under your (incorrect) definition your seasonic 850w isn't a true 850w
My PSU can provide 99.5% of it's rated power continuously via the 12v rail. His provides 96%. There is a significant difference between his PSU's labeled wattage and the amount provided over the 12V whereas mine is within margin of error of the total wattage. Hence why his is not a true 600W.
actually the final statement of the review you are looking at states the following
"As for the Pure Power 9 as a line-up, it's fine for mainstream and mid-level systems. The competition is tough though, and there are some offerings close to this price range with Gold-rated efficiency."
while you are allowed your opinion, you are certainly not allowed to change the professional reviewers opinion. Certainly not a glowing review but hardly reviewed "poorly" across the board.
"Although be quiet! claims that these units have independent regulation on all rails, our test results prove otherwise. So, if you apply full load at +12V and minimum at 5V, the +12V ripple goes out of spec due to some high spikes. With minimum load at +12V and maximum at 5V, ripple suppression might fall within the limits, but load regulation goes haywire with the voltage at +12V reaches close to 13V! Although be quiet! might claim this unit is Haswell-ready, according to Intel's compatibility guidelines for the C6 and C7 sleep states it's not. Granted, Intel's test methodology for Haswell compatibility takes the most extreme scenarios into account. This PSU probably wouldn't have a problem with newer CPUs, and you can always disable C6 and C7 if you did run into any problems."
"More concerning to us is this PSU's low-quality bulk cap. We can't help but wonder why be quiet! chose to offer extra bells and whistles, like the stealth ribbon cables, instead of investing in a higher quality cap in the APFC converter. Even lower-end PSUs have 105 °C bulk caps nowadays."
You read a single line from the summary, not even the whole summary which you omitted, and then declared me incorrect. I'm not sure what the point of your comment is, other than to create unnecessary drama.
The article aligns perfectly with what I said originally:
It has reviewed poorly as well, particularly for transients and the very low quality 85c bulk cap.
I actually read more than a single line from the review.
