Hi @Adrian B Thank you for your interest and feedback, which I highly appreciate and value.
Personally I do not believe that thoroughly lab testing the phased out 730 watt Raidmax Hybrid PSU will reveal any issues whatsoever, but it needs to be done before finally discarding that particular PSU altogether, considering that I am not as yet a member of the present "throwaway generation". I am living in a highly corrosive area on this planet, and believe that contact corrosion, within one or more of the connector plugs, may have been the culprit. My tests will concentrate particularly on transient response times as well as voltage stability, "ringing", when the PSU is transitioning from idle to the normal operating current delivery state. In the end the instability could theoretically also be linked to the bios ErP setting, which incidentally is disabled on all my machines, however presently I am only interested in transient voltage/current response times, conducted with resistive dummy loads as well as a multi channel digital oscilloscope. Will provide feedback when anything conclusive is revealed during my continued investigation, whenever that take place
Greetings
