This is technically already in the affiliate reviews column, but I figured it was worth talking about anyways. The article talks about the process for properly testing PSUs, and how most power supply reviews are so meaningless that they can't even be taken at face value.

Linky.

ASELabs (or rather, Hardware Logic) was specifically named as one of the groups that does it right, so no worries there. The article itself was quite interesting, and I know that I'll never look at PSU reviews the same way again.

Michael: Jodie, how's my schedule look for today?
Jodie: You've got a conference and dinner party at the Japanese Embassy regarding wildlife protection.
Michael: Oh, yeah...sorry, but I'll have to cancel that. I'm heading out to save America!

I already emailed the author to tell him to take HL off the list or to amend it.

We don't have the test equipment to do PSU reviews anymore. We won't do them until we have the proper equipment.

The new OS Xtreme theme is out in FORCE. Try it now and be amazed. It is the best style we've got.

Oh. Well, I still thought the article was a good read.

In response to Tornado #118517
It is. It is also true.

Testing a PSU requires a bit more than just putting it into a system and saying it works. It isn't a light or a fan!
