 1 x 6 pin and 1 x 8 (6+2) pin PCI-E graphics card connectors for TP-550 - 2 x 6 pin and 2 x 8 (6+2) pin PCI-E graphics card connectors for TP-650, TP-750 and TP-750 Blue - Industrial grade protection: OVP (Over Voltage Protection), UVP (Under Current Protection), SCP (Short Circuit Protection), OPP (Over Power Protection), and OCP (Over Current Protection) - Safety approval: UL, CUL, CE, CB, FCC Class B, TUV, CCC, C-tick, BSMI - Meets 2010 EUP requirement: 5Vsb < 1W - Weight: 2.3 kg; 5 lbs - Dimensions: - 86mm (H) x 150mm (W) x 150mm (D) Output Table Box and Bundle The box details some of the features of TruePower 550w. Take note that they state it’s 80plus Bronze certificated. We will be testing this feature later in the review. Click to enlarge Click to enlarge Along with the TP-550w PSU you also receive a standard kettle lead to hook it up to the mains, some mounting screws and a small product overview manual. Click to enlarge Product Detail The TruePower isn’t a bad looking PSU. It has a nice matt black exterior with an output table on one of the side panels. Click to enlarge It’s a semi-modular unit with a couple of extra ports should you not have quite enough connectors with the standard cables. These ones allow for extra SATA connectors and a couple of extra PCI-E ones. Click to enlarge It has a matt black 12cm fan with a glossy black grill covering it. Click to enlarge The cables themselves are braided and come wrapped up nicely with little plastic cable ties. Granted everyone loses these five minutes after opening, but it made taking these pictures a bit easier, so I love them. Click to enlarge Click to enlarge Click to enlarge Features - Unique power supply construction compatible with the following Antec cases: - Twelve Hundred - NVIDIA™ SLI™ – Ready certified - Advanced hybrid cable management improves airflow and reduces clutter - Meets 80 PLUS® certification standards - Electrical compliance with ATX12V version 2.3 and EPS version 2.91 - Dual PCB layout optimizes cooling efficiency and allows for heavy duty components - Quiet 120mm PWM cooling fan - 4 +12V output circuits - Industrial grade protection: OVP (Over Voltage Protection), SCP (Short Circuit Protection), and OCP (Over Current Protection) - Universal Input with Active PFC - Two 8-pin(6+2) PCI-E connectors and two 6-pin PCI-E connectors - SATA connectors for Serial ATA drive - MTBF: 100,000 hours - Safety approval: UL, FCC, TÜV, CE, C-tick, CCC, CB - Unit Dimension - 119mm (H) x 175mm (W) x 200mm (D) - Package Dimension - 160mm (H) x 230mm (W) x 330mm (D) - Weight - Net : 7 lbs / 3.2 kg - Gross : 9.5 lbs / 4.3 kg Output Table Box and Bundle The box for the CP-1000 is huge, hinting at the rather large and unconventional size of the unit itself. It’s listed as 80+ certified also, though no bronze rating. Click to enlarge Click to enlarge Along with the unit you also get some screws and a small product overview sheet similar to the TruePower PSU. Click to enlarge Product Detail The Antec CP-1000 is a very big PSU, and it breaks from the standard ATX form factor. This means that it will actually only fit in a few of Antec’s very own cases somewhat limiting the potential market for this unit. The full list only extends to the following three cases: - Twelve Hundred The casing for it is a nice matt black colour, with a small output table on one of the side panels. Click to enlarge The rear of the unit features a honeycomb grill which allows for maximum airflow while protecting the internals. There’s also the typical power switch near the power cable port. Click to enlarge The fan on this unit is in a slightly different position from normal, being that it’s external and mounted at the front near the cable outputs. It’s a 12cm jobby with a standard black grill covering it. Click to enlarge Along with the standard cabling, there’s also four ports for adding extra cabling. They allow for the addition of some more SATA power connectors and a pair of PCI-E cables. Click to enlarge The 12v CPU power cable header is split into two combinable 4+4 pins allowing for older 4pin motherboards to be supported. Click to enlarge Molex four pin connectors are also abound. Click to enlarge Click to enlarge All cables have Antec’s usual braiding, but for some reason it doesn’t extend all the way to the header leaving around an inch of cabling exposed. This does increase flexibility a little at the end, but really if you’re going the braiding route you might as well go all in. Click to enlarge BeQuiet Dark Power Pro 750w Features - Compatible with the latest ATX 12V 2.3 Version and EPS 12V V2.92: - Dark Power ProP8 is compatible with the latest technical standards for ATX-power supplies defined by Intel™ as well as AMD™ -systems. - Active PFC = 0.99: - Dark Power ProP8 ensures an extremely stable power supply by equalizing mains fluctuations. - Voltage stability: - Dark Power ProP8 provides 6 isolated 12V rails to offer high voltage stability. That means all components have their own separate power supply and high degree of security. - Innovative Overclocking Key: - Dark Power ProP8 enables a manual combination of all 12V rails for a stable operation of high-capacity graphics cards. - DC/DC-Technology: - Dark Power ProP8 provides DC/DC-Technology for high efficiency and stable performance. - Hold-up time: - Dark Power ProP8 offers up to 30ms of hold-up time (at 