We see minor flaws in the 5V standby rail, with the 500W version and even going out of spec at maximum load. However, this is not a major problem considering the remaining rails perform very well.

The 12V rails show a very nice regulation as well and only the 500W version shows any sort of flaw; at higher loads with high temperatures the second 12V rail drops a bit further. In all of the remaining 12V testing, we didn't see the voltage of either power supply dropped below 11.90V at lowest. Seasonic has especially worked hard on voltage regulation and did a great job in stabilizing the rails.

Doesnt mean they are bad. I know only from one manufacturer who is producing the exact same stuff for brands and that is FSP -> OCZ GameXstream.Seasonic put higher quality into their own units. The higher price is not just for the name only ;)
