| You may not give much thought to the power supply in your computer, but the quality of its power conversion output is an important consideration when it comes to energy efficiency. The United States Environmental Protection Agency's ENERGY STAR® guidelines are instrumental in driving requirements for energy efficiency. The ENERGY STAR® specification requires a minimum power supply efficiency rating, which means you need to give your power supply a second look. HP offers outstanding industry leading high efficiency power supplies on many of its Business Desktop PCs. |

What are the benefits of an energy efficient power supply? |
| An HP energy efficient power supply offers a range of potential rewards which benefit you financially while helping the environment by reducing your overall power consumption: |
|
| |
• |
Increased power supply reliability due to greater efficiency |
| |
• |
Decreased system maintenance due to increased reliability |
| |
• |
Lower TCO due to lower electricity usage, reduced maintenance and longer equipment life |
| |
• |
Potential reduction in cooling bill due to less heat being generated by PCs |
|

How is an energy efficient power supply different from a standard power supply? |
| HP standard PC power supplies are rated between 65% - 75% in terms of their energy efficiency. This means that between 25% and 35% of the electrical energy which goes into the power supply is lost in the AC to DC power conversion process. You still pay for this lost energy, but it never finds its way to your PC components. HP energy efficient power supplies are designed specifically to be more efficient at converting the power needed by your PC into usable energy. |
|
| A .9 PFC means that 90% of apparent power is actually transferred to available real power. Power supplies that aren't power factor corrected tend to have variations in AC voltage that can affect other equipment on the same circuit. |
