In this segment of the video, the presenter tests the power consumption of a system using a q6608 processor. Initially, the system shows a power usage of around 199 watts with a graphics card installed but not actively doing anything. The power consumption increases to 205 watts when running a GPU render test and stress testing the CPU. The presenter then switches to another power supply, which already draws more current even when the PC is off, and proceeds to power on the computer to assess its performance.

In this segment of the video, the presenter walks through the process of testing power consumption with a PC build. They start by checking the idle power draw, then stress the CPU, add a GPU, and stress both the CPU and GPU to measure power consumption. The results show an increase in power draw when the GPU is added, indicating a less efficient power supply. The presenter discusses the importance of power efficiency for high-powered systems and suggests that long-term investment in a more efficient power supply might be beneficial to save money and improve reliability.
