We measure power consumption at the socket via a calibrated meter – system wide. The monitor is not included in the draw.
Power results were measured at idle and when loading the system in the final ‘combined’ test in 3DMark 11.
The system consumes around 100 watts at idle. Under gaming load this rises to around 300 watts.
Well I love PCSPECIALIST too, but this is better than anything ive seen from them this year. have they a new system builder team in there? my mate has an OCUK from 2 years ago and its a POS.
Well im not a fan of prebuilts either, but this is as good as I could build myself. better if I was being honest. shame they dont offer the 4770k, id like the four extra cores
I still think you could spec a system like this for a few hundred less. still, nice build.
Haven’t ordered from OCUK in years. just built my own system. Have to chip in with a vote of ‘good build’ too.
I noticed the motherboard immediately, gettign sick seeing asus boards recently on kitguru, so nice move from OCUK.
That corsair case is great, my friend bought from scan a while ago, its tiny, cant tell that from the pictures. very portable and light, but well built.
They make great products, good to see the PSU, cooler, case etc, are all corsair. Is the PSU ok? never seen that model before.
Still prefer the 3570k or 3770k, they could have got it to 4.8ghz easy with that cooler. No need for integrated graphics with a GTX770.
Intel are sucking this generation.
