We used a calibrated meter to measure the power at the wall. No monitors were factored into the readings. The system power drain was measured in the following states:
Idle: when resting at the desktop.
Gaming Load: running the ‘combined’ test in 3dMark 11. Processor and graphics card are stressed.
The Wired2Fire Diablo Predator System doesn't require a lot of power at the socket. At idle it demands around 76watts. This rises to around 225 watts under gaming load.
Its nothing special really. seems to be well routed and a nice build, but its rather dull IMO.
Good selection of components throughout, shame about the case though, I hate xigmatek fans, they are always so loud. I had to replace several for a friend as they made such a racket. I would have prefered to see a corsair case and cooler rather than xigmatek. forget the monitor. hopefully they allow some adaptions of the core build with better cooling, lower noise.
