The ULTIMATE AMD X670E Motherboard Roundup Review

System Power Consumption

Another area I was keen to look at comes down to total system power consumption, as each result only has one changing variable which is the board itself, so it’s easy to see what kind of difference it can make when choosing what board is right for you.

As expected, at idle, the mini-ITX board uses the least amount of power with our system sitting at 78 Watts, while the Crosshair Extreme system used the most at 121 Watts idle. As we put the systems through a Prime95 run, the Crosshair stays at the top of our stack at 291 Watts, while the E Gaming comes in the most efficient at 271 Watts. Typically speaking, the higher-end boards do require more power, though Gigabyte’s AORUS boards stand out here as they actually use around 10 to 15 Watts less power compared to the competition.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), 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!
