Hi Craig. I just read the report on the XFX pro series and might try getting one. However, would you consider including in your reports the following:
1) Efficiency at 10% load. Because many low-end systems and HTPCs will idle at around this level and it is the most common power level for modern efficient computers when doing ordinary things like browsing and office work.
2) EuP compliance. This may shock you, but I suspect there are a lot of PSUs that CLAIM to be compliant but are not. I have been trying to get an entry-level 400w model and I am just sending back my 3rd one in a row that does not meet the standard despite the manufacturer's claim. The first two (Corsair CX430 v2) both used nearly 30w under no load - possibly the whole batch is faulty. The one I have now (OCZ SXS2 400w) uses nearly 20w under no load.
Thanks in advance.
