Cyberpower PC ‘Ultra Fusion’ AMD Gaming System Review

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 graphics card 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.

Rock bottom figures are not something that we would expect from a pure AMD system, however we do in fact get a respectable idle consumption of 77W at the wall from the FX-9590 and the R9 290X. At full load the consumption is also respectable with below 400W recorded during our use of the system.
