Somewhat unrelated but these high efficiency supplies get me thinking just how much does input power affect efficiency? The average socket output in the US can vary quite a bit. I've seen as low as 114v and mine personally runs at 125v. Does this add or subtract a bit of efficiency? If so then what are these units run on when they're being rated? 120v?

115V - 230V efficiency difference is 1-1.5% in favor of the latter. 110V - 125V efficiency difference I suppose is too small in favor of 125V.

80 Plus to the best of my knowledge tests at 115V, the nominal voltage of the US power grid.
