94% efficient! When I started building PCs it was common to see 60-75% if you weren't inside a very narrow window of optimum load. It's mind-blowing how efficient electronics have become.
Also < 0.4W idle. Wow.
- zokier 4y ago"80 Plus Gold" rating already required up to 92% efficiency, so 94% isn't that groundbreaking. Here is one random example from 5y ago that hits 94-96% efficiency https://www.anandtech.com/show/11252/the-seasonic-prime-titanium-power-supply-review/3 https://www.anandtech.com/show/11252/the-seasonic-prime-tita...
- ericbarrett 4y agoI disagree, 92 -> 94% is a 25% reduction in waste!
- magicalhippo 4y agoAt 100W load, it's a 2.3W reduction is waste. If it's on 24/7 that's about 20kWh over a year, or just shy of charging my old Nissan Leaf once. Then again, 20kWh here, 20kWh there, it adds up.
