Antec 3-in-1 review!

[elpres05]

Many of you asked for it, so here it is...

Main Page or to quickly rap things up,

12V Line Efficiency Test
5V Line Efficiency Test
Ripple Testing and Stability
Thermal and Acoustics

Conclusive

That should be enough I suppose, and for God sake, don't scam the thread

:beer:

Nicely done. I dont read many PSU reviews, but that seemed pretty indepth. how about a review of Modstream vs Neo HE vs Silverstone Strider (and any other modular PSUs you can get yoru hands on)?

Nice site...

Don`t have a whole lot to say about anything Antec though....

The things you say about Antec in your reviews I find just the opposite being said on other forums and by people who use to use Antec PSU`s...
Nice site!!

Sorry i was busy, the stupid server was down.

btw, i only spent like 2 weeks with these units, users who complain about antec's probably have run them for a very long time, but what sorts of problems?

The graphics on your graphs are overdone, too much background noise makes it hard to read them. A little info on how you test the PSUs might be nice (maybe a link to a page that covers testing procedures).

Not a bad review.

Not overdone, originals would cost me 150+ KB, i can't afford to have a single graph over 50 KB. Not just that, all images have been reduced in quality and then compressed further to be able to get to this size.

Its a PNG to JPG conversion, worked on Excel, Photoshop(top part) and XAT image optimizer.

If you think people would like 300+KB of graphs on a single page, i wouldn't mind uploading the best shots.

As far as the testing procedures, I do cover that under "Testing methodology", not in detail because there is no need to , the posted links don't complete the review, its a full 9-paged article.

Check this out btw, Testing Methodology

See the little image i've posted there, that's how i get to stress test PSU's of any rating. Once i earn enough money, i'll be making my own proper PSU power drainer.

Sorry, i'll restate the issue i have with the graphs, they look shite . You've got a rather random background picture that makes the important information difficult to read. Compress them all you like, but the background picture is a waste of time and makes the entire thing look a lot more amateur imo.

Guess i should read the site more carefully before i complain about it lacking a feature that's really there

ehhh..okay site....

But we should diffeentiate between the words bult by and OCZ brand....

Should you buy a power supply built by a memory maker? To find out, I?m talking the OCZ?s first big thing on the power market, torture it on my custom load tester and see if this 520-watts monster can keep the dirty electrons out of the equation.

OCZ doesn`t build there own PSU`s.....

Anyways maybe I am just being picky..lol

How sad, I almost laughed there but really, its still OCZ, no matter who makes their PSU's.
