be quiet! System Power 10 750W Review - A Big Step Backwards
Fan Noise »Efficiency
Using the results we gathered, we plotted a chart showing the PSU's efficiency at low loads and loads ranging from 10 to 110 percent of the maximum-rated capacity.
Efficiency is low in all load ranges.
10–110 % Load Testing
These tests reveal the PSU's load regulation and efficiency levels under high ambient temperatures and show how the fan-speed profile behaves under harsh operating conditions.| Load Regulation & Efficiency Testing Data - be quiet! System Power 10 750W | ||||||||||

Super-Light Load Testing
There are no super-light load tests because I only run them with 115 V and this is a 200-240 V input PSU.5VSB Efficiency
