Load
Idle

Even without any additional power saving features the EVGA nForce 750i SLI has a respectively high idle power requirement, with all the other Intel chipset boards sitting lower than it when the PC is doing nothing. At load though the EVGA board really isn't that bad for a board without any dynamic load balancing power features. True, this is partly because the board only has very few features to start with an only a six phase PWM on the CPU, but if you weren't going to use an armful of extra parts anyway - why pay to power them?
