I wonder what "DC-to-DC" means, considering there's no DC outlet in your typical household.

That's what happens when you omit two words and the one that makes articles doesn't totally understand what's what.

It means 12V is rectified then the other low power voltage level are offered by DC converters which reduces costs and improve stability and electrical quality

Bronze PSUs in 2024? Oh boy, I can't wait to see how shitty the internals of these are.

It's DC-to-DC conversion, which is such a ubiquitous term in PSU engineering that it's entirely understandable why they'd omit "conversion".

It's poor naming no matter how you look at it. PSU still takes AC and outputs DC. Using "DC-to-DC" in this context is confusing.

No it's not and not even confusing. DC-DC is the correct term to refers to a precise tech as I have explained, it is widely used and known.

"extra-long native black"
Is it even kosher to talk of such things? :laugh:

Sure, it's widely known among electrical engineers and whatnot. I was saying it's confusing for the sliver of the population that doesn't fit in that category.

Again no, it's widely used since decades and common in any marketing material.

This is from Corsair site. I know you aren't italian but you probably understand the point.

Boom, boom, boom lemme hear ya say hell no (hell noooooo).

To be honest, I am not sure why anyone will want to revive another vintage brand to create cheap casing, PSUs, and likely branch out to other accessories as well. There are way too many options, and slapping the Chieftec branding is not going to miraculously improve sales.

What do you mean, revive? Chieftec has always been there. Just like their designs, they're low-key. But they never went away, afaik.
