The updated results did not affect our conclusions or recommendation about this power supply. Last edited by Gabriel Torres; 06-24-2009 at 10:35 AM. |

| Administrator Join Date: Oct 2004 USA Posts: 2,553 | Updated 08/07/09: After this review was posted, Corsair tested this power supply using the same load patterns presented on the table below and, with a different equipment, the noise levels for +5VSB were completely different (very low). Please click here to see the results. The only explanation we have is that our equipment was somehow interfering with the results. This way the comments we've done before about the +5VSB output should be disregarded. |
