Power Consumption
Power consumption is measured at idle, during a Cinebench R23 run and during a gaming benchmark run of Cyberpunk 2077, which is a very CPU-intensive game. By getting 3 performance metrics, it allows us to see a better picture of the average user and what they are typically going to see in terms of power draw for just the processor itself.
The VRM configuration and twin 8-pin CPU connectors would lead you to think this board soaks up the juice, but honestly, it’s surprisingly efficient, which is only a further nod to how well it has been designed and manufactured.
