Исходя из небольшого удивительно, что новая БЛОКИ ПИТАНИЯ является плохой инвестиционный по низкой PC Power я решил, что успокоить себя тем, что эффективное БЛОКИ ПИТАНИЯ is a good investment for a typical “enthusiast” PC.
To do this depends on the configuration, how much time the PC spends on, and how much time it spends being heavily utilised. I’m basing this on a fairly-high power single-GPU system with a Core i7 Процессор and a Radeon 5870. I’m also going to assume the system is operated from 3pm — 11pm weekdays and 9am — 1am weekends, making for a total of 72 hours a week. I’ll also assume the system spends 50% time idle and 50% full-load.
В system in question pulls ~80w idle and ~340w under full load. Finding efficiencies for this is tricky, so the value will be rounded up to 400w (the БЛОКИ ПИТАНИЯ’s in question don’t vary greatly between 300w and 400w)
All of these estimates are deliberately on the high side. I expect a typical PC will spend more time off, more time idle, and wont be loaded as intensely as the example. Most systems also use lower power Процессор’s and GPU’s too.
Фигура для дженерика БЛОКИ ПИТАНИЯ основан на минимальных требованиях и, следовательно, является наихудшим случаем. Даже с очень плохим КПД БЛОКИ ПИТАНИЯ ничья AC от стены не будет увеличиваться по мере ничья DC уменьшается. Я кал-куб связан-ные Лучший случая в год SAV-Ing, based on a kWh charge of 10p.

A new БЛОКИ ПИТАНИЯ in this scenario is probably not advisable on a financial only basis. Even with quite a lot of heavy use, and comparing the most efficient БЛОКИ ПИТАНИЯ’s with the worst a budget ATX БЛОКИ ПИТАНИЯ can perform the saving will take around 5 years to recoup. A real world upgrade is unlikely to net this much saving.
If you are considering replacing an existing БЛОКИ ПИТАНИЯ my advice would be not to bother, unless you have additional reasons. If you are buying new then it is worth paying more for a better БЛОКИ ПИТАНИЯ, within reason. Of course if you want the efficiency for other reasons (низкий уровень шума, low heat) then those factors may make the value difference irrelevant.

Added the HuntKey Jumper R90. Whilst it is sold as a 300W БЛОКИ ПИТАНИЯ, it does work slightly above spec, especially if well cooled. This БЛОКИ ПИТАНИЯ does make a bit of different to the conclusions. It produces savings of over £20, which is a significant proportion of the price of the БЛОКИ ПИТАНИЯ! Срок окупаемости 2 год, with an expectation that electricity prices will continue to rise would certainly be worth thinking about. However, the HuntKey isn’t specified high enough to really provide for the configuration specified in this scenario, and as such we couldn’t recommend running it beyond its rating.
