A company called Cybenetics has its own set of PSU certifications that are more comprehensive than 80 Plus.
The former is derived from the Greek letter , which represents efficiency.
The latter is also derived from a Greek letter, .
Naturally, the higher the percentage, the better.
The certification includes five efficiency certifications: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Titanium, and Diamond.
The table below details each certificate at a 115V input.
The maximum noise levels for each of the seven noise tiers are shown below.
Well, the obvious answer is that with Cybenetics certifications, you get information concerning both efficiency and noise.
Last but not least, I also recommend asking members ofr/buildapcfor their opinions about the PSU youre eyeing.
