My i3 and 1070 and 400W PSU combo

[TAZOO7]

Ok, reason for this is just to share my findings on power draw, my build is

CPU I3 6100
MoBo MSI B150M BAZOOKA
Ram Corsair Vengeance (2x4GB) DDR4 DRAM 2666MHz
Fans x6
SDD x2
PSU Be Quiet Straight Power 400W Fully Wired 80+ Gold Power Supply

Recommend PSU nvidia recommends is 500w, but going from a 970 to a 1070 my power draw has dropped from 270w to 200w yet both cards are supposed to be 150 draw, the 970 was the ssc version.

All in all its quite an impressive drop in power, and a nice gain in FPS

I have a Z170 board coming soon, so i will test again too see if it varies.

Low power skylake and a pascal GPU, awesome power efficiency

You overclocking the I3 with BLK for a nice boost in perf??
