Another machine with a few different parts but somewhat similar to the previous Skylake power consumption test I did.
System specs: i5-6600, Asus B150M-A, 2x8GB DDR4, 1x240GB Intel 535 SSD, 1xWD Blue 1TB, 1xLiteOn DVD-RW, Antec TPC 550W, Coolermaster Silencio 352. Power measurements were made from the wall (240V AC) with a PowerMate Lite.
| Machine State | Consumption (W) | VA | PFC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Off | 1.5 W | 16.2 | 0.092 |
| Idle | 30 W | 45.9 | 0.65 |
| Prime 95 (Large FFTs, 4 threads) | 108 W | 115 | 0.939 |
The above values are typical. Peak recorded draw was 119.5W. Maximum temperature hit was 80°C. During Prime95 the core frequency fluctuated between 3389 MHz and 3491 MHz.
Not sure why the power usage was so much more than the 6500 system. I guess the combination of faster CPU, different motherboard, extra RAM, fan and SATA drives (even though they were at idle) and warmer "silent" case all contributed to the increase.
Was there any CPU cooler? If yes, which?
ReplyDeleteIt was using the stock cooler.
