Maingear Rush Review With Radeon R9 295X2 CrossFire
Power Consumption & Noise
Predictably, the Rush pulls a lot of juice from the wall. Even at idle, the system sucks 152W, and under a full load, it hit a monstrous 780W.
At idle, the Rush certainly emits some audible fan noise. However, even under a stressful load, that's about all you get; the noise level is less than what you’d likely expect from such a rig. The whoosh of the fans is noticeable, but it’s by no means overpowering or even annoying. The clacking of a mechanical keyboard will drown it out.
