    Aren’t modern GPUs more in the 200-500W range? They’ve gotten very power hungry recently.

      remember when they just plugged into the motherboard and didn’t need multiple external power connections?

      I don’t mind RGB as long as it’s easy to turn off and it stays off forever.

      What I do mind is that my desktop turned on the RGB is off, but as soon as I shut it down it turns on. And guess what’s at the perfect angle to get blasted with the light? My bed. I eventually found the SEPARATE TOGGLE FOR RGB IN S5 STATE, but guess what constantly gets turned back on with every bios update?

      PSUs are waaaaay more efficient when operating closer to their rated capacity. Pulling 200W through a 1kW power supply is like making a marathon runner breathe through a straw.
