Full power rated up toiThe ambient temperature up to which the maker rates full continuous power, such as 50 °C. A review table that prints 0-50 °C with no maker source is not enough. An operating temperature range that does not say full power is not enough. A maker table with load steps gives the full-load row, such as 40 °C at full load next to 50 °C at 80 percent load. A temperature that a Cybenetics report marks as manufacturer-provided counts as a maker statement.

Cables and connectors

5 of 7 differ

CablesiOne row per kind of cable that runs from the PSU to a device. Connector is the plug at the device end. Count is the number of those plugs over all cables in the row. Length runs from the PSU end to the first plug. Adapters that plug into other cables are left out. Use 16-pin PCIe when the maker names a 16-pin GPU cable without saying 12V-2x6 or 12VHPWR. A cable from a 12V-2x6 socket on the PSU to 8-pin plugs is a cable, not an adapter, and counts as PCIe 8-pin. When the maker's documents name one GPU cable both 12VHPWR and 12V-2x6, use 16-pin PCIe and name both in the source note. Cables of one connector kind with different lengths or wire gauges get one row each.

The box counts cables. The review photo of the cables and the Cybenetics table show that two of the three PCIe 6+2 cables carry two plugs each, so the unit has 5 PCIe 8-pin plugs on 3 cables. ASRock-derived spec lists print 3 for PCIe 6+2 pin connectors, which counts the cables. SATA is 9 plugs on 3 cables and the Molex row is 3 plugs on 1 cable, as in the ASRock spec list. Cybenetics prints 16-24AWG for the 12V-2x6 cable.

Tolerance 10 mm. PCIe 8-pin is 2 single cables plus 1 cable with two 8-pin plugs (the 12V-2x6 to dual 8-pin cable), so 4 plugs on 3 cables. The SATA row covers a 4-plug SATA cable and a 2 SATA and 2 PATA cable. The two 4-pin plugs sit on the SATA and PATA cable, so the molex row takes that cable's 450 mm to its first plug. Hardware Busters and Cybenetics list the same cables. Tom's Hardware lists 3 PCIe 8-pin, 8 SATA and 3 Molex, which does not match Corsair or Cybenetics and is not used.

ProtectionsiProtections the maker lists, or a retailer spec table copies from the maker, plus protections the Cybenetics protection tests show working (UVP, NLO, SIP).

No-load covers no-load operation and no-load protection. Fan failure is a maker's fan failure protection or fan safeguard, also when the Cybenetics manufacturer block lists it.
