Amiga power consumption

This is very interesting.

-A2000, 030-25 4 MB with very old pre-IDE harddrive: Iddle 60W

-A1200, with floppy only: Iddle 22W

-A1200 with DCE scandoubler, floppy, 4port IDE adapter, CD-rom, KB-adapter, harddrive: Iddle ~30W

-P4 2.4 GHz, Shuttle, Radeon 9600, 120GB, 512MB: Iddle 65W

Wow, I am actually very surprised your A4000T consumes over 100W! Can someone measure their A4000 with a PPC board and without one, those must suck lots of watt (and probably the Voodoo 3 card to)!

[cv643d]

Either the PPC card is always running 100% even in iddle or the Voodoo 3 card consumes 40W.

Wow, I am thinking about getting a Mediator, could someone measure the difference with and without a Mediator + PCI cards (Voodoo 3 most interesting).

Thanks!

Keep the reports comming!

My A1200/DCE FF-SS/4GB IDE HD/Apollo1260/IDEx4/CD-rom sits at 35 Watt iddle, 47 Watt startup.

Without HD and CD it is at 30 Watt.

That is very low I think. Perhaps if I could undervolt the A1260?

@Dennis:

Wow,,  so if someone makes a Quad Minimig it will only consume 4w!  :-o
