That would be because you don't do this work. When I set the test here: The SCP test drops the resistance at a set rate until it meets the spec limit of 0.1 Ohm. It is not "instant", it is a measurable time that you can see in your waveform output and in the programming file. Literal...

That is standard advertising copy for almost every power supply made. However, I can guarantee you that the OCP part is not in specification on the majority of power supplies. They may have it and set it higher than allowed or they may omit it and rely on OPP. No one seems to mind that though.......

No, you can't say they did not do it right. Since there is not set specificaiton for it there is no way to test it appropriately. You are hilarious. I mean this is comical. We have gone from they "didn't do something that they should have" to now "they did something they felt they needed to by...

And the one thing that negates your entire argument is this......if they took the established standards as a bare minimum and did just that then they would not have even implemented any form of OPP. Which is not required. So, that kind of sinks your argument in port.

Except, there are not other specifications that are required to apply. So being "out of" a non-existent specification is worse than being out of an actual specification. Uh.......the logic ball there is mindbogglingly dense. Neither of which are relevant. I am not. I already reviewed one...

UL certification has nothing to do with OPP.

Now, isn't that the crux of the problem. Lots of folks like you Brian, Gamer Nexus, etc. commenting on what should happen, how things are supposed to work, and what appropriate behavior is yet do not know anything about what the design requirements are. For instance Brian_B is going on about...

Not for ATX12v/EPS.

Ok, show me the approved specification parameters and test conditions for that feature.

Didn't we do both a good HBO series and a bad Movie of this already?

I mean....it doesn't. We can measure how long the spike in draw takes and it is in the 100's of milliseconds or more or less depending on the mode but it is not "instant". A theoretical versus real world short are very different because of Ohm's law.

Not exactly. A short won't cause an instant spike in draw so they aren't configured that way. In fact, the design guide does not actually define a required OCP level or a response time.

Yes and no. They will do so if the slew rate is within a certain set of parameters per the ATX12v/EPS design guide paramters. Going from zero to the OPP in an "instant" by switching on a load is not within those parameters so you may get unexpected results like this.

I mean they are right. Intentionally trying to blow up the power supply by running it out of spec and then making the surprised Pikachu face when it does blow up is disingenuous. That said, inside of spec they still aren't great units...

That unit has a lot of wet electrolytics. They degrade whether stored or used.

AMD be like........"f me. Hey GloFo....you want to get back in the game? Samsung? Someone?"

Depends on how and why they are run out of spec. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. There is a reason the spec have approved load change rates.

Bad week for Gigabyte and it is only Tuesday.
