It works OK.

It's very high efficiency from the start, usually over 90% at 230v, so at the average 100-150w loads computer have nowadays, it's not a problem to dissipate 10-25 watts of power.
The 12v fets (or whatever they are) are on the bottom of the pcb and heatsinked to the whole case just like with the Seasonic X series power supplies... so they have a lot of heatsink, in the computer case.

Here's a review for the 400w model : http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php...tory4&reid=303 (page 3 with dissasembly, go back a page or two for the tests)
