Have I bought this processor due to the many positive reviews and I can only agree with those it's a good Economical processor and since I'm not on the computer games that is the choice for me my computer is running with the processor Perfectly and quickly. The power consumption is diskless and drives at 40 Watt Mainboard Asrock H77 PRO4-M 8 gigabytes of RAM Power Supply 540 Watt. With everything installed hard disk burner is the consumption in medium at 56 watts depending on the workload at full load I came to 75 watts as did my four cores CPU from AMD consumes 220 watts.
