Efficiency & PFC
Under efficiency, the Antec TruePower New shows quite stable. At 10-percent load, the efficiency was 81%, from low load efficiency of 20 percent was already only one percentage point below the peak efficiency of 89%. Even at high and peak exercise decreased the efficiency of not more than 86%. The power factor, unfortunately, we did not have as much joy: The peak value was 0.948. If you consider that we already had the privilege of power supplies in which the PFC is vorbeigeschliddert almost at the optimal value 1, only a shade, you want something more here.

Temperatures and volume

Overtemperature in power supply even have to talk for long. It lies well below the maximum temperature of 50 degrees Celsius must, in the over-temperature protection circuit access. With a maximum value of 36.4 ° C on the secondary side of power supply you have much free air upwards. So it should come in the midsummer no overheating problems. The fan is built up to about 50 percent of utilization Also one very slightly perceptible. At 80-przentiger load but it shows what is in him, and he and 40 dB (A), even at its maximum level at 47 dB (A) is clearly noticeable.
