All ASUS Motherboards Meet Stringent New California Energy Commission Standards
ASUS today announced that its motherboards meet ambitious energy-efficiency standards laid down by the California Energy Commission (CEC), and due to come into force on January 1, 2019.
From this date, most new computers, monitors and signage displays sold or offered for sale in California must adhere to strict new power-consumption standards, with the aim of reducing energy use across the state and ultimately nationally. The regulations are expected to result in energy savings of up to 2,332 GWh annually, and reduce the cost of utility bills by up to US $373 million.
Under the new regulations motherboards are classed as computers. All existing and new ASUS and ASUS ROG motherboards will meet the CEC's tier-one specification for typical energy use (TEC) for computers.

We can thank them for lead free solder...
statesocialist utilities in favor of local utilities that don't shoot themselves in the foot: www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-03/california-warns-of-a-second-energy-crisis-as-customers-defectEnergy consumption is of as much interest when going for a mainboard as is the inner color of an exhaust system when buying a car.
This is the part that bothers me:
"From this date, most new computers, monitors and signage displays sold or offered for sale in California must adhere to strict new power-consumption standards, with the aim of reducing energy use across the state and ultimately nationally. "
So I guess Kommifornia is now up to dictating the energy policies of the entire nation by hook, crook or whatever.
No wondering here why the place is called "Shake-N-Bake USA" - Someone is trying to get their attention.... Or else.
And I guess the "Or else" will be it because they never learn nor care to.
