Power Consumption

Power Consumption

To measure power consumption we use a killawatt meter and measure the total system power draw at the wall. We run three different use-case scenarios for 5 minutes and take the average reading.

Here we see the power consumption nestled nicely in the middle of the pack. Generally with ITX packages we would assume lower power consumption. With this package however, it seems the extra power requirement has paid off in overall higher performance.
