Power Consumption
To test power consumption, we monitor the overall power of the system through a plug-in electricity usage monitor at an idle and load state. This allows us to show the fluctuation between how much power draw the system takes at idle and at load. By monitoring the overall usage of the whole system, it gives an easy comparison if you wish to do the same yourself as opposed to buying very expensive individual testing equipment.
These boards are power focussed and we see that across the various boards though the ASRock does require a little bit more juice to keep going at both idle and load. The overclock however doesn’t increase numbers by to much which is great for those still wishing to save a bit of power, while increasing their performance at the same time.
