The average noise output is high. The fan speed profile should be more relaxed.
Efficiency Rating
The following graph shows the PSU's average efficiency throughout its operating range with an ambient temperature close to 30 degrees Celsius.
Satisfactory average efficiency, but the GF1 850W performs even better here.
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 APFC converter is highly effective, delivering high PF readings at all load ranges.
