What is a 80 PLUS certification?

The 80 PLUS specification stipulates that power supplies must have an energy efficiency of 80% or higher at 20%, 50%, and 100% load.

This makes these power supplies significantly more energy-efficient than typical power supplies.

The 80 PLUS specification can be divided into different levels:
