  2. 80 Plus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/80_Plus

    However, 80 Plus supplies may still be less than 80% efficient at lower loads. For instance, an 80 Plus, 520 watt supply could still be 70% or less efficient at 60 watts (a typical idle power for a desktop computer). [13] Thus it is still important to select a supply with capacity appropriate to the device being powered.

  3. Hardware stress test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_stress_test

    Reliability engineers often test items under expected stress or even under accelerated stress in order to determine the operating life of the item or to determine modes of failure. [ 1 ] The term stress test as it relates to hardware (including electronics, physical devices, nuclear power plants, etc.) is likely to have different refined ...

  4. Annualized failure rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annualized_failure_rate

    For example, AFR is used to characterize the reliability of hard disk drives.. The relationship between AFR and MTBF (in hours) is: [1] = (/) This equation assumes that the device or component is powered on for the full 8766 hours of a year, and gives the estimated fraction of an original sample of devices or components that will fail in one year, or, equivalently, 1 − AFR is the fraction of ...

    The Windows System Assessment Tool (WinSAT) is a module of Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows 11 that is available in the Control Panel under Performance Information and Tools (except in Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows 11).

  7. Power supply unit (computer) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply_unit_(computer)

    The desktop computer power supply converts the alternating current (AC) from a wall socket of mains electricity to a low-voltage direct current (DC) to operate the motherboard, processor and peripheral devices. Several direct-current voltages are required, and they must be regulated with some accuracy to provide stable operation of the computer.
