Guy's, I got a SkyHawk 520W GM-520SC PSU a while ago to replace my old 330W Antec TruePower PSU (which had become unstable).

I've found this to be a great PSU even though it's not properly EPS2.1 compliant.

The one thing I'm left wondering is what the efficiency rating is for this PSU. The manufacturer just states it's high efficiency. Well great, but what was high efficiency 2 years ago would be considered to be low efficiency these days. It's kind of a pointless statement. :rolleyes:

Does anyone know the energy efficiency percentage for this PSU? I mean, it has to be better than my old 330W Antec TruePower, but by how much. :confused:

Ah, found it... Max efficiency is 80%, so I guess that'd make it something like 72 - 75% efficiency in general use... Not all that good. Ah well, what can you do. It had to be cheap for some reason.
