Ama...what? @Anandtech (http://www.anandtech.com/casecoolingpsus/showdoc.aspx?i=3277).
A fanless FSP.
The Calmer 560 comes rated at 400W, but it has a peak output of 560W; hence the name. :crazy:
Bottom line
The performance is average at best, with quite a bit of voltage drop at higher loads. Most of the rails - including the important 12V rails - stay within specs even with 10% overload, so it should be adequate. The efficiency is very good and stays above 80% at most loads and input voltages. With a maximum of 86% using 230VAC, the Calmer 560 won't waste a lot of power, but optimal efficiency requires a load of ~100W or more.
