    Switch Modding - Hako Royal Clears + Kailh BOX Blacks
    I wanted black bottom housings for my Kailh BOX Blacks! 😁
     

    Before...
     

    ...and After!
     
    Process Pics:
    Yus, I'm using a pocket knife. Neu, I don't have a switch opener. If it works, it works, amirite? 😆
     

    Hako Royal Clears!
     

    Kailh BOX Blacks!
     
    Only 10 done for now, 'cos I need this thing called sleep. 😁
     
    Side Note: The Hako Royal Clears lose a lot of tactility after swapping out its bottom housing with that of the Kailh BOX Black's -- the bump is nowhere as sharp as it was before the mod. Would not recommend doing this if you're very particular about your tactiles, but I'ma linear-y person, so it's sorta a non-issue for me? 👀

    you're doing two things wrong here
    1: the "50% is most efficient" myth comes from the 80+ certification. since they only do 3-4 loads, being 10%, 20%, 50% and 100%, 50% comes out as the most efficient. When looking at a test that does it per 10% instead you'll see that the efficiency curve actually peaks before or after that point generally, not on the exact load of 50%. You can check the many, many reviews of various PSUs for this, or look at a certification like Cybenetics' ETA
    2: are you planning to go with a X299/TR dual GPU system any time soon? if not, you really don't need any kind of that wattage, with parts getting more efficient and the expected launch of ATX 12VO your PSU will be obselite in a couple years anyways.
     
    with that said, if you're actually looking for a reliable unit and you want to get the most efficiency out of it, don't go with a high wattage unit. grab something reasonable in wattage and run it somewhere in the region of 30-80% load, and don't expect the peak wattage to be 24/7 unless you run furmark+prime95 for fun. State your system you want to combine it with and if you actually do want the math to be precise... maybe your electronics cost?

    those 600W are uber peak load when running prime 95 and furmark at the same time. in normal gaming/work scenarios, you'll likely be closer to 400W, which means a 850W psu might be better for you . So here I stand, hurr-durring about getting a smaller capacity psu.
    having said that, here are my recommendations:
    Corsair HX Platinum
    SeaSonic FOCUS PX
    Corsair HXi
    Asus ROG Thor 850

    600w/h x 4 hours a day = 2400w/h
    0.145 / 10 = 0.0145
    0.0145 x 24 = £0.348/day
     
    0.348 x 5 years (1825) = £635,10 after 5 years.
     
    Platinum = 94% (at 50% load)
    Titanium = 96% (at 50% load)
     
    £635,10 / 0.94 = £675,64 (Platinum)
    £635,10 / 0.96 = £661,56 (Titanium)
     
    With the Titanium PSU you'd save around £14.
    Yay! (if my math is correct lol)
     
     
    The £300 you listed is a complete ripoff for the T2. They usually go for around £200 - 250, but its a good PSU.
    The Seasonic TX-1000 is also a good choice, but seemingly unavailable in the UK.

    always buy something that's 100W more than what is written.

    I tried Monster Punch when needed to stay awake for 3 days, only one that does not taste like piss. But I prefer a bit of coffee and some sleep too.

    If I have to have an energy drink - Red Bull. It's the least repulsive out of what I've tasted, in my opinion.
     
    Ideally though, I'll have coffee.

    Pretty good is not actually good. There are better options to recommend. Watching one review is not enough imho.
    @SAVE12HKI love when people don't respond to any criticism just put a laughing reaction.

    Damn, okay.
    But everyone should always take the performance numbers as fact, but verify them with other reviewers, check out the specs yourself and then make up your own mind.
     
    And of course, AMD is just another company in the sea of companies, not the consumer's pal.
