This video was filmed at Corsair's lab just before our Newegg trip, featuring Jon Gerow of power supply R&D at Corsair (GN paid all travel expenses for itself). We talked about power supply tier lists, problems with standardizing modular cables, marketing BS about fans, full bridge rectifiers, 80 Plus Certification, and more. This is an educational piece that should help everyone learn more about power supplies for computers, including how to find the best PSUs in 2022 (and onward) and what specs are best for a power supply for a PC build.
