Performance Rating
The following graph shows the ST1100-TI’s total performance rating, comparing it to other units we have tested. To be more specific, this tested unit is shown as 100 percent, and every other unit's performance is shown relative to it.
The overall performance is high enough, but we would like to see more from a Titanium and ETA-A+ certified unit.
Performance Per Dollar
The following chart may be the most interesting to many of you because it depicts the product’s performance-per-dollar score. We look up the current price of each PSU on popular online shops and use those prices and all relative performance numbers to calculate the index. Note that all of the numbers in the following graphs are normalised by the rated power of each unit.
The high price doesn't help the performance per buck score.
Noise Rating
The graph below depicts the cooling fan's average noise over the PSU's operating range, with an ambient temperature between 30°C and 32°C (86°F to 89.6°F).
This is not the ideal power supply for users that need to build a silent gaming system. Under high loads the fan makes a significant amount of noise which won't pass unnoticed by anyone, that's for sure.
Efficiency Rating
The following graph shows the PSU's average efficiency throughout its operating range, with an ambient temperature close to 30°C.
With several thousand different load combinations, the ST1100-TI manages to conquer our efficiency chart. This is a highly efficient platform, but it is safe to say Enhance had to make several major compromises in order to achieve this.
