Power Consumption and Temperatures

The ASRock X299 Killer SLI/ac did quite well in power consumption testing. With two phases less than the much more expensive ASRock X299 Gaming i9, the X299 Killer SLI/ac managed to match the other board's power-usage numbers nearly exactly, even though there are less phases and the power chokes are rated for slightly less power output. That shows how strong this board is for 24/7 daily use, which is strong indeed. Clearly when pushing those upper limits, the board's power abilities may prove to have an impact, but from what my testing showed, such is only the case when pushing LN2-levels of cooling as well.
