It would be helpful if your specifications for power supplies included power supply efficiency under load and idle conditions.

I thinks that's asking a bit too much.
Should they quote manufacturers figures? If not then which review site?
People will be asking for noise when idle/load as well IMO.
Yes please!Originally Posted by amjedm

Some power supplies are loud all the time.

On the subject of PSU's why do many of the ones I've recently bought now ship without power cords? They're not cheap PSU's either (usually £50-£60 range) but it smacks of cheapness from manufacturers.
i can understand why they wouldn't bother when it is an after market product like a lot of the high end supplies we buy. I have dozens of power cables in boxes in the cupboard here and at work. UK, US, EU, extensions, splitters, two pins ones, weird three pin ones that HP insist on using fr their laptops. Just about every configuration you could imagine. I don't need any more
PSU's ship without cords, so they can sell the same package the world over. Localisation is expensive. Thats why some dont bother.
Hell iPods ship without a power cord
Mmm, unfortunately, I think that is asking a bit much, as efficiency can vary, even in top notch PSUs by a significant amount depending on load...what then is "idle", as opposed to load, etc etc.
From a reseller's point of view, it's possibly impossible
Nice idea, although the best thing would probably be to visit a comprehensive and reliable review site.
I think they could state the efficiency of the PSU, while also mentioning the setup of their rig when they did the testing. Although theoretically if setup was to be recreated the results could still vary very slightly.Mmm, unfortunately, I think that is asking a bit much, as efficiency can vary, even in top notch PSUs by a significant amount depending on load...what then is "idle", as opposed to load, etc etc.

At Scan? Think the poor guys have enough to do
On a related note, I've always found SPCR's PSU reviews to be fairly good in this respect. http://www.silentpcreview.com/article28-page1.html
