1200W at your service

I bought a 1200W power supply, I don't think I need that much power, but as the saying goes, you can't have too much power, right? This power supply is deeper than a standard ATX power supply. Very good power supply, looks solid. I get 87% efficiency, other reviewers report higher efficiency, needs a little more research. System, anyway I just took a mini-USB cable (I didn't use the one that came with it) out of the computer and plugged it into any external USB 2.0 port, bingo! If you want to spin the fan, select GPU Temp in the group, experiment and you will spin it. UPDATE: I figured out why I'm getting 87% efficiency. This is explained on page 4 of the manual. I get 95% efficiency when the system load is 50%, since my system load is about 10%, the efficiency is 87%. Does it make sense? UPDATE 12/07/18 Very happy with this power supply. My HP computer came with a cheap power supply that I never trusted. I don't see that with this power supply. I don't want a computer running more than 40 hours while 4TB is encrypted with Bitlocker etc. I say you pay for what you get all the time and I know it's a clichรฉ but it's true. UPDATE 12/16/18 Out of the blue the Link software stopped reporting the status of the PSU like load, temperature etc. Even if everything is ok the PSU LED is blinking orange and green, in this case it became solid orange delivered quickly and quickly because Revain knows how to do it.
