We test power consumption at the socket with a calibrated meter under the following conditions.
1: when idle
2: under Cinebench load
3: running the 3Dmark 11 ‘combined test’
4: running Tomb Raider at Ultra HD 4K with ‘ultimate’ image quality settings.
The monitor is not included in the power draw – just the demand via the system power supply.
The system consumes 75 watts when idle. When gaming this can rise to 360 watts. AWD have selected an XFX 650W power supply for this system, so under full load, it will be running around 55% load – perfect for maximum efficiency.
That big bubble tho…
I think with the size (or lack there of) of this build; I’d be using 3/8″ tubing, to make sure there’s no chance of kinks forming along some of those tight bends.
Also; it looks to have a DDC pump, if that’s the case, how much airflow is it actually going to get before it overheats in that little corner of the chassis?
I do like the fact that the system comes with a custom loop instead of one of those (awful) AIO systems.
