Asus F2A55-M LK (A55) 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.

At stock, we see the performance below every other board at load and one of the lowest at idle as we expect. Overclocked to 4.4GHz we see both these numbers jump slightly, but nothing out of the ordinary and still remain fairly low numbers.