100% load), meaning the power supply guards against mains fluctuations. - Cooling: - Dark Power ProP8 features a silent 120mm be quiet! SilentWings fan to provide automatic and reliable control of temperature and speed. - Low volume: - Dark Power ProP8 employs the Ultra Silent Concept to ensure highly silent operation, which means your entire system will run exceptionally quietly. - Long lifetime: - Dark Power ProP8 offers a long lifetime of up to 100,000 hours at 25°C. Output Table Box and Bundle The box for the Dark Power 750w has a few features and specifications listed, with a small 80 plus silver badge. Click to enlarge The bottom has a few site logos and award images listed. Don’t see XSR on there BeQuiet… tut tut. Click to enlarge Along with the PSU itself you get a power cable, some cable ties and mounting screws and a fancy overclocking jumper (explained later). This can also connect up with the bundled PCI bracket giving you an overclocking mode on/off switch. Click to enlarge Product Detail The BeQuiet DarkPower, I have to say looks pretty nice. It’s got a sophisticated looking paint job and while standard ATX in format, it’s got some unique stylings in the setup of its fan grill. Click to enlarge Click to enlarge There’s the usual output table on the side panel. Click to enlarge Honeycomb grill on the rear, with all metal being plastic coated for style purposes. While unecessary, it just adds a nice bit of flair to the unit. Click to enlarge The DarkPower is fully modular with specific PCI-E, motherboard/CPU, and drive ports. There’s also four specific 3pin fan header connectors, allowing for people to have a large ammount of fans without 4pin molex converters. There’s also a small “OCK” port which is an abbreviated form of Overclocking. This is a 4 rail PSU, so while good for overcurrent protection, it’s not so ideal for overclocking which can strain one of the rails. This jumper/port allows you to switch to a single rail setup giving you more overclocking head room. Click to enlarge One functional feature of the BeQuiet DarkPower is this small directional cable holder… thing. It allows the sleeved cabling to be directed far more easily without risk of ripping the braiding. Click to enlarge Like the Antec PSUs the braiding on the cables does not extend all the to the header, leaving an inch or two of bare cabling. Click to enlarge Since the DarkPower is fully modular, there’s a lot of cables that you can utilise. Along with the usual SATA, Molex cables you get four PCI-E cables; meaning four way SLI or XFire setups are possible. Click to enlarge Click to enlarge You also get four 3pin to 4pin molex fan connectors should you prefer to use that header instead of the smaller 3pin. Click to enlarge Dark Power Pro 1000w The box for the DarkPower 1000w is exactly the same as the 750w but with a different wattage rating. It also sports the 80+ silver badge. The unit itself is near identical, looking pretty fancy also. Click to enlarge Click to enlarge Feautres on this one are identical to its smaller brother. Click to enlarge Click to enlarge The only real visual difference is that the rear has the 1000w plastic badge around the kettle lead input. Click to enlarge Coolermaster Gold Silent Pro M600 and M800 Unfortunately I was a little too caught up in testing to get many pictures of the Coolermaster Silent Pro Gold M600 and M800 units and their packaging. I did however get a few. Both units are identical apart from badgets, and are pretty subtle; apart from the gold of course. The casing is a nice matt black, with a couple of touches of white and gold in places. Sure the gold coated grill is a little garish, but over all the PSUs are pretty subdued in their stylings. Click to enlarge Bent badges, the price you pay for photographing products after testing. Click to enlarge The rear grill is honeycombed, and features a Coolermaster badge next to the power socket and switch. Click to enlarge The Gold Power units are both modular, featuring additional cabling points for two PCI-E connectors, and several additional HDD and molex power cables. Click to enlarge Click to enlarge Like the PSUs we’ve been looking at from other manufacturers, all cabling is sleeved with a nice black braiding. Click to enlarge Testing Test Equipment Due to use using some rather different testing equipment than usual, we’ve listed the harware below and explained what each of them does. Chroma AC Source 6530 A programmable alternating current power source which can be adjusted to output specific voltages and frequencies. This allows for the testing of both European standard 230v and American standard 115v. Yokogawa WT210 A high-end digital power meter, this allows us to correctly determine the ammount of power the PSU is drawing in order to output a specific wattage. Chroma DC-Loads 63303 and 63306 We utilised two 63303 and a single 63306 machine to accurately program and simulate specific loads on each PSU tested. They also gave us our voltage readouts for the stability tests and allowed for the overcharge and short circuit tests to be performed. Tektronix Oscilloscope DPO3034 with TCP150 Probe A four channel, 300mhz ‘scope allows for the recording of voltage, current, frequency and rise and fall times. We utilised the screenshot feature to capture our Hold Up Time and In-Rush current screenshots. Chroma Test Fixture This provided connection