Some words about the PSU stuff:
More is not always better. When your system can be driven safely with a 400W PSU don't buy a 1000W PSU, just because you have the money. AC/DC conversion efficiency is highest when the load on the PSU is high. With light load the efficiency is quite bad. Modern PSUs can get to around 88% efficiency - that doesn't mean however that you always get the 88% - you only get it when the load on the PSU is high, maxing out what it can deliver. Say you have your 400W system hooked up to a 1000W PSU, you only have 40% load - resulting in a efficiency around 65% or worse. The results is more unnecessary heat produced by the AC/DC conversion. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
