The electrical performance of the CS450M is very good, especially considering that this is a power supply designed for system builders and mainstream users. Voltage regulation is at about 2% for all of the voltage lines between 20% and 100% load. Ripple suppression is very good, with the maximum ripple being 46 mV on the 12 V line while the power supply was operating at maximum capacity, which is a figure that even top-performance designs sometimes fail to achieve.
