Review conclusionNot recommendedRecommended

Only in one review: Voltage 12 V (12 V 200 W, 16.7 A); In test 265 W (12 V 200 W, 16.7 A); Efficiency 80 % (5 V 200 W passive power supply).

5 V 200 W passive power supply: It overheats at full power; upgrading is uneconomical, and ripple is substantial.

12 V 200 W, 16.7 A: It unexpectedly endured testing up to 265 W; the author expects it to work well at its rated 200 W.
