We measured the power consumption of our entire test system at the wall while loading the CPU using Prime95's Small FFTs setting and GPU using FurMark. We also measured the power consumption with the system resting at the Windows 7 desktop. As this is a gaming system, we also decided to measure the power consumption while playing Battlefield 3.
Idle power consumption will please environmentally-friendly users such as myself. With an increased load comes amplified power draw. We did register a peak rating of 400W being drawn from the wall, but that was only for a split-second.
On the bright side, Xigmatek's 80 Plus Bronze Centauro 700W PSU will be operating at peak efficiency when tasked with the gaming and load power draws.
One of my drive bays snapped too 🙁
Nice selection of components. those graphics cards are wicked. nice selection. Id still rather build one myself however, even if it cost more. Good option for the punters who dont want to build their own.
Can you ever go wrong with a Corsair H100 at the heart of a system? im shocked they set the profile to the top however, its really very loud at that setting and I wouldnt use it. the middle option is my choice. it varies but doesnt quite hit the same speeds.
I work for a competitor. All I can say if that’s the best cable management you’ve seen, you haven’t seen ours. Also we ship that particular case with a full system inside and have never had one arrive at our customers damaged in such a way.
