We measure system drain at the socket via a calibrated meter – the monitor is not included in the final result.
We measure wattage when idle, then we load the processor with Cinebench. Finally we test with the combined test in 3DMark11, which loads both processor and graphics card.
When idle, the system consumes around 60 watts at the socket. When the i7 4770K is running at 100% load, this rises to 150 watts. When running the combined test in 3Dmark11, the system hits 307 watts peak. The 800W power supply is more than enough for this load and shows potential on hand if you ever wanted to upgrade the video card for instance.
That is a great system, good specification and well thought out – never heard of box before, but will be keeping my eye on them.
I love the case, my friend bought one and its very very quiet indeed. my own thermaltake chassis sounds like a helicopter. about time I invested a little cash into upgrading.
Its a good list of components for the price. I know a lot of people say you should build your own, but after you have done it a couple of times, it loses the charm. A lot of the good UK companies have guys now that can do it as well as myself. Box seem to be one of the handful I would trust.
this unit is just like fooling all the people that is interested in purchasing if you will ask me iwill never buy this unit it is still the best if you build your own unit and put all the best parts you know about computers…
