jagec said that over at anantech http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview ... erthread=yPower Factor Correction makes the utilities companies happy, but it certainly doesn't SAVE you energy. Industries get billed by power factor, but home users only get billed by KWH, so power factor correction doesn't help you.
Actually, active power factor correction will COST you more, since it sucks a bit of power to fix the signal.

It's still a very nice PSU, but I just thought I'd clear up the misconceptions about power factors
how much more would it cost upgrading to a seasonic if this is true?
