Benchmark Scores Nyooom.
A simple collection from people with wall meters, so we can collect data on how much power our PC's actually use and compete for power efficient systems (because i think i'll win ;) )

These stats should be for tower alone, not monitor, speakers etc.

simply run Wprimes 1024M test (run as admin!) and 3dmark11's "performance" test while watching your power meter, and report the results. divide your 3dmark score by the maximum wattage you saw for your power efficiency score. (for reference i'm getting the higest wattage numbers in 3dmarks test 1 in my systems, so i'm focusing on the highest number i get there)

its a multi threaded CPU benchmark. for now its just 'how much power does your CPU use' as opposed to 3dmarks 'cpu and gpu' result. i'll end up adding something like watts over time (300 seconds + 200W = 60,000 joules of energy used) to determine who has the most power efficient CPU, but i'll have to double check my math on that one after work before i add it in.

i also feel like saying that my meter can actually measure power factor efficiency under a setting called "PF", and it matches up with the numbers you'd expect from PSU's. i see 90+ from my corsairs, and an average of 65% from cheap shite with passive PFC (see my coolermaster PSU in the chart)


if other peoples PSU's/UPS's have a similar reading, i'll add it into the chart.

go buy one off ebay. my goal here truly is to make people compete for power efficient desktops, instead of this race for max MHz.

Mussells, thats pretty awesome power efficiency for a 7970 and a powerful cpu! Just shows modern cpu/gpu scalability. If I still had my xeon I'd probably wreck you guys, 3.5 ghz at .8v full load! Don't have a wall meter though :(

Updated post. Had fans turned up which coursed a 3-4w difference haha.


By maxing the pwm fans out in bios you can set the ASRock extreme tuner fan speeds to 0 andf they will speed up if temps get higher
