5Vsb and Standby Efficiency
The standby efficiency of the Odin GT is okay. With lower loads in standby mode we could wish for a better result but it is still acceptable. With no load applied we measured a usage of 0.91W - 1.88W. That's a large amount for doing virtually nothing and GB/CWT should work on improving this.
The voltage of the 5Vsb rail decreases with increasing loads like the other rails, but it still stays within an acceptable range.

Read the test methodology article.neogodless - Tuesday, July 24, 2007 - link
Did you find any issues with the modular design? Obviously the efficiency was good. Could anything else have been affected by the additional connection point?Christoph Katzer - Tuesday, July 24, 2007 - link
I am in the midle of testing that with other models. I will write something which will bring light in this in matter...
