Power consumption at 3700x capacity while idle
Power consumption at 3700x capacity while idle
Perhaps reviewing the initial message helps. He noted a 3950x running at 55 watts in the final paragraph. No matter what XT is, it won't clarify why a 3900xt uses 50 watts less than a 3700x.
CBR20 measures CPU performance without overloading the whole system. The 336W was mainly from the 10900K alone, honestly.
Turn the monitors back on to see how the system performs. That’s a bit confusing. The chipset is 15 watts at full load. Each 8GB chip uses 1.2 volts and runs at 2133 MHz, consuming about 3 watts while active. You can track the CPU with HWInfo64 and monitor the GPU power via the Gpu-z tab. Estimate your fans and drives, and you’ll have a clear picture. What do these numbers suggest overall? (rough idea)
