Why you can trust Tom's Hardware
Performance Rating
The overall performance is quite high, reaching close to the XPG Pylon, which leads the category.
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).
With a less restrictive fan grille the average noise output could be lower.
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 satisfactory, given that this is a Bronze unit (Silver in the Cybenetics scale).
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 power factor is high enough with 115V input.
