I know you get an efficiency boost over there, but I don't think that accounts for the 2.5-5% efficiency increase shown in this review vs others I've seen. Makes me wonder if they made revisions or if there's a lot of unit variation. Initial reviews made the Enermax units look barely better than gold.

check Chiphell's review about this unit with 230VAC (95.22% peak efficiency). My readings are closer to earth (real) levels. Also do not compare other review's results with 115VAC power input. Efficiency at higher loads with 230VAC is better especially for high capacity units.

Finally via my custom software I monitor all efficiency readings during a specific test and take the average and not just a random value (and my power meter is among the best at sub $1000 range).
