Why you can trust Tom's Hardware
Performance Rating
The overall performance needs boosting, to meet the competition from Corsair, Asus, Seasonic and Thermaltake.
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).
Although powerful and with compact dimensions, it still manages to keep its average noise output low.
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 average efficiency score is high enough to take the lead from several notable competitors.
Power Factor Rating
The following graph shows the PSU's average power factor reading throughout its operating range with an ambient temperature close to 30 degrees Celsius.
The PFC converter performs quite well, with both 115V and 230V input.

Co BIY I would be interested in the reviewer's opinion of the conformal coating and anything he saw related to humidity-proof claims.Reply
Was it visible in the tear down ? is it actually different than other products ? -

The conformal coating is hardly to find unless you use some devices to scratch the surface of the PCB board. Its overall performance is beyond my expectation.Co BIY said:I would be interested in the reviewer's opinion of the conformal coating and anything he saw related to humidity-proof claims.
