Protection Features
Check out our PSUs 101 article to learn more about PSU protection features. Our protection features evaluation methodology is described in detail here.
| Protection Features | |
| OCP | 12V1: 34.9A (140%) 12V2: 34.9A (140%) 12V3: 39.3A (131%) 12V4: 38.7A (129%) 5V: 26.4A (132%) 3.3V: 28.2A (141%) 5VSB: 4.4A (176%) |
| OPP | 851.27W (131%) |
| OTP | ✓ (160°C @ secondary side) |
| SCP | 12V: ✓ 5V: ✓ 3.3V: ✓ 5VSB: ✓ -12V: ✓ |
| PWR_OK | Operates properly |
| NLO | ✓ |
| SIP | Surge: MOV Inrush: NTC thermistor & bypass relay |
OCP's triggering points on the +12V rail are notably higher than the ones listed on BitFenix's spec sheet. The difference between the first and second pair of +12V rails is around 5A, with the latter ones being stronger. OCP on the minor rails is configured properly, and the same goes for over-power protection.
Since the +12V FETs are installed on the main PCB's solder side, we had to apply a very high temperature on the secondary side to trigger over-temperature protection.
Finally, the power-good signal is accurate, and there is protection against large inrush currents/voltage spikes coming from the grid.
