ASUS ROG Strix Z690-E Gaming WiFi Review

Power Draw

Despite so many cores being available to you the power efficiency, long an Intel strong point, continues to be excellent here. Only overclocking your Core i9 causes things to get heavy on your energy bill. The Strix-E is significantly lower than the rest of the Z690s we’re reviewing today, so might be worth investigating should you be at your energy use limit, or if you just want to save the planet 30W at a time.
