Assuming the numbers I posted earlier, yeah, the heat being generated by the HX1000 would be almost twice as much. 200W is a lot of heat, but it's not unheard of for PSUs. Back in the day when the average PSU was 70% efficient, drawing 500W from a PSU would require around 700W from the wall...

Haha, no joke! Somebody asked me on another forum once - "Well, if I get a more efficient PSU, will my room get colder? Because I use my system to heat my room in the winter." I laughed, I'd never thought of that. It works pretty well as a heater. The answer, of course, is no, not...

Hah, nice! But like some others pointed out, that's measuring input from the wall, not PSU output. Here's the efficiency curve of the HX1000W. Notice at 100% load, it's about 83% efficient? Just for fun, let's take the 1163W input and multiply times .83. That'd give us about 965W...
