Power Analysis

On Figure 14 you can see Huntkey Green Star 450 W label stating its power specs. The information present on the box is more complete than the one present on the label, so we included a picture of the specs present on the box as well. Comparing the two pictures you can see the difference on the UL registration number we mentioned on the first page.

As you can see this power supply has two virtual rails, the first one rated at 15 A and the second one rated at 17 A. The only thing connected to the second rail is the EPS12V/ATX12V connector, which is fine for a power supply from this power range. Inside the power supply we could see a separated filtering circuit for each rail (a coil and a capacitor), which was really interesting to see.

Let’s now see if this power supply can really deliver 450 W of power.
