System Power Consumption
The ECS GANK Drone Z87H3-A3X was sipping the power from the wall compared to our other Intel Z87 systems. At idle the Drone was pulling only 49 Watts while the ECS GANK Machine Z87H3-A2X Extreme was pulling nearly 31% more at 64 Watts. Loading up the Intel Core i7-4770K in AIDA64 our power draw increased to 126 Watts while the ECS Z87H3-A2X Extreme jumped to 145 Watts and the GIGABYTE G1.Sniper 5 jumped from 73 Watts at Idle to 163 Watts under load.
