Power consumption of my system?

AdamShep · Aug 18, 2013

Hello everyone, yeah i know this question would perhaps be unanswerable, but can a rough estimate be given of my pc's power consumption (in idle mode and on load), minus my monitor and speakers.

My rig:
Processor: i5 3570
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H77M-D3H
RAM: G.Skill RipjawsX 2 X 4 GB
HDD: Seagate barracuda 1 TB and WD Blue 320 gb
Graphic card: Asus gtx 650 ti boost directcu ii OC

I don't have any of those devices used to measure power consumption.

Put all your PCs details in here and it will recommend you PSu wattage and show you power consumption. Site seems to be down at the moment, however.

For that card I recommend somewhere between 450w-550w. You won't be overclocking so I'd go with a solid 500w from a good brand such as Corsair, XFX, Antec or Seasonic.

No the point is not to buy a PSU, my rig's already set up with a corsair 500W, just wanted to know my power consumption on idle and load, in regards to my electricity bill. Thanks alot tho

Another. Given the test setup is overclocked, I'd guess you pull roughly 100w idle and 250w under load. Or u can spend $20 on a kill a watt and know for sure: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882715001
