PC Specialist ‘Vanquish 230XT’ Gaming System 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 graphics card 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.

By dropping down to a 4670k and using a mid-range R9 280X, the Vanquish is a lot more conservative in its power draw. Topping out at just over 350Watts under load and just under 100W idle, there are not only savings to be made when buying the system – the running costs are going to be lower as well.
