I was thinking of doing a build similar to this. Do you have a Kill-a-watt meter? What is the power consumption of this build at idle? Thanks!

Thanks for the info audigy32. How do you disable C6 and SpeedStep? Is there a link you can post? I googled for it but I didn't find anything. Thanks.

I thought I would share post my power consumption numbers. I received the Cooler Master V550S PSU. Prior to this I had a Seasonic S12-500 PSU. My hardware is... Intel DH77KC Mainboard Intet i7 3770K CPU 16 GB (4x4GB) RAM AMD 7750 GPU Seagate 1TB HDD Intel 320 240GB SSD Crucial mSATA m4 240GB SSD Pio...

What's interesting to me is how much more power efficient the refrence card is compared to the same cards manufactured by other vendors such as Asus, Palit, and MSI. The reference card idles at 4 watts, the other cards idle at anywhere from 6-10 watts. Under load they also draw more power. Is it pos...

Ah, that explains it. I was searching for the V450S only. Thanks for the link.

Thanks for the links everyone. During my research I found these... Kingwin LZP 550 45 PSU tested at low load I was leaning toward the Kingwin, but that Cooler Master tops the Kingwin in terms of efficiency. In fact, I don't think I've seen numbers that good. As you pointed out, that is at 230V. Do y...

@flemeister Just thought I'd post an update. I ordered a DH77KC. Also, I had a DH77DF on hand from my HTPC. I tested both these boards head to head using the following hardware... Intel i7 3770K 8 GB (2 4gb sticks) Corsair Vengence DDR3 1333 RAM SeaSonic S12-500 500W ATX12V PSU Seagate Barracuda 720...

I have the opportunity to get the Intel DH77KC cheap so I was wondering if someone could post the power consumption for this board (along with relevant peripherals such as PSU, RAM, CPU, GPU cards that their build has). I know that Intel boards are very efficient but most of the power consumption st...

I was expecting a difference too. I did notice that the power brick that came with the Antec case had an efficiency level of V, it is made by a company called Delta Electronics. The MeanWell also had a the same efficiency rating, so I'm guessing that these two power bricks are similar in performance...

Okay, time for an update.... I got the MeanWell power supply (12V 80W 6.6A) and the picopsu-90-XLP. I removed the stock Antec power supply and installed these and the power consumption was EXACTLY the same. I noticed no significant difference between the stock Antec and the picopsu-90-XLP/MeanWell c...

Got it. Thanks! I'll post the results as soon as it arrives.

I kinda hesitated and almost didn't find the picoPSU 90XLP, at first i tried calling MCS (ebay link) to see if he were willing to sell it without the brick, but told me that he just ran out today and no longer on stock. So i call mini-box and they said they are not re stocking the XLP out of being ...

I ordered the picoPSU-90-XLP from ebay and the 80 watt MeanWell adapter you linked to. I'll post the power results as soon as I get them.

Thanks for looking into that for me. I'll probably be looking to get a picopsu soon. I'm not sure if I'll go EDAC or MeanWell. Whichever way I go I'll be sure to post back my power consumption. Thanks again!

Thanks for the reply Abula. Yes, this is a hobby for me. As for the numbers on my board, I posted them on the first page of this thread , my post is somewhere at the bottom (I don't know how to link to it specifically). I get about 18.4 watts at idle, but this board allows me to undervolt the RAM an...

I have the following build Intel DH77DF motherboard Intel Celeron G1620 CPU 1 stick of 2GB Crucial DDR3-1333 RAM 1 TB Western Digital Hard drive Antec ISK 110 case, with stock power supply and power brick The power consumption is low (about 18.4 watts), but I would like to try a picoPSU.

I thought I'd post here because this thread keeps coming up in my google searches when I look for power consumption numbers for the DH77DF. I recently purchased the DH77DF in order to make a media center PC what will run OpenELEC. Here is my setup... Hardware: Antec ISK 110 VESA case - Power supply ...
