Since I can't for the life of me figure out how to comment directly on an article, I'll just post in this forum...
I was reading the Power Supply Stress test with some interest. However, just like I've started observing in the past, There's a choice comment completely unsubstantiated in light of further data or any sort of evidence whatsoever has popped up. At the tail end of the "analysis" of the PCP&C 510W supply, there's this blurb:
"Nevertheless, the close to 150 Euro price tag is steep, in view of its meager equipment."
??? Meager equipment? It's advertised as a 510W power supply, and actually delivers 510W at full load. More importantly, it stays within the ATX spec during the entire load, unlike the Antec TruPower 550W. How is that "meager equipment"? The power supply is capable of actually meeting spec, unlike the Antec. Sure, it's noisy, but it MEETS SPEC.
In my opinion, I'd say that the only supply that has passed as of right now (June 18/19th) is the PCP&C. The Antec one failed (due to not meeting spec), and the BeQuiet well, "died".
I dunno. I'll have to see what the future holds for the other power supplies, and see if they are capable of at least supplying their advertised voltage within at the very least ATX spec...