points for the PSU being tested along with measure points for the meters and ‘scope; also a handy PSU on off button. Fluke 8845A Utilised to test single rail PSUs, the Fluke is a highly accurate voltage, current and frequency measuring tool. Two Channel Thermometer Measures two temperatures from individual probes simultaneously. This allows for the measuring of in and out air temperatures to the PSU. Methodology While XSR isn’t necessarily one of the most technologically deep review websites around, this time things are going to get a little heavy. In this review we have the real deal, fully fledged PSU testing straight from the Coolermaster facility. Compared to our usual multimeter tests, this time we will be utilising some very expensive equipment to objectively test several aspects of each power supply, combining them with some subjective tests to provide an all round view of each PSU. The tests we ran were as follows: Voltage Stability Voltages are measured under different load conditions on each rail and then compared to their ideal rating (3.3, 5.0, 12.0). Utilising the 3-5% scale of acceptable voltage fluctuation championed by HardwareSecrets we then list whether the rail was Good (if within 3% of the ideal), Ok (if within 5% of ideal) or Fail (if more than 5% from ideal). In the latter case, we will discuss what the result was and by how much it actually did fluctuate. Efficiency Efficiency allows us to calculate how much power is wasted during the conversion process from AC to DC. It also allows us to check whether 80+ ratings are accurate. It’s calculated by comparing input and output voltages: - Power supply is set to specific load wattages utilising the Chrome DC-Loads 63303 and 63306, e.g. 800w - Input power is measured to a high precision with the Yokogawa WT210, e.g. 1000w - Compare input wattage to output: 800w / 1000w = 80% efficiency. Efficiency is measured for 80+ ratings at 100%, 50% and 20%. This is known by many PSU manufacturers, so they engineer their units to test well at these wattages. However, more often than not, especially with larger PSUs, 10-15% is more important as that is what the PC pulls when at idle; which is most of the time. Therefore we also tested several other fixed wattage efficiencies that we felt were important to recognise. Efficiency was measured at the following standard load percentages: and at fixed wattages of: Inrush Current Inrush current is the level of ampage that passes through the PSU’s components when the unit is first switched on. The Tektronix Oscilloscope is utilised to measure the current and record it’s peak when the PSU is powered up. Hold Up Time This measures how long it takes for the 12v rail to lose it’s charge after the power source has been eliminated. This feature is designed to safeguard the user from random drops in your mains power. Short Circuit Protection Making use of the Chroma DC-Loads we were able to push massive ampages through the PSU on each individual rail. If the PSU’s short circuit protection works correctly this should shut the unit down to prevent damage to the PSU itself, and any other internal components. This simulates a power spike. Overload This checks if the PSU can deliver the full ampage that its 12v rails are rated at, whilst also seeing what the unit’s max ampage is across the 12v rails. The higher the result, the increased potential to handle more power hungry hardware. Temperature Utilising the twin probes on the two channel thermometer the air temperature entering the PSU was measured alongside the air leaving the unit. These results were then compared to show what temperature difference is found between the two. The lower the result, the less heat output from the PSU being tested. Noise Since we did not have a decibel with a high enough sensitivity to hand, we had to test noise subjectively. The units were turned on and listened to to see how loud they get under idle and load conditions. Results 12v Rails Explained It needs to be known that the tested PSUs have a variety of different 12v rail configurations. Voltage Stability The ratings used for these results are: - Good: within a 3% margin or the ideal voltage - Ok: within a 5% margin of the ideal voltage - Fail: more than a 5% margin from the ideal voltage For -12v rail the following set of percentage margins are used: - Good: within a 5% margin or the ideal voltage - Ok: within a 10% margin of the ideal voltage - Fail: more than a 10% margin from the ideal voltage Results Analysis Interestingly while most of the PSUs had no real problems with rail stability, the Coolermaster Gold M800 dipped out of the 5% range on it’s -12v rail quite a few times. It wasn’t much though as the lowest it went was 11.3750 (only just outside the 5% range), but it was a noticeable drop when compared to the other units tested here. Efficiency For these graphs, please take note that the wattage ratings are not to scale and that the curve would be represented differently with linear jumps for wattage. Results Analysis The Antec TruePower did alright in this test, but the CP1000 was pretty horrendous. It fails any form of 80+ certification at 100% load on a 115 voltage, and the efficiency drops off massively after the 20% standard measurement. By the 85w fixed wattage rating we hit under 70% efficiency which means that for 85 watts, you’re actually pulling 125 and 124 watts for 