System Specs

Thanks for the review

There is one thing I'd like to know, for the power consumption, What program you did to have full system load? and full system has been taken with what? as a full system, I do think that 100w if kinda low... My rig, at idle, with the HD6950 (1x), would be about 70-80w at idle, 2 hard drive and 1 SSD, and this has been taken at the wall, with the Kill-a-watt (by the way, my UPS does also give the same wattage or so).

Thanks if you can answer

BTW, AMD has some good performance, on some other review, games aren't that better, still alot behind Intel is alot of games, but multi-thread it is quite good (single thread, Intel seems to be faster). Theses CPU are workstation/servers at best, I would still use Intel for low power/performance as desktop.
