I guess this is what QC is for: the ODM sends the OEM something they say represents the product they are shipping that bears the OEM's name. But in fact, the ODM is shipping an inferior product. Only going to a retailer to buy a for-sale unit will tell the OEM what the customers are getting. Hence the need for QC: someone who gets on-the-shelf products from the retailer.

Ugh, I can't believe I dodged a bullet, even if I have the US, Full Range, Version of that PSU (MPX-6001-ACAAW). =_=
This PSU reminds me of why I'm glad that it isn't 15 years ago any more. Also why I have never bought a CM PSU or recommended one to people.
Does limiting the input to 230VAC really save that much in terms of cost compared to full-range when one already has APFC? Looking at the guts of this PSU I cannot really see any obvious savings.

A lot of you guys seem to forget that at such high output power, the fan will also blow a lot of air down onto the pcb and bridge rectifier.
I assume the measurements in datasheets are done assuming natural convection, but don't include a bunch of CFM (or whatever unit) of air moving around the rectifier helping a bit with the cooling.
Anyway, still they cheaped out on a few cents, could have used a 8A or 10A part.
Yeah, and I feel guilty about almost recommending this unit to Joel.![]()
That is some POOR performance. Even full range, modularity, sleeving and detachable/no Berg wouldn't help raise the score much.
