The 5V rail doesn't look much different from the 3.3V rail. We can see a heavy constant drop for the duration of the test. The results are still within specifications, but it was very close at the highest loads. With a little help from the provided software, however, we could adjust this rail to get it running beautifully close to the ideal output.

    Read the test methodology article.

    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?

    I am in the midle of testing that with other models. I will write something which will bring light in this in matter...
