Re: Hair dryers and vacuum cleaners next?
Vacuum cleaners were nerfed here in the EU.. expect the same to happen in the US.
I have a bronze PSU, and I willl NEVER recoup the cost.. from a decent PSU to a "green PSU" the difference is about 2-5% efficiency.
If your rig draws 75W, and you use it 40 hours a day, 5 days a week for eleven months a year for five years, that us 165KWh. If we save 5%, that is 8.25KWh, or about 1.32$.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to recoup the cost.
It is way better to use low power CPUs than high efficiency PSUs.
