Shouldn't it be High Current Pro as that title. Not High Current power?

Either way; good work Jonny

But why did you say voltage regulation was "decent" going off the info in your hot-box tests. It was ~1% on 3.3, 5, & 12 volt rails.

EDIT: Forgot to say, but glad someone agree's with me on the High Current name

Is that a 0.01V drop on the +12V over 1200W? Can it be so? I think this thing just set a record for voltage regulation.

Efficiency is rather lower than the "92% up to 800W" that Nick told me, though... Still not bad. Not bad at all.

Doh! I wonder how many times I did that. I've been calling it High Current Power since the beginning. Not sure why I can't get myself to use the word "Pro" with it.

+3.3V dropped .12V. +5V dropped .11V. That's not 1%. .12/3.3=3.636363%. .11/5=2.2%.

The +12V regulation is still awesome, I've never seen a rail move so little over such a huge load.

I know the name of the image is "test10...", but it is in fact test 8.
