Although strictly rated to systems requiring up to 850 watts of power, it’s never usual for a power supply to offer a little headroom above that value. When you do push things too far, however, it’s important to know that the protections are in place to turn your system off before something goes bang!
So, what happened in our test? – Well, it’s good news all around really. Not only did the OPP work perfectly, but the Dark Power 12 managed to achieve 244 watts over its rated level before it did kick in. Given that this is around 23% higher than the official wattage level, while we never recommend dipping into that, it’s nice to know that not only is it there, but it’s also standing by to reign your irresponsible usage in!
