    I tried this for a month or two. Whilst, IMO, it lives up to what it says it does, it's just a bit too much in depth for me and my level of knowledge to all things tech related. Sure, I'd love to further my knowledge in this case, but my brain doesn't allow for remembering such detailed content. I'm in my 50's and it seems when I learn something new, something old gets pushed out. Who'd have thought!

    Anywho, its is what it says on the tin. This would make good reading for those really interested in the finer details.

    Bench tool is quite good, but for me, that plus is not enough to warrant a monthly or annual fee.

    I'm just wondering how much is it normally per year per month

    Too bad, I am considering a "TotalFARK!" account upgrade...sometime.

    I think it's worth it, but I already subscribed at the previous rate. Not just for the premium content, but also to help subsidize the non-premium stuff.

    Most 'Premium' tier content is available elsewhere for free and this Premium tier will see readers consuming more content elsewhere. There are better ways to earn money than slap a fee to readers.

    If you just look at the front page, the top portion has "deals" mixed in with news, featured reviews, and some premium articles.

    If you want to see only news or reviews and skip all the "deals", then you probably want to visit these pages, instead:

    29 USD for a year is affordable and I’m tempted to subscribe, but does it then renew at the normal, non-discounted price ? And can I cancel at any time while still benefitting from the subscription until the date I would have had to renew ? Thanks

    From the article:
    While our reviews offer truncated data, Bench is where you can split it all out on a granular level and compare products.
    Is this the sole reason why PSU reviews have a lot of missing info? :??:

    Like;
    * no hold-up testing
    * no inrush current testing
    * no DC power sequencing testing
    * no infrared images
    * no transient response testing
    * no turn-on transient testing
    * no ripple comparison against other similar PSUs
    * no EMC pre-compliance (EMI) testing
    * no overall comparison with similar PSUs

    And why the PSU reviews also have a lot of slimmed down info?
    Like;
    * specs
    * cable info
    * component analysis is buried in the text
    * protection testing is buried in the text
    * little info about noise

    :rolleyes:

    Critical information about PSUs must not be put behind paywall. If it is, then i'll look elsewhere, like HardwareBusters or TechPowerUP. Since people there understand that the critical information must be readily available (often in a highlighted format, for not to miss the critical information).

    And as i understood, that Premium does 0 in terms of TH forums and experience in forums, right?
