Theoretical? My rig with E8400, 4GB RAM, 2hdds and HD5850 consumed max 218w(gaming), I wonder why his system will consume more?Nice purchase Depskor
Really good Cable management i see there :Thumbsup:
The CM310 is well worth its price, i am using it and happy with it
But i have to ask you
if you have VX550 PSU shouldn't you have bought a more Capacious UPS than the 600VA?
Its all right in the current loads without GPU, but should you choose to go for a GTX560 or HD6950 the backup will definitely suffer na?
I have a Corsair VX450 and 650VA UPS combo for my normal rig which includes a 6850
and has a theoretical peak consumption of 315w on load
so theoretically if my PC requires 315 w while i am playing Crysis
PSU will draw 395w from UPS considering my PSU is 80% efficient
and mu APC650VA is rated for 390w, so i am cutting an edge there
My system result:@Tkin
its just the peak value that i got with the help of extremepsucalculator
the real world values may be quite different
and i am taking into account the 20% capacitor aging
My Rig is as follows
AMD Athlon II X4635 2.9GHz@1.25v (95w TDP)
Sapphire HD6850 @1.03v (127w TDP)
2x2GB Corsair Value Select
1x500GB Seagate 7200.12
Corsair VX450
APC 650VA
all this combined should consume 315w (Peak) from PSU (i am not taking into account the average runtime, but only worst case scenarios)
Thus PSU should consume 395w from UPS
though the real world values may be quite different
and add to that
Samsung B2030 Myst Eco@25w
My system result:
My Peak show by extremevision=466 watt
My peak as measured by UPS: 218w(gaming)
Something is quite odd.......
PS: Monitor has separate UPS.
No, a software called HWmonitor can read the data from UPS like powerchute does(same value, double checked), this software records lowest and highest values for system parameters for a period of time, I ran it in background and played every game possible.is it measured from APC Powerchute?
that is you alt-tabbed between gaming and powerchute?
or did you use a multimeter?
