Read more.Capacity and efficiency, but what would you use 1,500W for?
How is efficiency worked out?
Is it n% efficient at m% of full load? Is it averaged over a range of loads?
Indeed, is efficiency vs. load a linear relationship, or some other function?
PHP Code:$s = new signature();
$s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
It's a minimum efficiency over a range of loads. At any particular load the efficiency can be higher.
Honestly... who's *ever* going to use 1.5kW? That's just ludicrous.

In terms of high wattage power transformers, 85%+ in home appliances is quite good
Some incandescent light bulbs make for scary reading

i should be a psu then if i went to work and told my boss i was gonna work at 85% efficiency tomorrow i am pretty sure he would chase me round the building with his staple gun and a hammer.
I need 80667 of these to power my time machine...
1.21 Gigawatts !
80plus certification requires the stated efficiency at 20%, 50% and 100% load. Corsair have graphs for their PSUs showing the efficiencies at these points and in-between. So, as long as your computer idles at 300W, these will do fine !
^ That's only a touch over $36 million dollars. If you become the sole winner of Friday's Euromillion, you'll get your money back!
Still not enough for 4x 4870X2 in a Foxconn Destroyer with an E6400 running at 6 Ghz.
1500 watts is plain nuts !
you do realise Foxconn Destroyer has a AM2 socket and intel things dont go inside it?
our boiler broke so we has no heating or hot water, this is the bloody result ^^
