Power consumption on motherboards is important because it affects the stability and performance of the system, especially when overclocking or using high-end components. The power consumption of a motherboard depends on its features, the type of voltage regulator, integrated chipsets and modules, and BIOS power-saving features. More extreme VRM designs and increased levels of connectivity on a motherboard are likely to result in higher power draw. Still, we want to test that no board draws unreasonable power levels for its respective class. Typically a lower power draw is ideal for most users, but is still expected to be higher on gaming boards vs budget ones, and higher still on overclocking-focused motherboards.
