MSI MPG B760I EDGE WIFI DDR5 Motherboard Review

Operating Costs

With the cost of living increases across the world, especially when it comes to the cost of electricity, it’s worth looking at the cost of running a processor and how it compares to similar products on the market. By taking the average cost per kWh, we can calculate a rough running cost at idle, during a simulated workload test (Cinebench R23), to give us worst-case scenario costs, as well as gaming costs during a run of Cinebench R23.

US Dollars (USD)

British Pound (GBP)

It’s certainly not an expensive motherboard to run, overall average efficiency unsurprisingly does relate to fairly average operating costs. The idle is a little higher still, but again, it’s nothing I’m concerned about as these are good results overall.

As a child in my 40's, 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!
