Seasonic's been building SMPS since 1975

Nicely done, but whats wrong with the 5V and 3.3V ripple there? Thats doesn't seem correct at all, only seen the Enhance ENP-5140GH or the Silverstone Strider ST60F in Jons review to be similar.

Yeah there seems to be something wrong with the 3.3V/5V ripple scopes - they're completely flat! That can't be right, and that ain't the first time I've seen that in a [H] PSU review either.

Yep! When something tests too good...Let us question it.
The 600W Strider is not very efficient, by todays standards, but regulation and ripple/noise is VERY good.
The Enhance ENP-xxxxGH are that good as well as the Element series they provide for Silverstone based on the ENP line.

And to the point. The Corsair 520HX and 620HX really offer very clean current.

Its not about it being good actually, I expected it to be clean, but every screenshot is the EXACT same of the +3.3V and +5V rail ripple. Thats not the same as what Jon found even though it was within spec and good. There was actually something moving there.

Actually they aren't the EXACT same if you look at the screen shots you will see the waveform develop in test 2/3.
