I do have a kill-a-watt. without enabling ERP, I saw a cycling draw, from 1W to 7W. 1w...3w...1w...7w, repeat.


All my boards are review samples. I test power consumption both at the wall, and via 8-pin and PCIe plugs with all boards for those review.


You don't have mouse or keyboard plugged in, and still get that...? The worst boards for that, in my testing, are the new FM2 boards. :p
