£230 for a PSU :/

On the face a it a lot as I only paid £160 for my Corsair HX850 [which has dropped in price]. So £70 for an extra 150w:(
If it lasts the 7 years warranty @ 24/7 running then you should save some money on the electricity.
£230/7 = £32.86 a year/ 48 weeks to allow for holidays = 68p a week.
 
So compared to say my 1200watt silentpro gold what can I expect to achieve with this power supply that I cannot do already performance wise on my supply?
 
Dell introduced the worlds first "titanium" efficiency rated PSU's in their servers ages ago so AceModder is incorrect.
For clarification: Titanium > Platinum

Its not just the efficiency, there is some weird ripple in the jonnyguru review.

There are several PSU's that are better than this one.
