Power Consumption
To measure power consumption we use a killawatt meter and measure the total system power draw at the wall. We run two different use-case scenarios for 5 minutes and take the average reading. The first scenario is a desktop idle state with the minimum number of programs running as possible, the second is AIDA 64’s System Stability Test with CPU, FPU, cache system memory and GPU options selected: this simulates a heavy & intensive full system load.
Power consumption was towards the higher end of the X99 motherboard stack we tested: probably due to all of the extras the system has to power: a trio of USB 3.0 controllers, the integrated WiFi/Bluetooth module, dual LAN controllers and so on. Disabling any unneeded controllers within the BIOS will reduce power consumption slightly.