230v/115v respectively. The Coolermaster units are clearly the kings of the hill, with their gold 80+ certification holding strong at rated wattage percentages of 20, 50 and 100. They also do well at our lower fixed wattage tests which are much better simulations of a standard gaming PC at idle. However, they only achieve this number one spot by a nose, as BeQuiet’s PSUs which are “only” rated at 80+ silver are hot on their heels delivering on a fraction of a percent less at the rated wattage percentages and maintaining good efficiency levels in our fixed wattage tests. InRush Current Inrush current is the load that hits the internal circuitry of the PSU when first switched on. The lower the better as it puts less stress on internal components. This is the kind of thing that blows cheap PSUs when you flick the mains on. The result you’re looking for is the third from the top ampage reading in the top right. Antec TP550 Click to enlarge Antec CP1000 Click to enlarge BeQuiet Dark Power 750 Click to enlarge BeQuiet Dark Power 1000 Click to enlarge CoolerMaster Gold 600 Click to enlarge Coolermaster Gold 800 Click to enlarge Results Analysis While it’s understandable tht the bigger the PSU, the higher the InRush current, it’s interesting to see that the Coolermaster PSUs have much higher results per wattage than the other PSUs. Antec takes home this one though. Hold Up Time Hold up time is how long the 12v rail maintains a charge above 9.6v (which is required to keep the system on). The longer it is, the more chance you have of not losing power to your PC when you have random drops in mains grid power. The result you’re looking for is the third from the top ms rating. Click to enlarge Click to enlarge Click to enlarge Click to enlarge Click to enlarge Click to enlarge Results Analysis Coolermaster’s M600 Gold comes out on top in this test, but they’re all above acceptable levels. Short Circuit Protection Short circuit protection is basically the PSUs protective shut down sequence that initiates if a short circuit is detected in the PSU, forcing a massive ammount of current through the regulator circuit. This is a simple pass/fail results system with a pass meaning it did shut down, a fail indicating it did not; potentially melting/exploding/dieing. Pretty uneventful test as all passed with no problems on every rail. May want to ask the guys at PerformanceHardware what happened with their Enermax PSU though… Overload This was a simple test where we pushed the combined ampage of the 12v rails on each PSU to see what the truly max out at. The higher the better as potentially they could handle higher powered hardware like multi-GPU setups. BeQuiet clearly takes this crown with their DarkPower 1000 in overall load potential. However it did this in it’s 6 rail setup, the Coolermaster units were able to achieve comparible results to the Dark Power 750 with only single rail options which is impressive. The BeQuiet units can switch to single rail setups using the OCK jumper, though unfortunately we didn’t manage to test them under those conditions. Temperature With thermal results, the lower the better as the lesser the impact on air temperature, the less impact on case temperatures. All but one of the PSUs have very little impact on temperature. Interestingly it’s the custom designed Antec CP1000 bringing up the rear. You’d think if you were breaking from ATX form factors, you might design a new one that had less of a thermal impact? Noise Considering we didn’t have a decibel metre of effective sensitivity, this test was completely subjective. To make this easier to put in a table, I’ve assigned a number rating of 1-10 (where 1 is silent, and 10 is a aggravatingly loud) for idle and load states for each PSU when standing a metre away. Cost Well BeQuiet certainly hits the top of the pricing when it comes to these units, but the Coolermaster Golds arn’t far behind them. Antec’s are easily the cheapest per wattage. Limitations While this test suit is pretty all encompassing, there are still a few things we would like to have done that we didn’t manage to achieve. Electrical noise and ripple would have been nice, and due to limited access to the PSU’s we’re tested we weren’t able to take internal shots of each unit. An objective noise test would also have been good to have achieved. We’re always proud of our reviews and their content, but would never consider them perfect. We always feel we have room to improve as reviewers and aim to incorporate some of these tests in our next PSU roundup. Raw Data Tables The following are images of the raw data tables allowing you to see the exact voltage, ampage and wattage results that were taken during testing. While all of these results are shown elsewhere with tables and graphs, this allows those of you who want that bit more detail to have access to all the information we had to formulate this review. Subsequently, if you notice any mistakes we’ve made in converting the data to a more readable format, please let us know. Please note that the reason the 3rd and 4th 12v rails in the DarkPower Pro 1000 wattage results appear high, is because they contain the results of 2 x 12v rails. This is due to the testing setup only being able to support a maximum of 4 12v rails at any one time. Voltage results on the 12v rails for the Coolermaster PSUs are all the same as they only have single rails.

