Antec High Current Gamer Extreme X850 Power Supply Review

Ripple


Throughout all of our ripple testing, the Antex HCG Extreme X850 gave us no cause for concern. In fact, the results as a whole were remarkably low. To put these into context, under EU standards, results can be anything up to 50 before a ‘fail’ status is achieved. As you can see from our results, the 3.3v and 5v scorings constantly remained under 5. Additionally, the 12v rail (which can sometimes be a little excitable) was more than consistent.

What we can say is that the power is being delivered cleanly, and that is important for long-term durability.

 Load (%)   3.3V  Ripple   5V Ripple   12V Ripple 
 20 3.2 2.8 10.2
 40 3.2 3.2 9.2
 60 4.2 3.2 12
 80 3.8 3 13
 100 4.4 3.4 14.6
