PSU Quality Check

This PSU is in my brother's prebuilt from Cyber PowerPC.

Probably not a high-quality unit, and it's not really on any tier lists.

 

Xtreme Gear 800W

XG-H800

 

So where do you think it falls? Tier 6, Tier 7?

Spend As Much Time Writing Your Question As You Want Me To Spend Responding To It.

If I'm wrong, please point it out. I'm always learning & I won't bite.

 

Laptop:

Lenovo Yoga 7 Air: Ryzen 7840S, 32GiB DDR5

 

Desktop (Old but I never replaced it):

Delidded Core i7 4770K - GTX 1070 ROG Strix - 16GB DDR3 @2000Mhz

Tier 6

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol

There is no review of it whatsoever but there is, you guessed it, complaints

At least it has 80+ Bronze sticker on it lol. Well but at the same time a Thermaltake TR2 is also an 80+ Bronze. Efficiency means nothing to quality remeber. 

 

Tier 6 and 7 are both shit already so it doesn't matter if it failed to make the last tier but ends up 1 tier above. Defo not a 4, maybe a 5 but those are all speculations.

I just checked voltages in the BIOS, and while under barely any load (because i was in BIOS, Duh) I was actually both surprised and dissapointed

3.3V Rail = 3.29 - 3.31

- Actually incredible voltage regulation for this rail

5V Rail = 5.16

- Not very incredible voltage regulation for this one. Actually incredibly horrible

12V Rail = 12.08 - 12.1

- 100mv off is pretty bad, but nothing bad enough to cause instant death.

 

obviously, this isn't under any load, and I'm pretty sure that regulation might get worse under more heavy workloads, but AFAIK, it's at least passable.
