Gigabyte G1.Sniper 5 (Z87) 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.

 As the G1.Sniper 5 is one of the most feature rich boards we’ve tested, we assumed that power would be on the higher-end of the scale, but still nothing too out of the ordinary. When overclocking, we had to increase voltages for stability and that is why there is a sudden increase, mainly at load to 325Watts.
