" I miss the days when every Power Supply Unit came with a self-destruct switch.
So I was pleased when I got this to review, because it offers not one, not two, but actually four controls on the back panel that have, with any luck, the potential to kill your computer."

The usefulness (or not) of PSU voltage tweaking trimmers....

The pedantic view, is that if the PSU starts with in-spec voltages, resistive loss should not take them out of spec, and if the voltages are poor to start with, then you need a better PSU, rather than the ability to trim.

I suppose if you like the onboard monitoring to show absolutely spot on, trimmers are a feature.
