I followed the link from your website to this review, I am gobsmacked that manufacturers send things there to be reviewed, look at it here;
http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=2035

Have a look at the voltages he found with his multimeter, then how about this;

"With a 120W dummy load the Corsair HX620W power supply uses up 171W of power, that's an efficiency of just over 70%. Compared to the other power supplies tested, that's very good and it's nice to see Corsair's power supply so efficient."

I wonder how many people have bought another make because the Corsair is around 70% efficient?

It's a good job that I know to come here for reviews, if that was the first review you had ever read then come over here to see that the voltages actually vary it would create confusion, I'm in no position to say anything to the reviewer but maybe someone with experience should.

I think this has been discussed before. Most of us agreed that the "jitter observations" they make are useless, as a DMM cannot be used for this purpose.

I missed it, didn't realise it had been discussed already although it doesn't surprise me people here are very with the times.

Well, I didn't intend to dissuade you from posting, I was just making an observation. ;)
