Two dumb question about PSUs bros

A) If a PSU is 750w does it mean it uses 750w all the time, no right?

B) does the energy bill come cheaper with a 80 plus gold PSU than a bronze one

No, that's its max capacity.

psus only draw as much power as the components request from it.

the higher tier psus like platinum are more efficient so yes you save money on your bill

750W is the max rated sustained output but it can output more briefly (transient spikes)
the power draw from the wall itself will be higher because it isn't 100% efficent

1. Use >>/sqt/
A. No, it means that the unit will be capable of an RMS of 750w (although well designed units can peak higher than this for short peroids).
2. Yes, but all in all, it's negligible. Still good to have.

A) If a PSU is 750w does it mean it uses 750w all the time, no right?

It uses only what it needs plus efficiency sanction. I come to that.

B) does the energy bill come cheaper with a 80 plus gold PSU than a bronze one

Yes. You see the efficiency is best at about 50%. But Gold, Platinum, Titanium have wider efficiency ranges and you will not suffer an efficiency sanction.

If you live in a turd world where energy is expensive but somehow CPUs are cheap then go for 1000 W Platinum.

jesus christ you are an ignorant coon and I really wish that was a bannable offense you fucking retarded nigger
