Method for making power supplies smaller and more efficient for high-power PCs
Systems and methods for reducing the size of a power supply in a computing device by monitoring activities to maintain the load on the power supply below a predetermined threshold. Through a set of software drivers, various components are placed into low power states in order to reduce the load on the power supply. The methods allow manufacturers to utilize smaller power supplies that are better fitted for the actual operating conditions of the computing device, rather than a large power supply designed for worst case conditions.
