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.
Power draw and usage is a big selling point for the new range of FM2 based APU products and this shows with our figures above. The Asus board, while using the most power, still only uses a maximum of 239 Watts at stock and 258 Watts when overclocked which is fantastic compared to other products from the likes of Intel.
