I'd be more inclined to believe that the PSU was under-rated than to believe that it's 90% efficient. Where are the tests to back that up?
oh...and....

Most of the time this is not the case. Actually you may probably find that most psu's are overated and this may actually be one that pushes the numbers it's supposed to. Been that way in the audio world forever. Never became more clear than after seeing 500w receivers in your typical electronics stores and hearing a NAD integrated rated at 60w blow the pants off all of them and sound even at low levels so much superior. Amps = v + a and you can throw the equation very high by having lots of volts which mean very little. It's the amps baby.
Companies always pitch what sells. These days it's efficiency over watts. The best I've seen is around 85%... suddenly we're to believe that 90% is possible without any evidence?
Sounds like a damn lawyer dosen't he ?
You forgot to yawn.
Yawn! I'm just asking for a bar chart... or maybe a link to Tom's hardware... is that too much?
