Aside from the Cybenetics power supply certification, another commonly recognized certification for power supplies is 80 PLUS. Introduced early on, 80 PLUS measures the efficiency of power supplies at 20%, 50%, and 100% load levels to ensure effective power conversion.
| 80 PLUS Certification Levels and Efficiency Ratings |
The 80 PLUS certification consists of six levels, each representing different efficiency standards:

The higher the certification level, the better the power conversion efficiency and lower energy loss.

| How to Calculate Power Conversion Efficiency |
If your computer consumes 600W in total and you want to use a Gold-certified power supply, the calculation would be:

This means you need at least a 750W 80 PLUS Gold-certified power supply.
| Why Choose an 80 PLUS Certified Power Supply? |
⚡ Energy Efficiency: Higher conversion rates mean less energy waste and lower electricity bills.
🔥 Reduced Heat Generation: Better efficiency reduces excess heat, extending component lifespan.
✅ Stable Performance: Higher certification levels ensure consistent power output, benefiting system stability.

| Which 80 PLUS Certification Should You Choose? |
👨💻 For Office & Light Gaming Users:
Standard, Bronze, or Silver is sufficient since power demands are relatively low.
🎮 For Gamers & Content Creators:
Gold or higher is recommended to ensure minimal power loss and stable performance for extended usage.
