PC Specialist Vanquish 670XM Gaming System Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell October 11, 2012 Featured Tech Reviews, Gaming PC

We used a calibrated meter to measure the power at the wall. No monitors were factored into the readings. The system power drain was measured in the following states:

Idle: when resting at the desktop.
load: when primed with Cinebench R11.5 64 bit. Only the processor is stressed.
Gaming Load: running the ‘combined’ test in 3dMark 11. Processor and graphics card are stressed.

This system is very efficient, demanding around 250 watts when gaming, and 160 watts when the overclocked processor is tasked to 100% on all cores. When idle, the power consumption drops to 83 watts.

    Good build, impressed with the spec too, nothing ‘weak’ in it that seems to be them just clearing stock to ill informed customers

    Cooler Master cases do use good fans, its a point that I liked to see being made. It sounds like such a minor thing to bring up, but I bought a Xigmatek case last year or 18 months ago and I had to replace all the fans in it. Some companies just buy the cheapest fans possible and try to maximise their profit. Long term it just doesnt work.
