As I said no CPU core that I know of has a core voltage of
12 volts.
I fail to see why you are disputing this.
Says the guy who thinks CPU core run at 12 volts.
You are not fooling anyone bar yourself, and thats hardly
an achievement.

I don't need to "dispute" your made up nonsense. The issue
was of which PSU rail is used for CPU power, and if you had
bothered to learn a bit before pretending to know, you'd
have realized it. Some things are such basic and common
knowledge that I'm not going to continually argue about
them, but if you check AMD or Intel's datasheets it is clear
enough, even with your basic inability to understand the
technology involved.
I guess you just don't get it. I'll type real slow for you:
The power supply's 12V rail supplies the power to a
step-down regulation circuit on the motherboard. That
circuit reduces the 12V to a lower voltage, like 1.5V or
whatever the CPU uses. I never implied the CPU vCore is
12V, only that the 12V rail from the PSU that used for CPU
power, because it _IS_, on most modern boards, while older
boards more often used 5V rail from the PSU (also mentioned
previously but you seem to need everything repeated till it
sinks in).

LOL!! Thanks for that, I needed a laugh. As if a mouth-breather like you,
someone who has repeatedly proven he can't grasp the most basic of concepts,
even when they're explained in detail, could ever hope to know a 100th of
what Kony knows about what is his field of expertise, a man who knows more
than I do and I've been building computers for over 10 years.

LOL, I *was* right! Showing your true colours now huh? It's obvious you
didn't really want advice. You're just a weak person who doesn't have the
courage of his own convictions and came here hoping that at least someone
would tell him he wasn't making a mistake in buying out-dated, end-of-line,
crappy equipment. When someone who has infinitly more knowledge on the
subject than you ever will tries to advise you where you're going wrong you
get abusive. Typical "little man" syndrome. You feel threatened when
reminded how little you really know.
This whole thread reads like educators trying to get it through to the
mentally challenged kid how things work. Now the menatlly challenged kid
(that's you BTW in case you're too obtuse to work out the analogy) starts
throwing his books around.
Go away and buy your outdated POS. Stop bothering the grown-ups. Kony says
it like it is and obviously you are incapable of hearing the truth or taking
constructive criticism on board.
Buh-bye now.

Well your obviously chose you name prudently but lets just look at the fact.
Here is the statement I made
"I doubt many CPU's cores run at 12V and that is where most of the energy is
spent."
And here is your reply
"Actually, in the case of power supplies, you're wrong"
So you are saying that CPU cores run at 12V, well I think you have lost
all credibility there.
You then try to back track and say it actually takes a regulated voltage
voltage from the motherboard. I didn't say anything about power supplies
all I mentioned was the CPU's core volotage which is not 12 volts,
discussing power suppplies is irrelevant to the CPU core voltage.
Discussing computer power supply design is rather irrelevent as most
people can't see futher than the end of their nose and are incapable
of realising that the cheap badly designed computer they buy will
cost them more in the long run.
Manufacturers realise most people are as thick as two short planks
and thus produce systems which will keep them happy (at least in the
short term), short term profit is their only motive, any dip in short term
sales and they are out on their arses so who can blame them?

I actually have a degree in electronics a slightly higher qualification than
ten
year experience assembling computers I would imagine.
I did say I couuld design a better PSU for a computer and I believe I am
correct I saying that.
I can't be arsed to do it right now because quite frankly I have better and
less boring things to do.
Just because PSU's are as they are does not mean they are suitable, it just
means they are cheap (to make). They guy who sells you the PSU doesn't
give a t*ss how much power is wasted in its use, afterall he don't pay for
that
*you* do. The same goes for other electrical devices such as washing
machines
and fridges, the manufacturer knows they money you save by having a cheap
PSU/motor will soon be lost in the power you waste whilst using it.
HE ain't going to tell you that though becasue he knows most people are
just to plain uninformed to realise that and simply buy the model with the
lowest price tag rather than the one which will cost him less overall.

Yes laugh you might know more about the PSU's on the market,
you probably don't realise they cheap badly designed units unsutable
for the job they do.
There is a difference between knowledge and intelligence,
I have both, you have the (some) of the former.
You probaly have more knowledge of badly designed syetem than I
do thouogh, however it is not an area of great interest to me.
It is something which annoys me more than fascinates me.

yes, let's...
Which is partially wrong. CPU cores do run _OFF_ the 12V
PSU rail, because ALL components that use a higher current
or lower supply voltage must make do with what the PSU
provides and work. 12V is in fact where the energy is
spent, because that is what comes OUT of the power supply,
that is the power rail which is later reduced to the CPU
vCore which is a lower voltage. The PSU does not directly
supply CPU voltage and thus, it is correct that 12V is where
most of the energy is going.
You are clueless. I never wrote "CPU runs at 12V". I wrote
that the 12V rail is that which is used to power CPU.
You are extremely ignorant. If you would spend the time
learning, instead of wading in ignorance, you would then
better understand where and why you went wrong.
It was no backtrack, it was directly applicable to the
context already made... power usage of the system and your
foolish ramblings about knowing what a 450W PSU is
outputting. YOU started the context about power supply
output, and the false conclusion about why we need 450W (or
whatever applies to a particular system). If you weren't so
lazy, you would have at least done a bit of research as
there are plenty of hardware oriented websites out there
that provide power estimation or even meaurements of system
load under various uses like gaming- none of which use as
much as 450W, even with SLI'd GF7800 or whatever video card
you want, but some DO need a "450W" spec'd PSU because of
their high 12V amperage needs.
Then don't.

Well THIS should be entertaining.
Go ahead, post a schematic of this great design. Even a
sketch on a piece of notebook paper.
Does that mean we won't be blessed with your posts anymore?
.... because if you have the time to post, you also have the
time to mention what this great topology change is that you
feel will be "a better PSU for a computer".
So what are you claiming should be changed, which subcircuit
will you do what to, to gain this efficiency? I don't
think you can even provide a basic description of a SMPS
unless you copied it off a webpage somewhere... but go ahead
and surprise us... I repair PSU all the time so if you have
some great idea, I have a few dozen lying around and can
probably implement your idea.
I see, you advocate Flintstone technology, putting small
birds to work powering our devices.
Actually most refridgerators are required to have an energy
usage tag on them. You aren't old enough to have ever
shopped for a fridge though, so ask your mom about it.

Considering that most PCs are not on 24/7 and now come with
LCD monitors, it's fairly clear the fridge does.

Well thats just where you are wrong a typical fridge consumes
about 150kW a year, about 40 watts a day, your 450 watt
power supply is capable of supplying 11 times that, and that
excludes your monitor.
