Power Consumption – 227 Watts under Load

Ad

Under full load, the two processors with their eight cores draw 227 Watts of power. When overclocked to 4.00 GHz, their hunger for power increases to a remarkable 351 Watts.

At default speeds, the power consumption is lower than AMD’s, but a little higher when overclocked.

page 14 - two copies of same "Power Consumption 100% Load" graph = boob??!!

Spuddyt you're wrong!!

Anyone buying this board will have problems paying off those maxed out credit cards when their power bill comes in!! (Well we are talking enthusiasts right??)

I bet the lack of memory speed settings is more than just a beta issue... Intel will use it as a means of preventing ludicrous levels of Xeon overclocking and force anyone crazy enough to buy SkullTrail back onto the crack... er, I mean back to EEs, with their unlocked multiplier, relatively poor overclockability and 500% price premium. Per CPU. :P
