You can reduce your fan speed to save some watts, no need to run the fans at 100% constantly. I see a GPU at 58c and still at 100% fan speed. That is overkill.

Not so bad .

The 850 has a review on jonnyguru.com

It does 82% to 84 %

So what is it running on the setup?

If it runs the mobo and the CPU it is not using much power.

But if it is doing that and a gpu it is using maybe 300 of the 1180 watts.

Which means a loss of 30 watts.

Please tell me if I'm getting good efficiency:  
  
I'm using two PSU's, one is titanium and one is just "80plus" (Corsair ax1200i , old Corsair tx850w)

four 480's, two 470's

I'm getting these speeds with 1180W at the wall:  
  



is that decent or do I need to swap out that old PSU?
