My Core i7-3770 rig idles at 35W
5 months ago

I use a Kill-A-watt meter and couldn't believe it. Idle 35W total, Full load (virus scan+video editing+web browser) ~100W. Typical internet surfing <45W

It has a SSD, 3T HDD, 24X Blueray DVD, 500W Earthwatts power supply, no graphic card, ethernet.

The highest case temperature is 28C. CPU 37C at idle. I used stock heatsink. It is very cool and quiet.
