We measured the power consumption of our entire test system at the wall while loading the CPU using Prime95 and GPU using FurMark. We recorded results with the system at reference clock speeds and when overclocked to 4.7 GHz.
Some rather high numbers in the power consumption test but this is to be expected from a X79 system, especially when overclocked to these limits.
ALso I think their bioses are getting better. those preoverclocked settings are genius and a huge lifesaver for less experienced users.
great design, still very expensive, but they seem to be targeting ASUS with these boards IMO. getting a good rep now.
where’s the 2nd 8-pin power connector? typo?
Hi Sean, Thanks for pointing that out i’ve amended the review accordingly.
Cheers 🙂
