Our goal was to give you an idea of how much power each configuration used while idling and also while under a heavy workload. Please keep in mind that we were testing total system power consumption at the outlet.
The Vybe peaked at 519W, which means there is plenty of headroom left in the 860W power supply. Equally impressive is its idle power usage of just 68W, one of the lowest usages of the bunch.

Noise
No, this is not the version of FurMark we used to test the Vybe's thermal and noise attributes
A relatively compact case with an overclocked processor and dual graphics cards can be a recipe for a noisy system, but that wasn't the case here. The Vybe is a quiet system, even when gaming. It's only when fully stressing the CPU and both GPUs that all the fans start to make some noise, but even then it's not what we would consider loud.
