@Fylladitakis Normally AT PSU reviews test with the "Smart Zero Fan/Quiet fan" switch turned on, thus turning the fan off while the load is low. Is there some reason this practice has been changed for the testing of this unit? Why was it left off?
Montech rating this at 1200w is really pushing it. While it can deliver 1200w, the components seem more appropriately designed for a <=1000w unit. I'd guess all they changed between the 1000w and 1200w models are the capacitor sizes. And speaking of, not staggering the capacitance circuit to prevent breaker trips is sloppy.
