If this is the one you mean: http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=AK800&cat=PWR
it looks fecal to me. I doubt it's good for anywhere near 800W, and is inefficient.

why would it be inefficient i want to know if its eup ready or not

^ Wahh????

That is a no name brand PSU, I wouldn't trust my hardware on it. Get a quality unit from Seasonic, Antec, OCZ, Corsair, PC power & Cooling, or XFX.

EUP isnt a common certification for PSU's to get, its a pretty recent one, the only one i have seen it on was the Antec HCP 1200 jonnyguru reviewed, and on its own is pretty meaningless. Why you are using that as your determining factor im not sure. As Shadow said, just pick up a good quality unit from Seasonic, Antec, Corsair, or XFX and you really dont need to worry if its marked EUP or not, it still would have passed easily it just wasted tested for it.