However, since we reviewed power supplies from three companies, and each manufacturer gave us a smaller unit and a larger unit, I think I can pick a winner of the roundup for each respective size group. For the smaller units, I have to say the Antec TruePower 550w performed the best across the board. It may not have come top in anything, but it was the best small unit across all the tests. It had a good efficiency, stable rails, low noise levels and a very low in-rush current. With it’s reasonable price tag also it makes an excellent purchase. When it comes to the bigger units, while it certainly is expensive, I have to go with the BeQuiet Dark Power Pro 1000. It had the most potential ampage in the overload test, stable rails – though not the most stable, excellent efficiency and great noise and temperature scores. It showed itself up a little in the in-rush current test, but the other big units wern’t far behind. In short it might cost a lot, but from our testing it was certainly the king of the hill if you want raw power without sacrificing quality. To cap things off, if I had to pick a dud from the group, it would have to be the CP1000 from Antec. This is a PSU specifically designed by the company to break from the norm, and fits only in their cases. While that is a downside, you’d think they’d take the opportunity to bring in extra features or higher quality components to offset you needing to buy their chassis as well. Unfortunately that simply wasn’t the case, with higher temperatures, poor low and maximum wattage efficiency; on top of that it’s quite ugly too. While the price isn’t anywhere near as high as the comparible wattage DarkPower Pro, it’s clear to see why. Coolermaster’s units are both excellent in their own right, and are incredibly efficient with their 80+ Gold standard. However the rail stability and the fact that they just wern’t quite as hefty as the BeQuiet units held them back from the win. In their own right though, fantastic PSUs which I would recommend to anyone especially the more energy concious. Antec TP550 Antec CP1000 BeQuiet Dark Power Pro 750 BeQuiet Dark Power Pro 1000 Coolermaster Silent Pro Gold M600 Coolermaster Silent Pro Gold M800 More A big thank you goes to Coolermaster for allowing us to use their testing facility and to BeQuiet and Antec for their PSUs.

Daingneáin Tástáil chroma Sholáthar sé seo pointí nasctha ar an PSU á thástáil chomh maith le pointí beart do na méadar agus 'scóip; chomh maith PSU handy ar an gcnaipe as. 8845A Fluke Úsáidte a thástáil PSUs iarnróid amháin, is é an Fluke voltas thar a bheith cruinn, uirlis tomhais reatha agus minicíocht. Dhá Teirmiméadar Channel Bearta dhá teocht ó probes aonair ag an am céanna. Ligeann sé seo do thomhas isteach agus amach teocht an aeir ar an PSU. Modheolaíocht Cé nach bhfuil XSR gá ar cheann de na láithreáin ghréasáin athbhreithniú is domhain teicneolaíochta ar fud, an uair seo go bhfuil rudaí ag dul a fháil trom beag. San athbhreithniú atá againn ar an déileáil fíor, iomlán a bhunú PSU tástáil díreach as an tsaoráid Coolermaster. I gcomparáid le ár tástálacha multimeter is gnách, an uair seo beidh muid ag baint úsáide as roinnt trealamh an-chostasach a thástáil go hoibiachtúil gnéithe éagsúla de gach soláthar cumhachta, le chéile iad le roinnt tástálacha suibiachtúla a chur ar fáil léargas ar gach babhta de gach PSU. Tá na tástálacha ar siúl againn iad seo a leanas: Cobhsaíochta Voltage Voltais a thomhas faoi choinníollacha ualach éagsúla ar gach iarnróid agus ansin i gcomparáid leis an rátáil a idéalach (3.3, 5.0, 12.0). Úsáid an scála 3-5% de voltas inghlactha luaineachta throid ag HardwareSecrets muid liosta ansin cibé an raibh an iarnróid Dea (más laistigh de 3% de na idéalach), OK (más laistigh de 5% de na idéalach) nó Teip (má tá níos mó ná 5% ó idéalach). Sa chás deireanach sin, beidh muid ag plé a dhéanamh ar an méid a bhí an toradh agus an méid sé i ndáiríre raibh luainiú. Éifeachtacht Éifeachtacht ligeann dúinn a ríomh cé mhéad de chumhacht amú le linn an phróisis athrú ó AC go DC. Ceadaíonn sé dúinn freisin a sheiceáil cibé an bhfuil 80 + rátálacha cruinn. Tá sé seo a ríomh trí chomparáid a ionchur agus aschur voltais: - Tá Power soláthar a leagtar a wattages ualach faoi leith ag baint úsáide as an Chrome DC-Ualaí 63,303 agus 63,306, m.sh. 800w - Tá Ionchur chumhacht a thomhas le cruinneas ard leis an WT210 Yokogawa, m.sh. 1000w - Déan comparáid idir wattage ionchur aschur: 800w / 1000w = éifeachtacht 80%. Éifeachtacht a thomhas ar feadh 80 rátálacha + ag 100%, 50% agus 20%. Tá sé seo ar eolas ag monaróirí PSU go leor, agus mar sin siad innealtóir a n-aonaid a thástáil go maith ag na wattages. Mar sin féin, níos minice ná a mhalairt, go háirithe le PSUs níos mó, tá 