I got a CX430 for a project last week and I'm getting some strange readings from my "kill-a-watt" meter. In standby, either installed in the system or unplugged, the PSU draws 25 W. Stranger still, when you flip the switch on the back powering it off, the PSU still consumes about 15 W (fluctuating between 13 and 16 actually).
The kill-a-watt meter seems quite accurate on other PSUs, bulbs, monitors and what have you. I have an older HX520 PSU that consumes 9 W installed and in standby.
Any ideas?
