Massman Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Just posting this graph here as well. Needed it for a report ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calathea Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 So what does it tell? Most people use more than 2 kw PSU!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 PSU watt over time; most people use 500-850W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperhorn Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) "Over time" needs a time scale. 2 x 850 Watt PSUs would count as 1,700 Watt in this graph, right? Oh, and how many submissions actually were used as source data? Edited January 24, 2014 by Hyperhorn Damn, typo :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knopflerbruce Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 yea, no scales here C'mon Pete! Tell us! Label the axes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaPaKaH Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I'm not sure if the chart represents the actual situation. You can verify this via a database request, but I reckon that PSU is more frequently mentioned (also for marketing purposes) on the "high-end" scores (where high wattage is a must) whereas low-end and/or legacy stuff rarely features PSU info (might as well be due to obscure old PSUs not even being in database), which could skew the rankings a bit.

Massman Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Well of course this is data from overclockers and not "normal usage". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K404 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Yea, it's more of a guide to "PSUs that people were sponsored with or were REALLY happy about buying" (that's not a complaint. Xigmatek helped me with a 1200W and I thanked them in every result until they pulled out of Europe) example: Q2-Q3 2013... there was a drop in 500-850W units, but not enough increases in other size ranges to compensate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikecdm Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Lately I've been putting in more info than I used to. In several submissions I mention the psu even though it was not given to me. I just figure some of the stuff is useful to look back at and the more info I input, the better. In the past it was bare minimum. If it's 2d, bench, only motherboard cpu and memory. A 3d bench i'd add the gpu, but thats it. Now I see myself adding a bit more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug2507 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Same. Not that i sub with a lot of variation in hardware but if you're subbing with different cpu/gpu constantly then filling in every box could become a chore very quickly. The option to use a previous submission as a template would be great if it weren't restricted to the last handful of sub's. Maybe categorising by benchmark type or some sort of drop down would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObscureParadox_3XS Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 On the whole power supply note, is it possible to add PSU makes and models to the database. I was given a LEPA PSU to bench with and I'd like to have it on my submissions as a sort of thank you at the very least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
