power brick has been redesigned decently it only sucks that much power
when it's at idle and has been turned on for awhile. The kick-on rate's far
higher and when it's in read or constant-read mode in an intensive game
it's suckin a whole lot more juice.
This was why the intercooler stuff that tapped straight off the power input
on the back of the 360 had so many issues - it was adding to a very high
existing load and either browning out the 360 or the bricks were
overcompensating
and causing the cheap plastic POS's to take a dive instead. Thus the varying
reports, might've been generations of power bricks where the newer the less
problematic than earlier models.
My #'s came straight off the labels on these puppies, but of course we
don't use any Elites if that has an effect.
