No. I do think people need to be aware of the de-rating curves and maximum temp ratings on units though. If you need 750W at 50 degrees, don't get one rated to that power level at 40.

You put it in better words than I could think of.. Of course gamers don't really fuss over the 3.3/5V rails, and the 12V crossload is the critical one that will drive the CPU and GPU requirements.

Interesting. No hotbox required then?
Since you have tons of PSU experience, what are a set of parameters you think should be there as a base set for "true tested"? Or, what are some tests that can be omitted and still prove a PSU to a decent level?
Thanks

A photo of Bobn's test equipment and a short description of how it works would be useful to start. Did we miss that?

CoolerMaster Silent Pro Hybrid 1300w 80+ Gold review.
Not cheap, but quite good.
Thermaltake Toughpower XT 1275w 80+ Platinum review.
Really not cheap, but platinum and 1275w. Hopefully your ATX24P connector's clip won't suffer the fate my unit's did! Not that it matters overly much.

Added a PSU, the OCZ Fatal1ty 750W. Great bang/buck.. Reviewer hotbox tested it at its full rating and it pulled off a 81.6% efficiency @ 48.8C ambient. Ripple was well within spec, and was able to put out well over its rating in power (around 980Watts) before breaking down.
To me, I would call it a trooper at a current street price of around $99..
Also, it is RED LED, and I am partial to nice red LED's.
Added both, thanks Bob:

Just as heads up since I saw this in the first post, the PSU review section on [H] has changed URL to http://www.hardocp.com/reviews/psu_power_supplies/ from http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/reviews.html?cat=NDUsUG93ZXIgU3VwcGxpZXMgLyBQU1UsaGVudGh1c2lhc3QsLCw=
The redirect from the old URL is not consistent so it might be worth updating.

Thank you!
Just curious, why does HOCP change url so often? I link some PSU reviews here and they often become broken over time..

I think I forgot to post this one. PC Power and Cooling Silencer Mark III 600w:
http://www.funkykit.com/component/c...power-a-cooling-silencer-mk-iii-600w-psu.html
It's a solid PSU, a bit expensive and a bit short on PCIe cables, but it's white and may fit in better with builds.
Actual build quality and capacity and such are good.

Well there was one big change over when we changed from the old naming scheme to the new scheme. The, what looked like, random letter string was changed to the date/article name format. Some of the old reviews did not migrate so when you click through you hit the search page and have to click the searched link. There were about two dozen articles that got corrupted when there was a DB replication problem and when they were manually recovered the links to them may have different dates so the link would not work right. So, really we only meant for there to be one big change.
