Our cross-load tests are described in detail here.
To generate the following charts, we set our loaders to auto mode through our custom-made software before trying more than 1500 possible load combinations with the +12V, 5V, and 3.3V rails. The load regulation deviations in each of the charts below are calculated by taking the nominal values of the rails (12V, 5V, and 3.3V) as point zero. The ambient temperature is between at 30°C (86°F) to 32°C (89.6°F).

Efficiency Chart
The region where the unit delivers between 92-94% efficiency is very large, however since this is a Titanium and ETA-A platform, we would like to see an even larger region with over 94% efficiency. We are perhaps getting too picky, but this model belongs to SilverStone's flagship line so we expect a lot.

Infrared Images
We apply half-load for 10 minutes with the PSU’s top cover and cooling fan removed before taking photos with our modified FLIR E4 camera that delivers 320×240 IR resolution (76,800 pixels).
The temperatures in the internals stay low, so the fan speed profile could certainly be more relaxed. This is a highly efficient platform with highly restricted energy losses which don't require high airflow even under heavy loads, but apparently Enhance wanted to be extra sure about this product's reliability so it tuned the fan profile accordingly.
