For ‘idle’ power draw, a reading was taken after having Windows open on the desktop for 30 minutes. A reading under load was taken with Prime 95’s SmallFFt test running alongside 3DMark Fire Strike.
The Fusion Hex is not overly power-hungry, drawing a comparable amount of power to other i7/GTX 1070 systems I have seen in the past. There would be room for a second GTX 1070 for SLI, but the B350 chipset does not support SLI anyway, only Crossfire.
I would point out, though, that the Cooler Master MasterWatt Lite 600W PSU is only 80+ White certified (or just 80+). Given that even 80+ Bronze PSUs now feel quite dated, I would have expected a unit with higher efficiency to be used in a rig like this.
Thanks for the review KitGuru! Just a couple of points in response to the points raised in the review:
1. We are working with Cooler Master to produce a sleeved variant of this PSU for this system
2. With Ryzen 5 being such a new platform we were very limited with memory options that correctly operated to specification on this platform. As the platform matures we will look to include black PCB memory with attractive heat spreaders at no additional cost :).
Thanks,

Oh my god is this THAT power supply? Someone actually chose to use it, I questioned this when Leo did his coverage of CeBIT, did someone actually go to the trouble of making a White rated PSU, is that really a PSU that does not even make Bronze efficiency rating?
This system appears to have corner cutting written all over it or someone got a job lot of parts from Cooler Master. If you are going to fill it with butt ugly components don’t put a huge window on the side, also don’t use a huge case then fill half of it, and leave the empty half bright red so it stands out even more. I’m not the biggest expert in the world but every review I have read has said pair a Ryzen Processor with as high a frequency RAM as you can, certainly not 2400mhz this minimises the lower resolution framerate loss due to the RAM bottleneck. Only use a mini GPU if you are short of space or its for a aesthetic reason.
Chillblast are normally so much better than this and produce some awesome computers, all I can think is they wanted something in reviewers hands for the launch of Ryzen R5, I hope they take a look at some of the issues…..or at least pick a case without a window as an option ; )
