jbuszkie Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I just took out my apg video card and put in the dirt cheap pci radeon and my power dropped almost 25 watts! I was hoping for about 10 watts! I was surprised to say the least! Link to comment
jbuszkie Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 My slightly more efficient PS (replacement - first died) should come in tomorrow. That will be another7-8 watts. (That's what I noticed when I swapped it out the first time before it died) Maybe I won't have to switch to a new MB yet. If I still get ~70 watts with the drives spun down with the new power supply, I probably should be happy with that! I'm at ~74W with the older PS. Link to comment
