Only in one review: In test 120 W (24 V 100 W power supply); Under load 23.8 V (24 V 100 W power supply); Efficiency 89.5 % (Ultra-compact 100 W, 12 V, 8.3 A power supply); No load 0.05 W (Ultra-compact 100 W, 12 V, 8.3 A power supply); Protection 7.2 A (Ultra-compact 100 W, 12 V, 8.3 A power supply); Weight 94 g (Ultra-compact 100 W, 12 V, 8.3 A power supply).

Ultra-compact 100 W, 12 V, 8.3 A power supply: Very compact and powerful for its size, but it falls short of 100 W and has large spike ripple.

24 V 100 W power supply: It runs reliably at 100 W and handled nearly 120 W, though the author notes safety and component-margin concerns.
