I know we ideally want the best from prebuilts, but all of them are built to the bare minimum standard that is proven functional.
They don't know where the system is going, so they don't bother trying to cover all bases on thermals.
Standardization would be nice, but nobody is fighting for it in any industry.
I'm not going to argue from an efficiency standpoint, as 80Plus ratings vary by a number of factors.
But name one other piece of electronics whereby there isn't a maximum rated draw that is somehow allowed to exceed 100%.
If I plug my 40A stove into a 50A circuit, does it automatically pull 50A?
This computer could totally help with that.

if u cant understand this l33tspeak let me simplify it. Don't buy prebuilt garbage, build your own or find a used system with good parts on ebay/craigslist/fbmp.
The mods will probably do nothing, as usual.

One issue that has come up recently is motherboard power settings for CPU's allowing way too much power draw to the point that it cooks the processor. AMD had it happen and had to get motherboard manufacturers to put in tighter power restrictions. Intel is currently facing this issue and the other issue they are having is some of their CPU's aren't stable at baseline settings. Motherboard companies were enabling higher power profiles by default to avoid instability, in doing so this allowed some CPU's to get up to 100c. Given pushback for those profiles they enabled baseline by default and now stability issues are cropping up. Now it's motherboard companies saying it's bad processors and intel saying it's bad baseline settings.
As for 80Plus and efficiency, go look up their certification numbers and every single one you're going to see numbers for 20% load, 50%, 100%, Every single one has their highest efficiency ~50%, which is exactly why you want to double your expected draw.. Better efficiency means lower power bills, less heat, and your PSU lasts longer..
I will give kudos to the psu companies offering 10 year warranties though, thats new and unheard of. My old seasonic failed right at the 5 year warranty mark, thats what i call precision planned obsolescence engineering! impressive stuff.
It came with a good CPU and a 6600XT for around 700 on sale.
At the time the 6000XTs were $300 new.
HP builds these around the video card mostly.
The PSU and RAM specs are fine (people are marketed to think they need more power than they do). Used Omen 40 power supplies on ebay are by Cooler Master and are standard configuration so replacing shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks
