    Guys/gals do you know how much power your computer uses:confused:I dont think you ever worried about that.Besides still our parents pay the electricity bill.:D

    Here is the best programme available to check the power consumption of your PC with all da parts included.You have to add the monitors power consumption to it and u will have the full power use of ur computer in Watts.


    Attention
    1.Use 90% at the CPU utilization(TDP) box.
    2.Please add ur OverClocking details if u OC.
    3.Additional PCI-E cards mean without the VGA card.
    4.Select external USB devices without KB and mouse.
    5.Put system load @ 100%.
    6.Put capasitor aging @ 25%.
    7.Fan controller means a unit that has meters to control ur fan speeds.Not the ones u made or included in the fan.
    8.LCDs mean that little LCDs mounted in to case.
    9.Cold cathodes,TEC coolers are not available here.:D

    Go here for count.

    Post without monitor power draw.U can know it by adding 100W for 17"CRT & 75W for 15" CRT.

    Post ur wattage here with system details.Then we can have a good knowledge about the power draw of our PCs.:):cool::yes:

    Actually its

    356 Watts without the monitor


    I dont think this is 100% correct
    It's not correct, but it's close.

    Actually it should be higher. No power supply can do 100% efficiency. Best ones will do 80%. Normal ones will do 60%.
