12V DC Output
With standard settings we were quite worried about the 12V rail since it was already generating lower than expected results even at lower loads. A few of the rails even came close to dropping out of spec. Again, we were able to regulate these rails quite successfully using the P-Tuner software to generate a better result under lower loads. At higher loads the software was less successful at regulating voltages, since we were already using pretty much everything the PSU could put out.

Read the test methodology article.neogodless - Tuesday, July 24, 2007 - link
Did you find any issues with the modular design? Obviously the efficiency was good. Could anything else have been affected by the additional connection point?Christoph Katzer - Tuesday, July 24, 2007 - link
I am in the midle of testing that with other models. I will write something which will bring light in this in matter...
