Cybenetics Standards Included in ATX12V v3.0

5

Mar 2022

The ATX12V v3.0 specification was made public in February 2022, including a reference to Cybenetics' Efficiency (ETA) and Noise (LAMBDA) programs.

The ATX12V v3.0 specification was made public in February 2022, including a reference to Cybenetics' Efficiency (ETA) and Noise (LAMBDA) programs. 

The major changes that the ATX12V v3.0 brings are the following:
  • The addition of a new certification standard, Cybenetics, besides 80 Plus, is in the references section.
  • New 12VHPWR connector for Add-In Cards (like GPUs) can deliver up to 600W.
  • The 12VHPWR should be labeled according to the maximum power delivered.
  • All PSUs with more than 450W max power have to have 12VHPWR connectors to meet the newest ATX spec.
  • The PSU reports to the PCIe card, through sideband signals, its power capabilities, so the latter can set its power limit accordingly.
  • PSUs should be able to turn on/off 175,200 times per year of their life without breaking!
  • Changes in low load efficiency. Above 60% is required for 10W or 2% of max-rated capacity and above 70% is a recommendation.
  • Increased tolerance for high power spikes, for the compatible PSU platforms. Up to 200% of the PSU's rated power for 100μs with a 10% duty cycle.
  • Increased slew rates for transient loads (2.5 - 5x times higher for the +12V rail).
  • 12V rail can go up to 12.2V to allow for lower voltage drops.
  • Broader load regulation limits for the +12V rail (+5 to -8% on the PCIe connectors and +5 to -7% for the other connectors).
  • Changes in the speed of the Power On signal to allow for faster response and system's wake up, even when the rails are not at zero levels but somewhere in between. 
  • Efficiency and design requirements for Alternative Low Power Modes (ALPM), previously called Alternative Sleep Modes
  • The labels on the PSUs should include T1 and T3 timings, among others.

GPU Noise Measurements

1

Nov 2019

Cybenetics initiated a GPU noise evaluation program.

We were the first to bring the noise certifications in power supplies, and we also found our way in chassis, where soon enough, we will have enough data to build a solid noise certification scheme. Our next step was GPUs, which are among the loudest parts in today's systems.

Thanks to a kind offer from Asus, of several graphics cards belonging to different market segments, we were able to fine-tune our GPU noise evaluation methodology and bring, for another one time, something innovative. Imagine the following scenario: you want to build a gaming system, but you also want it to be silent and not need ear-plugs (or good headphones), every time you enjoy your favorite game. We found a way to provide the overall noise output during an intense gaming session. On top of that, we give the overall noise output in a benchmark (3DMark Time Spy), along with the benchmark's score to verify the GPU's performance (in case some brands decide to send under-clocked samples for lower noise output). Finally, we also run a Furmark session, which pushes the GPU to its limits to see how it will perform in such an extreme usage scenario, which most likely will never happen in real-life conditions. 


You will find the first results of the afore-mentioned Asus GPUs here. The next step is to build a robust database, which will allow us to find the thresholds and ranges for an accurate GPU noise certification system. 

We will keep pushing on every front and bring you innovative technologies like the Powenetics project (for accurate GPU power measurements at the lowest possible cost) and a unified noise certification scheme, which will span from PSUs to GPUs, chassis and cooling solutions. This way, the building of a silent operating system will be a straightforward procedure; you will only have to select among LAMBDA-A(++) components. 



Chassis Noise & Thermal Evaluations

26

Oct 2019

Cybenetics enters into a new and highly interesting component category.

The chassis (enclosure or case) plays a significant role in any PC system since its thermal performance affects all the other parts. On top of that, its noise suppression performance is of substantial importance to users, and in the majority of cases, it is directly connected to the thermal performance. You see if a chassis uses sound dampening material and doesn't have many openings (perforations), to restrain the noise that the PC parts generate, inevitably it does the same with the heat which cannot get out from its internals, easily. This isn't good, of course, for energy-hungry parts like the CPU and the GPU(s).  

Since Cybenetics is a trail-blazer not only to power supply efficiency evaluations but to noise as well, it was only natural to enroll in chassis and provide accurate and detailed noise measurements. This is something that has never been done before, and we are excited about our new ventures. Besides noise, we also evaluate thermal performance, but for the moment, we keep this service only for beta evaluations, which aim to help manufacturers make better products.

Our goal is to enrich our chassis noise level database, and once we have enough results/data, to provide chassis LAMBDA noise certifications. We work our way in bringing the LAMBDA noise certifications in other product categories, besides power supplies, and unify all of them. So shortly (hopefully), let's say that a user wants to build a silent system. He/she will only have to choose a LAMBDA-A power supply and combine it with a LAMBDA-A chassis, and a similar noise certification cooling solution and graphics cards (yes we intend to move in cooling and GPU noise evaluations, as soon as we build bulletproof methodologies that provide highly accurate results).

