Yeah, this is just rearranging some things to avoid California's new efficiency regulations. If you move the inefficent stuff to the motherboard, the PSU magically gets more efficient!
- tedunangst 7y agoHuh? Is California regulating PSU efficiency or power draw from the wall?
- wtallis 7y agoI don't see how regulating power draw from the wall could work for anything other than idle, because PCs very widely in power requirements and performance. Regulating efficiency makes more sense because it doesn't automatically give low-end machines a pass or ban high-end machines.
- tedunangst 7y agoIf this is the regulation I think we're talking about (would help to specify) it is precisely about idle power draw.
