Cross-Load Tests And Infrared Images
Our cross-load tests are described in detail here.
To generate the following charts, we set our loaders to auto mode through our custom-made software before trying more than 25,000 possible load combinations with the +12V, 5V and 3.3V rails. The regulation deviations in each of the charts below are calculated by taking the nominal values of the rails (12V, 5V and 3.3V) as point zero.

Efficiency Chart
The ST60F-TI is clearly super efficient. With higher than 55W loads, efficiency is within the 90-95% range.

Infrared Images
Toward the end of the cross-load tests, we took some photos of the PSU with our modified FLIR E4 camera that delivers 320x240 IR resolution (76,800 pixels).
The temperatures inside of SilverStone's ST60F-TI remain low, despite the prolonged full load operation during the last part of our cross-load tests.
