Idle Voltage and Power Readings
Voltage readings taken from ADIA64
- +12V : 12.355V
- +5V : 5.136V
- +3V : 3.344V
Power consumption at idle was around 111.5W, which is what I expected from all of the devices listed in the test rig.
Load Voltage and Power Readings
Voltage readings taken from ADIA64
- +12V : 12.250V (-0.105V)
- +5V : 5.088V (-0.048V)
- +3V : 3.296V (-0.048V)
Now this is where it gets interesting. At full load for both CPU and GPU, the system is drawing a lot of power, and you can see that the voltages have dropped slightly. This is expected. What you’re looking for is to make sure that the +12V reading don’t drop to below 11.5V. If it does, then the system may become unstable.
In this case, the Thermaltake Smart Pro RGB 850W is holding up well at 12.250V
Power consumption at full load peaked to 325.5W. Looks normal, since we have an overclocked Intel Core i7-6800K @ 4.0GHz, and a GeForce GTX 1070 … both at full load.
Just to let you know that the power consumption will increase further, if you add an additional GeForce GTX 1070 (in SLI mode) or if you overclock your CPU higher.
