Testing(Continued):
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 Thermaltake Toughpower XT 750W temperatures are a little on the high side when compared against other power supplies in this class but this shouldn't cause any problems especially with good case cooling. Fan noise at low and mid loading was hardly noticeable but it did increase at full load which is to be expected.
