Power Supply Unit (PSU) ratings, specifications, and efficiency levels based on load.

Higher efficiency ratings result in less power loss reduced heat generation and lower energy consumption.

Rating Specification Efficiency by Load
80 PLUS Specifies efficiency at different loads Varies by certification level (80 PLUS Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Titanium)
80 PLUS Bronze Minimum 82% efficiency at 20% load 82% at 20% load, 85% at 50% load, and 82% at 100% load
80 PLUS Silver Minimum 85% efficiency at 20% load 85% at 20% load, 88% at 50% load, and 85% at 100% load
80 PLUS Gold Minimum 87% efficiency at 20% load 87% at 20% load, 90% at 50% load, and 87% at 100% load
80 PLUS Platinum Minimum 90% efficiency at 20% load 90% at 20% load, 92% at 50% load, and 89% at 100% load
80 PLUS Titanium Minimum 90% efficiency at 10% load 90% at 10% load, 94% at 50% load, and 90% at 100% load
80 PLUS Titanium/Redundant Similar to Titanium Similar to Titanium, but for redundant power supplies

*The specific efficiency levels may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer and model of the power supply
