assuming all other hardwares are same. will upgrading to a higher wattage but more efficient psu consume more electricity?

eg from a bronze 650W to platinum 860W

However, the PSU efficiency is not constant; it changes with respect to how much load on the PSU. Take a look at the efficiency graph of a Cooler Master PSU.

So, to make it clear, the PSU attains its highest efficiency at around 50% of the load.
That means should I get a PSU such that the peak draw is at 50% of the load? Nope in most cases
The reason behind it is because most of the time your PC is idling. However, there are some exceptions as well, for example, for those folding rigs.

Wrong, I would say the biggest competitor of those top-tier quality brands.

Will appears on the market anytime this month or early next month, confirmed. Pricing will be revised when landed on local market. Almost full line up from lowest to highest end.

80+ Gold, modular & fair pricing.

A near perfect score on JonnyGuru's review! " This unit is awesome..." - and that would be our G series 650 watt power supply - more details here:

Seasonic G Series 650W PSU Review

Most probably at RM249 & RM299 for 500W/600W respectively.

299 for 80+ gold modular psu is a no brainer.

Here's the PSU Positioning from Super-Flower

Golden Green HX - 80+ Gold
Golden Green - 80+ Gold (Rosewill Capstone)
Golden King - 80+ Platinum (Rosewill Tachyon)
Leadex Gold - 80+ Gold, Full Modular, Lighted connector
Leadex Platinum - 80+ Platinum, Full Modular, Lighted connector*/**
Leadex Titanium - 80+ Titanium, Full Modular, Lighted connector*/**

*Unfortunately certain competitors complaint so these must be marketed as Platinum for now.
**Will come with fully individually sleeved cables on later model. No modding required. Price is for fully sleeved cables

All PSUs come will 5 years 1:1 exchange warranty. Large buffer, short wait time.
All PSUs will be semi modular/fully modular.
No white level, bronze, or silver will be offered. You get the best of the best quality, along with the best possible price.

The only complaint on Super-Flower, which is the "availability" would not apply since all these will be available in Malaysia. The Golden Green HX will be available some time next week or the week after. The Golden Green and Golden King have been offered here for some time under Rosewill branding. Leadex is the new flagship, albeit a bit fancy, will be available in September. Leadex 1000W will be available together with the Golden Green HX though.

But are you ready to pay RM 599 for this? This is the same as Golden King...but fanless

Hi all PSU expert..
I want to know, if I want to use a low power processor(AMD E350, 25W idle) + high power PSU(true power 550W). the power consumption for the PSU is still depend on the CPU(low power).

bought a Cooler Master 550W Real Power but its so hot when system full load.
but the website mention "Operation Temperature  0~40°(Nominal Input Voltage)"
this is over 40'c,make the room,gpu also increase temperature
what is the temperature when u guys full load ?

sorry i got very limited knowledge on psu, and my rig is :

intel g2020
2 x 4gb ram
ati radeon asus 7950
hdd
dvd rom
asrock b75m-dgs r2.0
550W Real Power

how to make sure or test it is overloaded ?

actually i saw the website write there 40'c same with others brand psu.
i am worry if buy another psu also having the problem.
what is you psu temperature ?
thanks

ya,its full load.
and i am tight budget,and saw the requirement for 7950 is 500w.
since i dont have many hdd or fan so i bought this unit.

do i need to get good brand or high watt psu to solve this problem ?
planning to get corsair cx500

icic,looking for psu.
Super Flower Golden Green HX 500W RM249
corsair cx500 RM199.
i guess the corsair is fit the my budget.
do u have others suggestion without RM200 ?
thanks thanks

i am using cooler master 550w,this is not cap ayam and enough watt but why i change to antec vp550,Super Flower Golden Green HX 500W ,corsair cx 500 can solve the heat problem ?

Very questionable topic and u guys point it out .
This review is for the 400W, not sure how about the 500 and 600W units from HX series.
Similar case like FSP Hexa 400W which having bad review, while 500W is still a decent unit .
