Gigabyte G1.Sniper M5 (Z87) Motherboard 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 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.

Lastly, taking a look at power we can see for a small form factor board, it actually uses quite a lot more power than we expected at load, but idle is still relatively low due to its design.
