The PG (Power Good) delay seems to be well within its rated range and general power supply standard at 300ms. Voltages with minimal load is generally accurate, which is a basic requirement of power supplies out of the box. Reviewers with professional testing equipment indicated that its efficiency exceeds 80% in most tests. This means that you probably can't use the paperclip trick on it. This looks like the stabilized load before some sort of protection kicks in after a few seconds and shuts down the power supply. The lowest we've seen is the Seasonic M12II 500W at 8W. Using our power supply tester which exerts minimal load on the power supply, the initial consumption was 25W as measured by our wall meter unit - indicating that the basic load-free power consumption of the power supply is pretty much the worst we've seen so far. But what we can do for you is do some minor testing with the results we can present to you with, and let other review sites with professional equipment show you the actual test results. As this is an product report - not a review - what we are doing is a close examination of the power supply, and the internal hardware and build. Because many cannot afford such equipment to obtain results regarding those aspects, articles covering power supplies often come out with less than adequate and acceptable information. Many aspects have to be taken into consideration - of which certain criteria consists of efficiency, noise, power ripples, and of course the ability to pull out the rated specifications. Power supplies are interesting products - because often, reviews of products in this category are conducted and tested in methods that make it difficult to distinguish one power supply from another.
