In Operation:

To test the 2-Force II in operation, we are going to test its stability by comparing its voltages under load and at idle. A highly capable and stable power supply should have a minimum of difference between the two values. Most motherboards allow around 5%+/- variation in the voltages away from their intended values, we’ll see how the 2-Force II performs.

The Test Setup:

ASUS P5N32-E SLI, nForce680i Motherboard

Windows XP Pro SP2

The load test will be conducted while the system is running 3DMark06 and Quake 4 demos to stress the system as much as possible. Results were recorded by a digital multimeter, not by the motherboard’s on-board sensors, which would not be accurate enough to give proper results.

The Results:

Voltage Results

As you can see there is an almost insignificant difference between idle and on load, certainly less than the accepted tolerance amount by both the motherboard manufacturer and by Tagan. This means the 2-Force II should be a great power supply when you really start needing to push the boundaries in regards to overclocking.
