Why are my posts being deleted? I posted provable facts and my opinions about them. 1130W (what it's up to now) is *far* more power than the Falcon should be drawing based on what we were told. I'm going to try a 1000W PSU tomorrow to see if it has better efficiency than my 850W. I doubt it will be much lower though.
I'm going to post up an unboxing and setup video tonight.
I'm running .4 KwH for 20 minutes.... 1200watts/hour. My psu is 1200watts and the wires are getting hot. I video taped my unboxing as well, although I found nothing wrong except some scratches on the casing.
Thanks. That's about the same as mine. I'm using a Raidmax RX-850AE which is 80 Plus Gold so it should be pretty efficient. Hopefully the RX-1000AE I'm going to try tomorrow will bring it down a little. This power use is a major problem for me. I could have run 700-800W on one of our circuits but 1100W+ is more than they can handle.
