Review conclusionWith reservationsWith reservations

Only in one review: Voltage 12 V (12 V 250 W power supply); Power 250 W (12 V 250 W power supply); Ripple 120 mV (12 V 250 W power supply).

12 V 250 W power supply: Reliable at roughly 200–250 W; the protection threshold is high, but ripple is low.

60 V 5 A power supply: After modification, the PSU is stable, but sustains full power only with forced cooling.
