December 3, 200619 yr comment_135395 It depends on the size of the PSU. Anything under 1 amp and a switch mode is wasted, but over 1 amp linear psu's tend to run hot and heat is a killer. Watch out for poor switch mode psu's as they can be very noisy (high frequency noise), this is not easily detected without an oscilloscope and can lead to all sorts of problems.
