| Written by Maxit | |||||
Page 3 of 3 In The LabsOnce installed in our 3.8Ghz watercooled test bed machine, the 700w Straightpower psu settled down to business and powered through our 8 hour Prime95 torture test. During this time we went about our usual business of photoshop, mp3's and Playboy.com browsing and noted down the power rails under idle and full load settings using our trusty Multimeter. The cpu vcore was set at 1.6volts to achieve an overclock on our Core 2 Duo from 2.4GHz to 3.8GHz and the rest of the Asus P5B delux motherboard voltages were pumped up to their max to achieve stability.
The Straightpower 700w power supply maintained near identical readings under load as it did while
idling. A fine demonstration of the quality and reliability of this unit,
producing clean crisp power with seemingly little to no ripple! The 12v rail was particularly generous and should appeal to overclockers who demand rock solid stability when pushing a system to the max. The Bottom Linebe quiet! have produced another fine addition to their excellent stable of power supplies. If you want a top of the line power supply you'd be bonkas not to check out the Straightpower 700w unit. Good looks, low noise and rock solid rails under extreme conditions. What more could any PC enthusiast ask for. Decent packaging and excellent customer support and aftersales service make this a real winner. In fact we liked this psu so much we chucked out our noisy PC Power and Cooling Turbo SLI unit and replaced it with this. This power supply is just about as perfect as you can get and a worthy winner of our coveted editors choice award.Pros