10-15% níos tábhachtaí mar go bhfuil go bhfuil an méid pulls an ríomhaire nuair ag díomhaoin; is mó den am. Dá bhrí sin, tástáil dúinn freisin roinnt éifeachtachtaí wattage seasta eile a mhothaigh muid go raibh tábhachtach a aithint. Tomhaiseadh Éifeachtacht ag na céatadáin ualaigh seo a leanas caighdeánach: agus ag wattages seasta seo a leanas: Inrush Reatha Is é atá ann faoi láthair Inrush an leibhéal ampage a théann trí chomhpháirteanna an PSU nuair atá an t-aonad den chéad uair ar siúl. Is é an Oscilloscope Tektronix úsáid a thomhas atá ann faoi láthair agus a thaifeadadh tá sé buaic nuair a bhíonn an PSU faoi thiomáint suas. Coinnigh suas Am Seo bearta cé chomh fada a thógann sé ar an iarnród 12v a chailleadh sé muirear tar éis an fhoinse cumhachta a dhíchur. Tá an ghné seo a ceapadh chun chosaint an t-úsáideoir ó titeann randamach i do chumhacht príomhlíonra. Cosaint Chuarda Gearr Úsáid a bhaint as an chroma DC-Ualaí raibh muid in ann a bhrú ampages ollmhór tríd an PSU ar gach iarnróid aonair. Má oibríonn cosaint an PSU ar chuaird gearr i gceart ba chóir é seo stoptar an t-aonad síos chun cosc a chur damáiste don PSU féin, agus aon comhpháirteanna eile inmheánach. Sé seo insamhladh ar spíce cumhachta. Ró-luchtú Seo seiceálacha más féidir leis an PSU sheachadadh ampage iomlán go bhfuil a chuid ráillí 12v a rátáil ag an am céanna féachaint cad é an aonaid uas ampage ar fud na ráillí 12v. An níos airde an toradh, an cumas méadaithe chun déileáil le crua-earraí níos mó cumhachta ocras. Teocht Úsáid a bhaint as na tóireadóirí cúpla ar teirmiméadar an dá cainéal a thomhas an teocht an aeir ag teacht isteach sa PSU in éineacht leis an aer ag fágáil an t-aonad. Na torthaí i gcomparáid ansin chun a thaispeáint cad é an difríocht teocht fáil idir an dá. An níos ísle ar an thoradh air sin, an t-aschur teasa níos lú ón PSU á thástáil. Torann Ós rud é nach raibh againn a deicibeil le íogaireacht ard go leor ar láimh, a bhí againn torann a thástáil subjectively. Bhí bliain d'aois na haonaid ar agus d'éist a fheiceáil conas a fhaigheann siad os ard faoi na coinníollacha díomhaoin agus ualach. Torthaí Rails 12v Míniú Caithfidh sé a bheith ar eolas go bhfuil an PSUs tástáil ar réimse na bhfoirmíochtaí éagsúla 12v iarnróid. Cobhsaíochta Voltage Is iad na rátálacha a úsáidtear le haghaidh na torthaí: - Go maith: taobh istigh de corrlach 3% nó an voltas idéalach - OK: laistigh corrlach 5% den voltas idéalach - Fail: níos mó ná corrlach 5% ón voltas idéalach Do-12v iarnróid an tsraith seo a leanas corrlaigh céatadáin a úsáid: - Go maith: taobh istigh de corrlach 5% nó an voltas idéalach - OK: laistigh corrlach 10% den voltas idéalach - Fail: níos mó ná corrlach 10% ón voltas idéalach Torthaí Anailís Interestingly cé go raibh an chuid is mó de na PSUs aon fadhbanna dáiríre le cobhsaíocht iarnróid, tumtha an Óir Coolermaster M800 as an raoin 5% ar tá sé-12v iarnróid go leor cúpla uair. Ní raibh sé i bhfad cé mar a bhí an líon is ísle chuaigh sé 11.3750 (ach amháin díreach taobh amuigh den réimse 5%), ach bhí sé titim faoi deara i gcomparáid leis na haonaid eile a tástáladh anseo. Éifeachtacht I gcás na graif, le do thoil a chur faoi deara nach bhfuil na rátálacha wattage de réir scála agus go mbeadh an gcuar ionadaíocht a bheith éagsúil le jumps líneach le haghaidh wattage. Torthaí Anailís An TruePower Antec raibh ceart go leor sa scrúdú seo, ach an CP1000 a bhí go leor horrendous. Go mainneoidh sé aon chineál 80 deimhniúcháin + ag ualach 100% ar voltas 115, agus titeann éifeachtacht amach massively tar éis an tomhas 20% caighdeánach. De réir an rátáil wattage 85w seasta bhuail muid faoi bhun 70% éifeachtacht a chiallaíonn go bhfuil do 85 vata, agus tú ag tarraingt i ndáiríre 125 agus 124 vata do 230v/115v faoi seach. Is iad na haonaid Coolermaster go soiléir na Rithe an cnoc, lena n-ór 80 + deimhniúcháin a bhfuil láidir ag céatadáin vatacht rátáil de 20, 50 agus 100. Déanann siad go maith freisin ar ár tástálacha wattage níos ísle seasta atá insamhaltaí i bhfad níos fearr ar PC cluichíochta caighdeánach ag díomhaoin. Mar sin féin, tá siad a bhaint amach ach an uimhir amháin ar an láthair ag srón, mar PSUs BeQuiet ar a "ach" rátáil ag 80 + airgid bhfuil te ar a n-heels seachadadh codán de faoin gcéad níos lú ag na céatadáin wattage rátáilte agus a choimeád ar bun leibhéil éifeachtachta maith i ár tástálacha wattage seasta. InRush Reatha Is é Inrush reatha an t-ualach go amas an circuitry inmheánach an PSU nuair a aistrigh an chéad. An níos ísle ar an níos fearr mar cuireann sé strus níos lú ar comhpháirteanna inmheánach. Is é seo an saghas rud go blows PSUs saor nuair a flick tú an bpríomhlíonra ar. Is é an toradh a bhíonn tú ag lorg ar an tríú duine ó léamh ampage is fearr i an ceart barr.

