Only in one review: Test current 43.5 A (5 V 40 A power supply (200 W), passive cooling); Under load 4.99 V (5 V 40 A power supply (200 W), passive cooling); Ripple 170 mV (5 V 40 A power supply (200 W), passive cooling); Efficiency 80 % (5 V 40 A power supply (200 W), passive cooling); Protection 43.5 A (5 V 40 A power supply (200 W), passive cooling).

5 V 40 A power supply (200 W), passive cooling: Cannot sustain its rated 200 W: major components overheat at full load, and ripple is high.

S-200-5: The power supply has serious assembly defects and low-quality components; the author considers it unreliable.
