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

4 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.

ProtectionsiProtections the maker lists, or a retailer spec table copies from the maker, plus protections the Cybenetics protection tests show working (UVP, NLO, SIP). The Cybenetics manufacturer list has no OVP or UVP row, so do not build the list from it alone. A protection that is not listed may still exist. 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.

Over-current (OCP), Under-voltage (UVP), Over-power (OPP), Over-temperature (OTP), Short-circuit (SCP), No-load (NLO), Surge and inrush (SIP)2Measurementcybenetics.com/evaluations/psus/2951Read 15 October 2026Protection Features (Manufacturer) block: OPP, OCP (+12V), OTP, SCP, surge and inrush protection checked, fan failure protection not checked. The Protection Features tests show OCP on 12V, 5V, 3.3V and 5VSB, OPP, OTP, SCP, UVP (full load at 90V and no damage at 80V), NLO and SIP (surge MOV, inrush NTC and bypass relay) all working. The report has no OVP row, so OVP is not stored.

All-Japanese capacitorsiThe maker states that every electrolytic capacitor is from a Japanese maker. A Japanese bulk capacitor alone is not enough. A spec row such as "Japanese capacitors" that names no exception counts.

Yes3Retailer pageamazon.com/dp/B0FXNSVSLDRead 14 October 2026From the manufacturer: This power supply uses 100% Japanese 105 C capacitors. The MSI datasheet says 100% all Server-grade 105 C capacitor and names no origin.

MTBF (claimed)iThe maker's mean time between failures, such as 100000. An MTTF figure for the whole unit counts too. An MTTF for the fan alone does not. The test temperature goes in the source note.

Dimensions and weight

DimensionsiBody without cables. Width and height are the back face with the AC inlet. Depth is the length into the case, which decides case fit.

WeightiWeight of the unit alone. Use the Hardware Busters figure on hwbusters.com when the maker states none, not a copy on another site. Maker weights that include cables or the box, such as Corsair's, and retailer packed weights are not stored. A net weight counts unless the maker says it includes the cables.
