Evaluation & Performance
Continued...
The next step is to have a look at the performance analysis of the
RockeTeer 600W and to make some sort of comparison I have taken the Hiper Type-R
580W power supply to be put next to it. Both PSU's ran during 2 hour in idle
configuration, meaning just power up and doing nothing and in full load
operation. During full load we used several applications to get the CPU, GPU and
hard drivers running at full speed.
So how was this accomplished? Well we used a program that would
stress the CPU, namely RC5-72/OGRp2 Distributed Client. This program will use
all available CPU processing time to crack a 72-bit secret encryption key.
Furthermore we ran Futuremark 3DMark06 in loop mode to let our EVGA e-GeForce
7800 GS run at full occupation to make sure also the GPU is balancing out the
power usage drawn from the PSU.

The Type-R 580W from Hiper puts down some excellent results. By
just checking over the summary table we can't spot any dip on the voltages. That
alone says already enough, the voltage levels are kept and remain above there
nominal values. When looking at the average results we are quite impressed.
Almost all voltage levels remain quite stable between idle and full load
state.

After having put the Speeze RockeTeer 600W power supply to the same extensive
benchmarks, I have to remark that the results are less stable then with the
Hiper Type-R 580W PSU. Although that doesn't mean that this PSU doesn't deliver
what is specified for. The Speeze delivers very decent results and does that in a silent
manner. And also at full load the noiseless levels are remaining almost
silent
What also is remarkable for the Speeze PSU, is that at 600W it delivers a stable operation
wattage at idle or at full load. The EVGA e-GeForce 7800 GS AGP graphics card
draws a lot of amps, but that doesn't cause any problems whatsoever. The Speeze PSU does what it is made
for, delivering stable current on the different power rails and that at almost
silent operation.