Antec Bíonn baile an gceann seo cé. Coinnigh suas Am Coinnigh suas-am cé chomh fada is coinníonn an iarnróid 12v táille os cionn 9.6v (atá ag teastáil a choinneáil ar an gcóras ar). An níos faide go bhfuil sé, an seans níos mó a bhfuil tú nach chailliúint chumhacht chun do ríomhaire nuair a tá tú titeann randamach i gcumhacht greille phríomhlíonra.

Cosaint Chuarda Gearr Tá cosaint chuaird gearr go bunúsach an stoptha PSUs cosanta síos seicheamh go dtionscnóidh má chuaird gearr aimsíodh sa PSU, forcing a ammount ollmhór sruth tríd an chiorcad rialtóir. Is é seo an pas simplí / theipeann torthaí córas le brí pas raibh stoptar sé síos, a theipeann le fios nach raibh sé; d'fhéadfadh a leá / exploding / ag fáil bháis. Tástáil Pretty uneventful mar go léir a ritheadh nach bhfuil aon fadhbanna ar gach iarnród. Bealtaine mhaith leat a iarraidh ar an guys ag PerformanceHardware an méid a tharla lena n-Enermax PSU cé ... Ró-luchtú Ba é seo an tástáil simplí ina bhrú orainn an ampage comhcheangailte na ráillí 12v ar gach PSU a fheiceáil cad an max go fírinneach amach ag. Níos airde an níos fearr mar d'fhéadfadh a d'fhéadfadh siad a láimhseáil crua-earraí níos airde thiomáint cosúil le il-GPU setups BeQuiet Bíonn go soiléir an choróin lena n-DarkPower 1000 i cumas ualach iomlán. Mar sin féin rinne sé seo i thus sé 6 iarnróid, bhí na haonaid Coolermaster in ann torthaí a bhaint amach comparible don Chumhacht Dark 750 ach roghanna iarnróid amháin atá suntasach. Is féidir na haonaid BeQuiet aistriú chuig setups iarnróid amháin a úsáideann an geansaí OCK, cé ar an drochuair ní raibh muid a bhainistiú a thástáil dóibh faoi na coinníollacha sin. Teocht Le torthaí teirmeach, an níos ísle ar an níos fearr mar an ceann is lú an tionchar ar teocht an aeir, an tionchar is lú ar an teocht chás. Gach ach tá ceann de na PSUs tionchar an-beag ar an teocht. Interestingly, tá sé an saincheaptha a ceapadh Antec CP1000 a thabhairt suas ar chúl. Gur mhaith leat smaoineamh má bhí briseadh tú ó fachtóirí foirm ATX, go dtiocfadh leat a dhearadh ceann nua a bhí níos lú de thionchar teirmeach? Torann De bhrí nach raibh againn méadar deicibeil íogaireacht éifeachtach, bhí an tástáil go hiomlán suibiachtúla. Chun seo a dhéanamh níos éasca a chur i dtábla, bhí mé ag sannadh rátáil líon 1-10 (áit a bhfuil 1 adh, agus 10 ina Ard aggravatingly) do stáit díomhaoin agus ualach do gach PSU nuair a seasamh méadar ar shiúl. Costas Bhuel amas BeQuiet cinnte barr an praghsáil nuair a thagann sé chun na n-aonad, ach Golds Coolermaster arn't i bhfad taobh thiar dóibh. Antec ar iad go héasca ar an saoire in aghaidh an wattage. Teorainneacha Cé go bhfuil an oireann tástála go leor go léir a chuimsíonn, fós tá roinnt rudaí ba mhaith linn a bheith déanta nach raibh muid a bhainistiú a bhaint amach. Bheadh torann Leictreach agus ripple a bheith deas, agus mar gheall ar rochtain theoranta ar chúrsaí na PSU táimid ag tástáil ní raibh muid in ann a ghlacadh shots inmheánacha gach aonaid. Bheadh thástáil torainn oibiachtúil freisin a bheith go maith a bheith bainte amach. Táimid i gcónaí bródúil as ár n-athbhreithnithe agus a n-ábhar, ach ní bheadh a mheas foirfe dóibh. Bhraitheann muid i gcónaí ní mór dúinn seomra chun feabhas a chur mar léirmheastóirí agus déantar iarracht a ionchorprú cuid de na tástálacha in ár roundup PSU seo chugainn. Táblaí Sonraí Raw Is iad seo a leanas íomhánna de na táblaí sonraí amha a ligeann duit a fheiceáil ar an voltas cruinn, ampage agus torthaí wattage a tógadh le linn tástála. Cé