That's not what efficiency means.
Efficiency = the amount of power you waste to get to your rated power.
Any 400W PSU can deliver 400W to the system.

Oh, if it's really that way, then some PSUs really lie their wattage =) If the 400W PSU I tried gave 16A in 12V, that would make 192W on it and leave more than 200W on 3.3V and 5V which is obviously not true. Thanks for that, I'm done with the OT talk, sorry all.

Cool and can't wait to see the real GPU W usage. I put a 8500GT inside just so that my GTX 280 drops to idle clocks. Don't know how much 8500GT uses power on idle, is it less than GTX 280 idle on 3Dclocks/voltages - 2Dclocks/voltages or did I just add my power consumtion :)

PowerColor Radeon HD 4730 review?

W1zzard, have you ever considered reviewing the PowerColor Radeon HD 4730? It seems fairly different, with a different clock speed, lower profile, different fan etc. Also I've seen one with only one 6pin connector rather than two (but for some reason there are PowerColor Radeon HD 4730s with two 6pin connectors, which is really strange). It would be interesting to see a review on how the two stack-up against each other.
