Only in one review: In test 320 W (AC-DC2416); Under load 4.98 V (5 V 40 A power supply (200 W), active cooling); Ripple 70 mV (5 V 40 A power supply (200 W), active cooling); Efficiency 77.5 % (5 V 40 A power supply (200 W), active cooling); Protection 50 A (5 V 40 A power supply (200 W), active cooling); Temperature rise 110 °C (AC-DC2416); Price 9 $ (AC-DC2416).

5 V 40 A power supply (200 W), active cooling: Handles 200 W with low ripple and reasonable temperatures, but comes with a cheap fan.

AC-DC2416: This sample had severe ripple, unstable output voltage and excess heat; it also readily reached about 320 W.
