Hello Pioneerisloud,
I absolutely understand where you are coming from on this. The problem I see with a "low overhead" approach, is that, while 90% of people will never use the machine in a way that would present a problem, there are about 10% of us, who will stress test just for the sake of stress testing, and effectively hit peak theoretical power consumption. I'm sure the little 430W did great in that time you were using the machine, but I suspect if you had gone out of your way (as some enthusiasts will) during that time, to max out every component in the machine, for the sake of a "stress test," the 430W unit would likely have gone into protection or smoked or something. (right?)
Regards,
Eric
