-It's not exactly a PSU-related question but more likely a general one.
From the pictures from the monitoring software, i can notice that this software is able to measure CPU and GPU temperature. Do you have any idea if such monitoring is (relatively) accurate?
-Excellent review Aris !!

in corsair link software atleast both cpu and gpu temperatures are accurate.

 

[Aris_Mp]

it takes readings from the system's (actually the individual components') sensors. If those are accurate then the software's readings will be accurate as well. Normally they are accurate.

That 12V transient response was certainly interesting, I don't think I've seen one do anything like that before

Do what?

Do what?

Go and plummet back down to almost 0V during the test

I don't think you're reading the transient response graph properly. It's not a measure of voltage but a measure of ripple (well, technically that is a measure of voltage but it's more a measure of instantaneous offsets of an average, or a highly zoomed in sector).

That or I am just missing something. I probably am. Not sure what I'm missing though. Forgive my ignorance.

For this graph http://media.bestofmicro.com/ext/aHR0cDovL21lZGlhLmJlc3RvZm1pY3JvLmNvbS9TLzYvNjIxNzk4L29yaWdpbmFsLzEydl9vZmYuanBn/r_600x450.jpg I hope that I'm not reading it that badly wrong

 

[Aris_Mp]

yes this is something really weird indeed.

Fantastic review Aris! I absolutely love reading in depth articles about anything. Terrible PSU for the price, but it's an awesome review. Congrats!

Oh you mean turn-on transient not transient response 😉
