Only in one review: Voltage 12 V (1208); Under load 12.06 V (1208); Efficiency 86 % (1208); No load 1.7 W (1208).

12 V 10 A power supply: Ripple is very low, but components overheat during sustained 10 A operation; the author advises limiting it to 8–9 A.

1208: Ripple is low, but it overheats above 6 A; the author considers it effectively a roughly 6 A supply.
