Foxconn H67A-S Motherboard Review

Power ConsumptionTo 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 idle, the H67A-S sits comfortable in the middle of the other two boards whilst at load it produces the least amount of power draw at the wall, even though it’s the biggest board out of the three, giving expectations that it would use the most and the ITX board from Zotac would use the least, but funnily enough it’s the other way around.
