Testing

The Everest 80 Plus 700 faired well in it's testing. Tests showed about 1% deviation overall falls well into the specified conditions. ATX standards allow for a -/+5% deviation from specifications, but you want as little deviation as possible. With only a -/+1% deviation, the Everest 80 Plus 700 receives a good rating. The Everest 80 Plus 700 has proven itself to be very stable. While monitoring, we found little swagger from the results shown. A stable power supply will be easier on your components and will probably last longer. For some reason, our BIOS did not show the 5V value.

We used Orthos for stress testing and a digital multi meter for voltage testing.
