I plugged the power cord into the meter (similar to a kill-a-watt, but from a different vendor), and then plugged that into the wall. I let it run all day and put the Quartz64-A under different loads and plugged in different peripherals. The max usage was 6.8 Watts, the minimum usage was 1.1 Watts, and when I would glance over at the meter during "normal" usage, it was pulling anywhere from 3.6 up to 5 Watts.
I hope that answers your question. Let me know if you need any other numbers.
Thank you! This already helps a bit, but how much does it draw in "idle" when it just booted and has no load? I mean, are the 1.1W stable or are they just the minimum you ever saw?
I am getting 0.7W in idle on the A64-LTS - but of course this is performance-wise a completely different story.
