Benchmarks: Power Consumption

Under-load power consumption is admirably low for a gaming rig, but the idle reading is higher than it ought to be. A closer look at CPU frequency revealed that the chip wouldn't drop below 3.5GHz at any time, despite Intel SpeedStep technology being enabled in the BIOS. We'd encourage Vibox to look into this, as the chip should be running at much lower speeds when idle.
