Hi guys,
I have a pretty hefty rig that consists of crossfire 7970's, 4770k and a 1000w PSU (Seasonic 1000w '80 Plus Platinum' Modular Power Supply)
Now I'm not gaming on this rig much anymore but I do have the PC on of average 6 hours a day. I'm a bit worried of the electricity bill because of this and I'm pretty much only using it for web browsing, iTunes and Football Manager!
Will the PSU resort to a lower watt rate when not being use to full potential? I don't really want to downgrade but we've moved into a house much more expensive to run than the last so if I can save some pennies I will try to.
First thought was going from a crossfire setup to one GPU and also downgrading the PSU?
Let me know your thoughts.
Andy
