Saving energy is already a critical task in many parts of the world and started to become a issue even in countries that had not this on a high priority. Computer systems are demanding more power than before which can be attributed to all kind of factors like faster video cards or processors, larger hard drives and other components that raise the power consumption of a computer.
Companies began to research and produce energy efficient PC components that reduce the power consumption of a computer system without reducing its processing power. One of this programs is the 80 Plus initiative for power supply units. The power supply unit (or psu) is basically the unit that distributes the power to the various PC components by converting AC power from electric utilities into DC power.
Standard power supply units loose a lot of energy in that process while efficient ones loose considerably less. The [...]
