No, youre right. A PSUs wattage is the converted output, and depending on the efficiency rating it will draw a different amount of juice from the socket. A Gold rated PSU will have a 12% spill at 100% capacity. So when you are pulling roughly 850W from the wall you would be at its max delivery. I would however not suggest you do this, i would pull the brakes when the killawat reads just above 750W which would put you at roughly 90%... which is fairly high as well.

Yes, this is what I'm finding to be the truth as well. The other people on here don't actually know what they're talking about and are applying a PDU rule to a PSU.
