System Power Consumption
Since power consumption is a big deal these days, we ran some simple power consumption tests on our test beds. The systems ran with the power supplies, case fans, video cards and hard drives. To measure idle usage, we ran the system at idle for one hour on the desktop with no screen saver and took the measurement. For load measurements, Prime95's in-place large FFT's was run on all cores to make sure each and every processor was at 100% load for maximum power consumption and heat. We also ran Furmark 1.8 at 1280x1024 to put a full load on the graphics card. All systems were tested using identical hardware.
The power consumption of the GIGABYTE 880GMA-UD2H system board falls between the pair of 890FX boards that we looked at today. Running Furmark 1.82 and Prime 95 large FFT's placed both the CPU and GPU at full load and gave us a maximum power draw at the wall of 441 Watts. This is 20 Watts lower than the MSI 890FXA-GD70 and 16 Watts higher than the ASUS Crosshair IV Formula. Idle power consumption was slightly lower with the GIGABYTE 880GMA-UD2H than the other boards today.
