I don't know?.I?m out of ideas here. Since it is a PSU review and the world apparently thinks that ?Star Trek? and computers are somehow intertwined, maybe I could go that route. You know, maybe a whole Mr. Scott needing four days to repair some dilithium crystal issue he's having. It would seem to fit the bill, but I found Sulu saying ?Captain! It's the condiments bar. There's a problem with the Special Sauce. The dispenser is jammed. It will take days to repair. ? on SNL more entertaining. Speaking of Sulu, George Takei is hilarious. If you aren't following him on Friendface (or whatever your social media choice is), you are missing out.

Our computers aren't run on dilithium crystals, however, and George Takei's interesting takes on the world may be powerful, but they won't run a GPU. These days, we are still dependent on PSUs. Fortunately, individual component power consumption is going down, even as performance goes up. With these lower power consumption components comes a different need, which is cleaner, better regulated power. It stands to reason that when consumption and need goes down, so does tolerance. While an 850 watt PSU has all the power it takes to run an enthusiast SLI/Crossfire gaming rig, the quality of that power, the regulation and stability of the power supply will be vital to peak performance and longevity.
