I was keeping an eye out for this but missed it somehow:

http://www.tomshardware.de/Netzteile-Coolermaster-Enermax-FSP-Everest-Silverstone,testberichte-240537.html

btw...I found babelfish English translation a little better to understand than google but those are the only two I tried...sometimes the less popular sites do a better job.

PSU performance aside I have to say I'm rather disappointed in the tests overall...the methodology that is and the presentation in particular...considering the top-notch testing equipment. Seems to be primarily focused on efficiency.

Where the hell are the voltage regulation tests?

I think "Pass or Fail" at 110% with an unknown load distribution (but probably 80+ style) is it...pretty sad IMO.

EDIT: oops no wait, it says at maximum combined 12V rating so I guess one could extrapolate the rest of the load from that but still the individual amounts on the 5V, 3.3V and 5Vsb unknown.

Despite how much love everyone gives Google, Babelfish does a better job of translating.

yeah that's my experience too...worked fine most of the time for me for many years before google even existed

If you have questions, just feel free to ask, I'd translate it for you.

BTW: that review isn't that good, 'cause they missed ripple and/or noise...

But: I like those low power efficiency tests as inrush current and Hold-Up Time!
