Total System Power Draw Idle CPU Loaded GFX Loaded Intel Core i5 2500K nVidia Geforce GTX470 82W 170W 289W Intel Core i5 2500K Intel HD 3000 IGP 32W 117W 124W (Idel @ desktop) (via Prime95) (via 3DM06)

With a videocard installed into the ECS H67H2-M motherboard, at idle state the PC system draws a total of 82W, with CPU loaded - 170W. The big difference in power draw comes when 3D graphics are stressed, boosting power draw to 289W. While running on IGP graphics the ECS H67H2-M motherboard idles at 32W. Even after the IGP and CPU are stressed with Prime95, total system power draw doesn't rise higher than 117W.

The ECS H67H2-M motherboard is built with Japanese solid state capacitors.

Test System Hardware & Specs

PCSTATS has relied on Crucial memory for its servers for years, so it was only logical to install 4GB's of high end Crucial Ballistix DDR3-1600 8-8-8-24 memory into the ECS H67H2-M motherboard test system. This is some good quick DDR3 RAM and it features thermal monitoring too!

Storage devices have changed dramatically in recent years, you'll notice PCSTATS to retired the faithful old Western Digital Raptor's for a super quick OCZ Vertex 2 SSD (120GB, SATAII). The effect on system-wide benchmarks is dramatic!

Thanks to Crucial Memory, OCZ Technology and Intel for help outfitting this test platform.

Details on how the ECS H67H2-M motherboard was configured for benchmarking - including specific hardware, software drivers, operating system and benchmark versions - is listed in the Test System Spec chart below. Please take a moment to look over PCSTATS test system configurations before moving on to the individual benchmark results.
