Efficiency will drop on either side of the 50% mark.
So if you are concerned with efficiency, make sure your total average load is 425 watts. The latest Intel 14900 chip can pull that much power by itself if you let it run without limit. Just be sure you know what you really need to power your system at it's maximum, and then choose a PSU based on 50% of that number for peak efficiency.
I have a 1300 watt platinum rated PSU in my rig because when it's crunching number under normal load, it's eating 600 to 700 watts continuously. I paid enough for the pieces and parts in this thing, I don't want to waste any in my electric bill.
All of this is just food for thought. Cheers 🍻 and good luck
It's been 110 most of Feb. It jumped to around 140.00 for a couple of days. Then dipped to this price.
The markup and then drop is a common thing to make the sale price look better than it is. If they sold any at the 140 price then they sell X amount at 99.99 price.. it averages back out to the month long 110 price.

What do you want in terms of efficiency? In other words for example: You spend 1 dollar at 80 percent efficiency,,,, you lost 20 cents in the actual cost to operate. It's not about "gaming" or "editing" or anything like! The only thing you need to ask is how much power do you really need to max out? Then cut that in half for a daily running load, on average. Shoot for 50% load on average if you want maximum efficiency.
Cheers 🍻
'Hardware monitor' for example.
Then just read online, basically anywhere I guess?

Again, terrible advice. ATX 3.0/PCI-E 5.0 PSUs are specifically designed for the power excursions modern CPUs and GPUs can have. They are capable of briefly outputting up to 1800 watts on the 12VHPWR cable. Average max load power draw should be the determining factor in deciding PSU size for ATX 3.0 PSUs, not the transient spikes.
Pretty much this. This is a terrible deal, especially for a PSU made by HEC. Having Best Buy pricematch the MSI MPG A850G to Microcenter for $105 gets you a far better PSU for not much more. If you don't want to pricematch, it's currently $110 at Newegg.
The only thing terrible was your interpretation and comprehension of my post.

Anyone buying a PSU now should be getting an ATX 3.0 PSU, especially where future-proofing is concerned. Bringing up non-3.0 PSUs is irrelevant.
I bought a 1000w 80+ gold Seasonic-made PSU to run SLI GTX 580s and to future-proof. It would shut down while gaming with the RTX 3080ti, but it did last me nearly 12 years. Meanwhile, the 850w 80+ gold CWT-made PSU I just bought runs the 3080ti all day long without an issue. I expect this 850w to last at least as long since I don't upgrade often and generally stay within the same wattage range when I do upgrade. In 10-15 years, a new PSU standard would probably be out anyways, making future-proofing now almost pointless. There's currently the push towards getting rid of the minor rails on the PSU and making it 12v only.
This is a thread on buying a new PSU, not utilizing what one already has. That makes your post all the more useless and pointless.
