NZXT N5 Z690 Motherboard Review

Power Consumption

At idle, this board was the least power hungry that we’ve tested. It was sipping power from the wall whilst others were far ahead of it, getting close to doubling the power consumption whilst doing nothing.

We previously had an issue with testing the power consumption under load on this board and the N7, we were getting results far higher than we would expect from these boards. Once we had flashed a new BIOS onto the board, we saw a significant improvement in the power draw. Now with these improved results, we can see that the N5 actually performs very well here; falling below the majority of the other boards, this could easily fit comfortably within a professional’s PC.
