Only in one review: Power 100 W (XL4016E1 buck converter, up to 12 A); Under load 12 V (Gandf 50 V 10 A digital linear PSU board); Ripple 30 mV (XL4016E1 buck converter, up to 12 A); Temperature rise 110 °C (XL4016E1 buck converter, up to 12 A).
XL4016E1 buck converter, up to 12 A: Delivers up to 10 A with low ripple, but gets quite hot and has poor build quality; the 20 A version is a better buy.
Gandf 50 V 10 A digital linear PSU board: The board works and is fairly easy to reproduce, but has layout flaws and inaccurate current readings.
