Testing:
Temperature, Noise Levels and Fan Speeds:
I am not going to give a pass or fail in this section, as the ATX12V V2.2 does not really have any references on which to base a decision.
Temperatures are purely for information only, as there are too many variables involved when installed in a case, which, by the way, it wasn't. Ambient temperature, processor cooling efficiency, and case cooling fans all play their part on the temperature of the air entering the power supply, and, consequently, the temperature of the air leaving it. No valid conclusions can be made from this test.

The Memonex MOD EX 600W power supply performance in this section was certainly on par with some high end power supplies. Temperatures at all times remained low and fan noise only became a problem when the power supply was fully loaded and speeds hit 1700RPM. The noise certainly wasn't irritating, but it could be to some users. The cooling fan on Memonex MOD EX 600W power supply is lit using four bright blue LEDs that can't be switched off, which may be a problem for some users, but it does look quite effective.
