dolphin..........................89w.............................................................................
a6 system off power is 3w with either psu, and for some reason peaks at 70w in the bios.
from memory the x3 system without the gpu idles at 42w(ar350) and 34w(pico).
the pico might have to go, 5w at idle is a smaller difference than i expected, the brick i'm using though doesn't even have an efficiency rating so a level v one would definitely help. emulation is too slow at 2.8ghz and i don't think the pico combo can handle it running undervolted and at 3.6ghz.
i'm not sure why the pico combo can't seem to do more than ~70w at the wall, but either the brick is crap or it's related to the picopsu-80s low 12v output rating.
i'm also thinking about undervolting the nb(if possible) and hoping it links to the gpu, cause as you can see it uses a big chunk of the overall power!
