AnandTech Power Supply Test Methodology
@ 2007/07/19For many, power supplies are unfortunately still not considered an important component, but this attitude is definitively a mistake. Power supplies deliver the voltage to each and every single component in the PC and make them work. It is the heart of the system and the provided electricity works like blood in the human body. If the delivered electricity is faulty or unstable it can ruin even the greatest high-end rig instantly. It is important that readers understand the importance of power supplies in today's PCs and we will do our part from now on to deliver the necessary tests. In addition we will explore the manufacturers themselves; good quality starts with a good engineering team that develops upcoming power supplies. We will visit the offices and factories of the manufacturers to show how and where power supplies are made.
