In terms of efficiency, being a platinum-rated power supply the Fractal Design Ion+ has some very high-levels of performance to achieve. As a testament to the excellent quality in design, the efficiency ratings are exceptionally good.
Achieving well over what’s necessary for the platinum rating, the Ion+ 560 does much better than it’s (already high) rating would suggest.
Looking at the PFC ratings, what’s clear is that the Ion+ is happiest when working harder. Initially, at 20% the scoring is relatively low. As soon as you start asking this power supply to perform, however, it improves dramatically to well-above-average levels.
The voltage regulation test provided some nice and consistent results across the range of load requirements. Admittedly, the -12v rail did under-voltage by a notable (but hardly worrying) margin. Considering that this rail is not particularly important in modern PC designs, the other (excellent) results easily gloss over this.
