Ripple Measurements

To learn how we measure ripple, please click here.

The following table includes the ripple levels we measured on the EA750G Pro's rails. The limits, according to the ATX specification, are 120mV (+12V) and 50mV (5V, 3.3V, and 5VSB).

Measured ripple suppression isn't up to the levels that we usually see from Seasonic's platforms. However, this is a budget-oriented PSU, so we can't be quite as picky.

Ripple Oscilloscope Screenshots

The following oscilloscope screenshots illustrate the AC ripple and noise registered on the main rails (+12V, 5V, 3.3V and 5VSB). The bigger the fluctuations on the screen, the bigger the ripple/noise. We set 0.01 V/Div (each vertical division/box equals 0.01V) as the standard for all measurements.
