Gigabyte Z170-Gaming K3 (LGA1151) Motherboard Review

Power Consumption


At stock values, the test bench when equipped with the Gigabyte Z170-Gaming K3 consumes 342 watts under extreme load. This is fairly low compared to a large number of previously tested motherboards. On another note, idle wattage is good and makes for a really efficient custom build.

When overclocked, the wattage demands increase exponentially and recorded one of the highest power draws thus far. Although the economic impact between these results is very small and not a major factor when building a high-end system.
