Only in one review: Current 5 A (5 V 25 W power supply); Temperature rise 130 °C (5 V 25 W power supply).

5 V 25 W power supply: Decent overall, but diode overheating limits it to 4 A for continuous use.

12 V 24 W power supply: The author liked it best for its low ripple, power headroom, and stable operation under sustained load.
