    No you are not blind, I'm also hoping for some more information regarding this subject. In my tests I have measured 17,8A from ATX +12V yellow wires when CPU-test ran ok @ 4,644 GHz. Sometimes system crashed @ 16,3A. How can we benefit in overclocking observing the amps?

    Seems like 3DMark Vantage's GT1 and GT2 are drawing very little power from PSU (4,5 GHz run):



    12,14V * 3,8A = 46,132W

    Then CPU-test 1:


    12,07V * 16,8A = 202,776A

    There is no time to react with ESC key and stop the CPU-test when system freezes and amps drop from ~17A to 6,8A or something.

    FUGGER? Dr Who?
