aren't those pico psus supposed to be pretty efficient?

Supposedly they are.
I'm running my e-waste server with 15 y/o Dell PSU, that thing pulls 12W just being hot jumped with paperclip and no load so I hope this chink one will lower power draw.

can't beat the form factor, even if it draws a few more watts than a platinum rated one
what are you gonna use it with it?

check the psu with some load, they are not efficient with no load and the efficiency rating is usually given at 20,50,100% load.

I would get a regular 12V Pico PSU
Wide input adds another conversion layer.

The problem is some systems literally don't pull enough to get out if the gutter in PSU efficiency.
Sub 2% loading on many PSUs is 60%.
For a 500w power supply that's 10W of draw.
Sub-10w of idle draw is achievable on many systems and puts your PSU in the gutter.

I personally dropped 10w from a system going from a rather old SFX system to a pico PSU, from 33w to 23w.

Do you use those with GaN PSUs? How efficient is regular laptop psu when idle (have you tested)?

>Sub-10w of idle draw is achievable on many systems
Even on AMD?
