Summary:

Can we really trust the 80 Plus certification of a power supply?

 

Here is a snippet:

"The 80 Plus certification was an important step to change the scenario from the power supply industry: now the savvy consumer knows that he or she should buy a power supply with at least 80% efficiency. New certification levels (Bronze, Silver and Gold) raised the bar even more. But maybe it is time for a change on the 80 Plus certification methodology. Let's see why."

 

A news post would be highly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance,
