When people are more and more sensitive about energy saving, 80PLUS® becomes a must for general systems. As the prices for electricity are ever increasing, users expect more for energy-efficient PCs. Energy Star 5.0 can be the answer for those PC & IPC industries seeking solutions to consumer concerns for residential prices of electricity.
An Energy Star 5.0 system requires not only 80PLUS® Bronze standard efficiency on 20%, 50% and 100% loads and a true power factor >0.9, but as well, energy consumption reductions for standby, sleep and idle modes. (Please refer to table below). In other words, Energy Star 5.0 is a total 'Green PC technology' that helps the user save electricity at all time.

In addition, higher efficiency in full operations and non-operational modes means lower heat accumulation and dissipation into the surrounding environment that means less energy is needed to cool the environment. As well, lower heat translates into longer product lifetime and thereby increases savings and reduces waste both material and financial. This shows another environment-friendly advantage of an Energy Star 5.0 ready system. We strongly believe Energy Star 5.0 will play a more and more important role in a user's daily life.
