AWD Ignis Aqua 290X 250D Mini ITX PC Review

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.
