i've questions on some PSU.dis afternoon i went to allIT at ss14.i quite interested in a 600Watt Cooler Master Extreme which cost around 260-280+ if i'm not mistaken.den i saw Acbel 450 Watt also same price like dat.den i quite confused wif the label.

in acbel 450Watt its stated efficiency 80%+-
in cooler master Extreme 600Watt is stated efficiency 70%
in cooler master Real Power 450 watt is stated efficiency 75%+-

wat the sense tht efficiency means?
example: Acbel 450Watt minimum power output is 80% X 450W =360Watt  ????
or Cooler Master Extreme 600Watt minimum power output is 70% X 600W=420Watt???

guys, so tell me wats the meaning of it and which one  u all recommend based on the price.i dun wanna get smtg above 300 bucks which enermax is charging.

Efficiency of a PSU means how efficient a PSU runs when it is at peak load. Basically, the higher wattage a PSU has... the lower efficiency it has compared with lower powered PSUs. By right, 70% is actually pretty decent on a 600w PSU.

Ok Guys one quick question.

Corsair 620w Modular / Silverstone 560w Strider / Tagan 480w EasyCon / Acbel 550w Real

which one is better?

Tagan and Corsair is modular and it looks good interms and packaging and design but dunno wether good or not.. Tagan is the best i think for cabling.. but expensive

The best is the Corsair. A whoopin 50a on the 12v rails and considering it is modular, thats pretty damn awesome. Its not too expensive anyways, if you have the money... definitely go for it.
