Hey Guys,
I've built plenty of computers in my time however when it comes to general electronic knowledge i'm slightly lacking. Now my question... if the total wattage required by the components in a PC is less than the rated output of the PSU does the PSU still draw its rated wattage from the wall? i.e. if the components need 400W of power and the PSU is rated at 500W will it draw 400W or 500W from the wall?
Hope this is clear and thanks for the help
Luke
