High End PSU Shoot out

jmke · 17th April 2006, 21:46

With the introduction of power hungry video setups like Crossfire and SLI, having a PSU that does what it says on the tin is more important than ever. A number of magazines and websites have conducted scientific tests of power supplies in recent months, measuring their peak loads and cut-off points, as well as their efficiency. Whilst this is quite useful data, I don’t believe it is an accurate representation of how a real PC works.
