Noise and Ripple can easily be measured by an oscilloscope. These show how much voltage fluctuation there is on a particular rail. We tested the rail stability of the 3.3 volt, 5 volt and 12 volt rails using an identical time and millivolt scale for all graphs.
The latest ATX 12 volt version 2.3 specifications state that ripple from peak to peak must be no higher than 50 millivolts for the 3.3 volt and 5 volt rails, while the 12 volt rail is allowed up to 120 millivolts peak to peak to stay within specifications.

The Antec HCG 850W, like most Seasonic OEM units, has incredibly strong noise and ripple suppression. Across all rails it delivered a high level of performance and because all minor rails are provided by the 12 volt rail it is logical that the noise and ripple is similar across the 3.3, 5 and 12 volt rails.
