Efficiency Tiers at Randburg Electricity Rates

80+ Gold vs 80+ Platinum for a Randburg gamer running 300 hours/year at 500W average draw:

  • Gold (91% efficient): 500W / 0.91 = 549W from wall = 164.7kWh/year = ~R412/year
  • Platinum (94% efficient): 500W / 0.94 = 532W from wall = 159.6kWh/year = ~R399/year

The Platinum premium (~R800–R1,300 over Gold) takes 60–100 years to break even on electricity savings for a gaming-only use case.

FAQ

What 1000W PSU model is most reliably in stock for Randburg buyers?

The Corsair RM1000x 2023 is the most consistently available 1000W PSU at Evetech for Randburg buyers. Corsair's SA distribution volume ensures rapid restocking after sell-outs. The Seasonic Focus GX-1000 is the alternative when RM1000x sells through.

Is the MSI MEG Ai1000P worth R1,000 more than the Corsair RM1000x for Randburg builds?

The MSI MEG Ai1000P adds 80+ Platinum efficiency and an LCD display showing power draw and efficiency in real-time — useful for workstation builds. For gaming-only use, the Corsair RM1000x at ~R4,200 delivers essentially identical performance without the LCD premium. The MEG is worth the extra for serious remote-worker or content-creation builds.

How do I check if my preferred 1000W PSU is in stock for Randburg delivery?

Visit Evetech's website and navigate to the PSU category — each product page shows real-time stock status. For Randburg delivery, any 'In Stock' item ships within 1–2 business days via Gauteng courier networks. If your preferred model shows 'Out of Stock', the alternative models in the shortlist above are functionally equivalent substitutes.

TIP

Randburg build pairing a 1000W PSU with an RTX 4090 or RTX 5090, use the PSU's native 16-pin cable (not the 3x8-pin adapter if your PSU includes one) — the native cable is rated for the full 600W peak load and designed to the 12V-2x6 retention spec, reducing connector failure risk.
