Power Supply teardown - Be Quiet E6-500w - youtube vid

[Torn Mind]

So, while I was googling for PSU teardowns, I came across the Donkey IT Learning channel on Youtube, and he tore down a Be Quiet E6-500W unit.

Some things he talks about goes beyond the usual "load test, check ripple, check for missing components in primary" that is seen on review sites.

For a review of a unit on the same platform, this was the best I could find: https://translate.google.com/transl...-straight-power-bqt-e6-450w/1.htm&prev=search

That was interesting. Seems there is so much of this kind of stuff now days where companies skimp on components. It's not quite bigclive material, but close lol.

Johnnyguru.com does extremely in-depth PSU reviews, teardowns included. Their "Death of a Gutless Wonder" series is particular entertaining.

It's been a while since they've done a gutless wonder review. They need to do a sixth one soon.

Out of active sites, yes. Shame that Hardware Secrets is no longer doing PSU reviews, but I'm glad the content is still alive for now.
