Benchmarks: Power Consumption

Power consumption is one area in which we start to see a bit of separation between boards. Z87, without some of the new storage enhancements, seems to have a very slight edge. On the Z97 models, meanwhile, the overclocker-orientated boards from Gigabyte and MSI tend to draw a little more power than Asus's conservative Z97-A.
