***GPU PSU Power Usage Thread***

Good thread, hopefully find some useful info. As tbh I'm very wary of clocking both my cpu and gpu's with the very old HX850 l have. At stock speed I'm seeing a draw at the wall of 650w un games.
 
While gaming my rig pulls anywhere between 290-384w at the wall depending on the game. The most I have ever made it pull is 452w at the wall by running Linx and Furmark both at the same time. Idle is 69w!! The gpu is not overclocked but does boost to 1150mhz out the box.
 
As you can see even with three cards this is a huge contrast to Nicks Classifieds.

Got a 5 plug model here, very handy for measuring usage of monitor as well as system, rated upto 3680w. Model no, N35HN.

Ill see if i can add a result once i get some sort of oc on my cpu too, as so far ive only clocked the cards a bit. Though i still suspect ill need a new psu soon.
