The 80Plus Bronze certification requirements (82% - 85% - 82%)
are surpassed especially at 20% load. This is the case with most of PSU's that
you can buy today and it mainly originates from the reason of lower losses in
the AC filtering stage and the PFC at 230V AC.

The stability of the output voltages and the outcome
of the crossload tests (results not shown here) are not perfect but still within
the margin and the norms, so they are absolutely satisfactory.

Overall noise level results are decent and mostly attributed to be
PC Power and Cooling's / OCZ's
choice to use its own high-quality thermally controlled 135mm fan with rifle
bearing.