新的ETA-230V和LAMBDA-230V效率和噪音认证计划

29

Jan 2018

针对电压230 伏结果的需求增加,我们决定启动两个新项目,即ETA-230V和LAMBDA-230V。 新项目将依循的一般测试方法和电压115 伏项目使用的方法相同,主要区别在于输入电压230伏和ETA-230V中的不同限制与范围。

与仅测试三个或四个不同负载点的其他效率评测等级程序相反; 与原始ETA项目一样,ETA-230V项目基于通过独特的定制应用程序获得的数千种不同负载组合的效率结果。 此过程允许Cybenetics使用单个值评级来表示电源供应器的真实总效率。 此外,非常重要的是,在最终评级中也考虑了功率因子,待机电源和+ 5VSB的效率,而在其他效率认证项目中甚至没有考虑这些因素。 最后,电源供应器必须符合CEC,ErP Lot 6 2010/2013和ErP lot 3 2014标准,并且还要符合(欧盟)No 617/2013规范中提到的所有要求:

(a) 在50%额定输出功率时, 效率为85%;
(b) 在20%及100%额定输出功率时,效率为82%,;
(c) 在100%额定输出功率下, 功率因子= 0.9。

ETA-230V


ETA-230V认证包括五个等别(A ++,A +,A,A-,Standard),每个认证章透过一个简短的URL和QR code与特定产品相关联。 与具有输入电压115 伏的ETA认证相比,整体效率水平提高了2%,仅管整体PF较低,但5V待机的整体效率也相同,每个等级降低1%。 最后待机电源的等级是一样的。

ETA-230V-Levels

CEC,ErP Lot 6 2010/2013和ErP lot 3 2014规范要求的效率规定如下所示。

ETA
 
LAMBDA-230V: 利用最先进的方法和高度精密的控制/监控程序,记录整个工作范围内的电源噪音数值,并通过这些数值得出总体噪音指数。 到目前为止,据我们所知,IT类产品没有其它相关的噪音认证项目,我们的目的是将该项目拓展到除了电源供应器以外的其他硬件产品。 

LAMBDA-230V


LAMBDA-230V项目由七个级别(A ++,A +,A,A-,Standard++,Standard+,Standard)组成。每个认证章都透过简短的URL和QR code与特定产品相关联,并打印在上面。 这样让使用者能轻松找到由Cybenetics认证的电源供应器的评测报告。

由于Cybenetics除了提供正常的测试结果外,还希望尽可能提供详细的评测报告,它还包含了许多其他结果(10%-110%负载下的效率和负载调节,纹波性能,维持时间,零件分析等,  这不仅将为日常用户提供有用的讯息,而且可将没有适当设备和软件的专业人士及电源供应器评测人员提供有用的讯息来遵循我们的方法。

进一步推动电源供应器的效率界限!



Cybenetics成立只为了一个目的;为台式机电源供器引进新的效率和噪音认证标准。与目前存在的其它测试程序相比,Cybenetics提供的自愿认证程序主要在为效率测试增加更高的准确性,同时对电源供应器运转噪音等级提供精确验证。

除了效率和噪音认证,Cybenetics还提供电源供应器 Beta测试和评估报告,可以在提高测试产品的品质和性能的过程中节省大量时间和金钱。

Cyberenetics測試程序發展是已經過多年的電源供應器評估經驗。現有的方法已經過數小時的測試和實驗,以獲得準確性和可靠性。 Cybenetics擁有專業及經驗豐富的人員以及運用最先進的測試設備來進行認證。欲了解更多訊息,請參觀Cybenetics主頁。

Cyber​​enetics测试程序发展是已经过多年的电源供应器评估经验。现有的方法已经过无数的测试和实验,以获得准确性和可靠性。 


与目前仅测试三个或四个不同负载点的效率评估程序相反; ETA程序使用特殊的定制应用程序集成了负载组合,以通过特殊的应用程序来考量数千种不同负载组合的效率结果。这个过程允许Cybenetics使用单一的价值评估来表示电源供应器的真实总效率。此外,非常重要的是在最终评级中也考虑到功率因数,待机功率和+ 5VSB轨的效率,而在其他效率认证测试中,这些测量甚至不被考虑。最后,所有测试的电源供应器必须符合ErP Lot 6 2010/2013和ErP lot 3 2014规定,并且还要符合(EU)No 617/2013规定中提到的所有要求:

(a)额定输出功率的50%时效率为85%;
(b)额定输出功率为20%和100%时效率为82%;
(c)100%额定输出功率时功率因数≥0.9。
Cybenetics还提供了一个名为LAMBDA的噪音认证。使用最先进的方法和高度精密的控制/监控程序,电源的噪音数据记录在整个操作范围内。这些数据随后被转换为声压级(SPL),平均值,并再次转换回dB(A)。现在据我们了解,没有像这样的噪音认证程序运用在IT产品上了, 而我们今后的目标,是将该程序扩展到其他硬体的元件上。

ETA认证包括五个等级(A++,A+,A,A-和S),而LAMBDA由七个等级(A ++,A +,A,A-,S++,S+和S)组成。每个制造商或品牌都可以选择使用描述单独等级的对应认证徽章,或者包含实际总体效率或噪咅等级的更全面的徽章。此外,每个徽章将透过一个简短的URL和QR码绑定到特定产品,这将印在徽章上。让用户能轻松找到由Cybenetics认证的电源供应器评估报告.


由于除了正常的测试结果之外,我们还想提供最详细的可能的评估报告,我们将包括一些其他测试结果(例如,10%-110%负载下的效率和负载调节;波动性能;持续时间等等),这不仅将为日常用户提供有用的讯息,而且可将没有适当设备和软体的专业人士及电源供应器评论者提供有用的讯息来应用我们的方法。对于这两个认证项目,我们主要使用115 伏交流电; 然而,ETA程序将包括一些使用230 伏交流电的测试,以检查是否符合欧盟各种法规。

对于这两个认证计划,我们主要使用115 VAC; 但是,ETA计划将包括一些使用230 VAC的测试,以检查是否符合各种欧盟法规。

您可以在www.cybenetics.com找到有关Cybenetics,ETA和LAMBDA认证计划的更多信息。在三个月的时间内,接近40个不同品牌的PSU型号已通过认证。您将在Cybenetics数据库中找到他们的评估报告,该数据库还包括一个图表选项(按制造商)。
