Voltages
The biggest differences between the two PSUs were to be found on voltage leves. Voltages are
measured with the test program supplied with the motherboard (Asus PC Probe).
Idle
There weren't really any differences here, Codegen had some slight swaying on +12V line.
Load
Unreal 2 was used to generate some load. As you can clearly see here, voltages on Codegen
really wobbled from side to side while NX-3000 had no problems at all. Neither one of the
PSUs had any problems with both hard drives and DVD-ROM being active at the same time.
Final words
I've had a strange problem with my computer. Every netword adapter I've tried has failed
to work on 100Mbit mode more than two days, sometimes as little as 2 hours. After that packet
loss has jumped to 95-99%. I've tried two different 3Com cards and one National Semiconductor
card, all with the same problem. First I thought it was my motherboard but now it seems that
wasn't the case. It's widely known that this specific motherboard is a bit picky with power
but I had no clue it could appear like this. After installing NX-3000 my network adapter has
functioned perfectly on 100Mbit mode for four days now.
Therefore I can recommend Nexus Technology NX-3000 to anyone who wishes to have a quiet
first-rate power supply in their computer. And if you have doupts that 300W wouldn't be enough,
there is also available a 400W model.

Availability
Here in Finland, at least Only4pro (82,90e) and
Coolputer (83e) sell NX-3000.
