X-Clio 550 vs Fortron BS 500

Fortron BS +12V at idle: 11.9V software monitor, 12.07 measured w/ VOM
Fortron BS +12V load : 11.8V software monitor, 11.93 measured w/ VOM

X-Clio 550 +12V at idle: 12.0V software monitor, 12.11 measured w/ VOM
X-Clio 550 +12V load : 12.0V software monitor, 12.10 measured w/ VOM

Needless to say, I'm an extremely happy camper. Time to see if it I can overclock any higher.

These results aren't too surprising for a high power CWT design with independant voltage regulation... glad you're enjoying it

This unit is most likely in the same family of CWT units that makes up Antec's Truepower II units. As such, it probably has the same type of low pressure fan - I'd check to be sure it's cooling properly before running it long term.

I noticed the TP comes in two flavors, the dual fan design, and the 120mm fan.....which I've got (well X-Clio's version)........is it the 120mm version that doesn't cool sufficiently?

yes. the original TruePower had dual fans and not an issue.

The newer Truepower II has a single 120mm fan and it can have heat problems when loaded sufficiently.