go bhfuil gach ceann de na torthaí ar taispeáint in áiteanna eile le táblaí agus graif, ceadaíonn an sin de tú atá ag iarraidh go mion go beagán níos mó chun rochtain a fháil an fhaisnéis go léir a bhí againn le chéile an athbhreithnithe seo. Ina dhiaidh sin, má thugann tú aon botúin atá déanta againn a thiontú ar na sonraí le formáid níos inléite, cuir in iúl dúinn. Tabhair faoi deara go bhfuil an chúis na ráillí 12v 3ú agus an 4ú i Pro torthaí wattage DarkPower 1000 le feiceáil ard, toisc go bhfuil siad torthaí na 2 x ráillí 12v. Tá sé seo mar gheall ar an thus tástála ach amháin a bheith in ann chun tacú le uasmhéid de 4 ráillí 12v ag aon am amháin. Tá torthaí Voltage ar na ráillí 12v don PSUs Coolermaster léir mar an gcéanna mar a bhfuil siad ach ráillí amháin. Antec TP 550 Click to enlarge Antec CP1000 Click to enlarge BeQuiet Power Pro Dark 750 Click to enlarge Dark Power Pro 1000 Click to enlarge Coolermaster Chiúin Pro Óir M600 Click to enlarge Coolermaster Chiúin Pro Óir M800 Click to enlarge Conclúid Níl a lán eolais san athbhreithniú seo mar sin beidh mé iarracht chun achoimre gach ceann de na PSUs sucintly ina son féin agus CONS ailt. Mar sin féin, ós rud é athbhreithniú a dhéanamh linn soláthairtí cumhachta ó trí chuideachta, agus gach monaróir thug dúinn aonad níos lú agus aonad níos mó, I mo thuairimse, is féidir liom a roghnú buaiteoir an roundup do gach grúpa méid faoi seach. Chun aonaid níos lú, caithfidh mé a rá an TruePower Antec 550w a dhéantar an chuid is fearr ar fud an bord. Ní fhéadfadh sé tar éis teacht is fearr i rud ar bith, ach bhí sé an t-aonad is fearr beag ar fud na scrúduithe go léir. Bhí sé éifeachtacht maith, ráillí cobhsaí, leibhéil torainn íseal agus an-íseal i-Rush reatha. Le sé tag praghas réasúnta chomh maith a dhéanann sé a cheannach den scoth. Nuair a thagann sé leis na haonaid níos mó, cé go bhfuil sé cinnte go daor, tá mé chun dul leis an gCumhacht BeQuiet Pro Dark 1000. Bhí sé an ampage cumas is mó sa tástáil ró-ualú, ráillí cobhsaí - cé nach bhfuil an chuid is mó cobhsaí, éifeachtacht den scoth agus torann mór agus scóir teochta. Thaispeáin sé é féin suas beagán sa tástáil in-Rush reatha, ach na haonaid eile mór wern't bhfad taobh thiar. I mbeagán focal d'fhéadfadh sé costas a lán, ach as ár tástála a bhí sé cinnte an rí an chnoic más mian leat cumhacht amh gan sacrificing cáilíochta. Chun rudaí a caipín amach, más rud é go raibh mé a phiocadh dud ón ngrúpa, bheadh sé a bheith ar an CP1000 ó Antec. Is é seo an PSU deartha go sonrach ag an gcuideachta a bhriseadh agus an gnáthghnás, agus luíonn ach amháin i gcuid cásanna. Cé go bhfuil go downside, gur mhaith leat smaoineamh gur mhaith leo an deis a thapú a thabhairt isteach gnéithe breise nó comhpháirteanna chaighdeán níos airde a fhritháireamh leat gá a cheannach a chassis chomh maith. Ar an drochuair nach raibh ach an cás, le teochtaí níos airde, éifeachtacht wattage droch-íseal agus uasta; ar a bharr sin tá sé go leor ghránna freisin. Cé nach bhfuil an praghas in áit ar bith in aice chomh hard le Pro an wattage comparible DarkPower, tá sé soiléir a fheiceáil cén fáth. Tá aonaid Coolermaster ar an dá den scoth ina gceart féin, agus go bhfuil siad thar a bheith éifeachtach le caighdeán a n-80 + Óir. Mar sin féin bhí an chobhsaíocht iarnróid agus ar an bhfíric go wern't siad díreach go leor hefty mar an aonaid BeQuiet iad ar ais ó na bua. Ina gceart féin, áfach, PSUs iontach a bheadh liom a mholadh do dhuine ar bith go háirithe an concious níos mó fuinnimh.
