Performance, Noise and Efficiency
Performance Rating
The performance levels aren't up to the Seasonic Focus Plus Platinum unit's levels, which is the main competitor of the Ion+ model.
Noise Rating
The graph below depicts the cooling fan's average noise over the PSU's operating range, with an ambient temperature between 30 to 32 degrees Celsius (86 to 89.6 degrees Fahrenheit).
This is a dead silent PSU. In this section, it clearly has an edge over the Platinum Seasonic Focus Plus model.
Efficiency Rating
The following graph shows the PSU's average efficiency throughout its operating range with an ambient temperature close to 30 degrees Celsius.
The overall efficiency is a little lower than the competing offerings.
