    Neat program to see how much power your rig can pull!

    I posted recently, that I couldn't get my rig to pull more than 390W despite having an overclocked i7 and a 4890.

    Well, with this little program I was able to get both CPU and GPU to 100% usage... and my power draw (measured at wall with Kill-A-Watt) up to 570W!

    Doubt I'll ever break 400W in normal usage, but still good to know what is physically possible.

    Oh, I missed the part where you have a kill a watt.

    I ran the test and was like "Where does it say I use X amount of power?!"

    Nevermind.

    Yeh, better title would have been "to max out your rig's power draw."
