The tolerences of the Tuniq were very close and didn't flux when voltage draw was changed from idle to load, which was pretty impressive as other PSU's we have reviewed did. Though for the cost of the Tuniq 1200W, and the extra wattage that wasn't being used, the meter shouldn't jump at all.

Conclusion

The Tuniq Ensemble is the largest power supply this reviewer has reviewed to date, and by far the most impressive. The Ensemble is not short on power, supplied cables connections, quite during heavy loads and is a super high on efficiency at 87%. With all the connections and Wattage, anyone could hook up every peripheral they own to this PSU and not only will the Ensemble be able to power it all, it will do it quietly, efficiently and not turn into a space heater while do so. This may not be the power supply for the masses due to its weight, cost, and physical size which limits the Ensemble to full size cases, but it is a PSU which if none of those items listed don't stop you, then you won't be let down by this PSU performance. This is one AWESOME piece of hardware!

awesome hardware
