TEMPERATURE & POWER CONSUMPTION
We check to see how motherboard makers tune their default BIOS settings and see how it impacts temperatures and power consumption. The system is left to idle for 30 minutes before readings are taken and load data is taken 30 minutes while Prime95 blend test is running. Power readings are taken for the entire system from the socket.
At a glance: Temps are looking good but nothing really outstanding. Power draw does look a bit higher than we’ve expected but it still sits at the lower end of the spectrum. Our processor has an average OC of 4.6Ghz and that seemed to be the ceiling for our board as we tried pushing it past with a bit of BCLK tweak.
