Testing:
To properly test the Tuniq Miniplant 950 Watt power supply, I will be using a digital multimeter to gather readings of the different rails of the power supply. I will be doing this under two conditions. The first will be idle testing, measured after the computer has been started up and sitting for about a half an hour. The second condition will be measured while the computer is performing different tasks back-to-back, such as an OCCT 30 minute stress test, as well as 3DMark06. Our current testing methodology revolves around testing each independent rail with a multimeter to verify the lack of droop, and to ensure that the voltage is maintained within specifications. In the near future OverclockersClub will follow a more formal load testing methodology to provide a more in-depth analysis of the power supply. Keep checking back for that change.
Testing Setup:
- Processor: Intel E6600 @ 3400MHz
- Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P35-DQ6
- Memory: Mushkin PC2-6400 (4GB)
- Video Card: Sapphire HD3850
- Hard Drive: Western Digital 320GB 16MB cache SATA
- Optical Drive(s): Lite-on DVD-RW
- Case: Cooler Master Cosmos 1000
- Heatsink: Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme
- O/S: Windows Vista Ultimate
Comparison Power Supplies:
The Tuniq Miniplant 950W power supply did exactly what I needed it to do: power the system that I had put it in. Not only did it power the system that I put it in, it also was able to deliver the power over the rails in a very effective and efficient way; they did not fluctuate very much at all.
