You forgot all real world tests. No-one is buying these to run benchmarks..
Thanks for the feedback. What real-world tests would you have like to have seen?
max power draw for the i7 is about 315w for the whole system? and you use a 1000w power supply, which is then 30% used and therefore out of its efficient operating zone. Could save money by using a smaller power supply also.
