Benchmarks: Power Consumption

Under 100W for a Sandy Bridge Extreme system with a high-end GeForce GTX 580 is a good idle figure.

Despite the overclock, power draw doesn't get into crazy territory with the CPU running flat out.

Having just a single graphics card does have one advantage, we suppose, as 3D power draw is kept below 300W when gaming.
