QUOTE(celciuz @ Sep 18 2008, 10:06 PM) Aiyo, typo just now. What I meant was, real power 450w isn't a "true power" as in like 450w output and 550w as the input. My PSU although cap ayam, manufacture claim to have a 80% efficiency... and not 50% like what you said. even if it cannot attain 80%, at least also got 70% from what I read from reviews. well... correct me if i am wrong...if is 70% means your PSU output is around 385.. where as 450 Real Power is almost 450w right?60W is a lot of diff |
