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 | 12V: >40A (in multi-+12V rail mode) 5V: 33.2A (132.8%) 3.3V: 35.3A (141.2%) 5VSB: 6.5A (216.7%), 63mV ripple |
| OPP | 1028.35W (120.98%) |
| 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 |
The minor rails' OCP triggering points are set high, as they are in most PSUs. Similarly, we find a sky-high triggering point on the 5VSB rail, allowing increased ripple. Corsair should really bring this down a bit.
Finally, OPP is set properly at around 121%. OTP is at the correct level as well, given that this is a semi-passive PSU.
