ASUS Prime Z790-A WiFi Motherboard Review

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.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
