How much power will my system consume?

rajandeep123 · Nov 16, 2013

Hi,
I live in India so electricity is not regular. I need to make sure my power backup can handle my pc.

Motherboard: MSI 990FXA-GD65

GRAPHIC CARD: MSI 280X

RAM : Corsair Vengeance® — 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 Memory Kit (2 x 4 GB) (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9R)

PSU: Seasonic S12II 620 Watts PSU

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1 TB Desktop Internal Hard Drive (ST1000DM003)

CD READER: LG GH24NS71/GH24NS72/GH24NS95 Internal Optical

What will my power consumption (watts) be in the following cases:
1) CPU FX 6300 + STOCK FAN (LOAD/GAMING)
2) CPU FX 6300 + HYPER 212 EVO (LOAD/GAMING + OC)
3) CPU FX 8320 + STOCK FAN (LOAD/GAMING)
4) CPU FX 8320 + HYPER 212 EVO (LOAD/GAMNG + OC)

Thanks

Another Indian here!
A 500-600watts PSU will be enough & yes go for the corsair one, they last longer & serve you for the price you pay.

you misunderstood me. I want to know how many watts will actually be consumed, not which psu to get

rajandeep123 · Nov 16, 2013

also, i would not recommend the vs series as they are just cheap entry level psu

rajandeep123 :

than open the manual of every component & start counting the wattage required.If you are putting the exact amount of psu required than your rig will suffer.

Remember more is better!

You see the PSU isn't the problem, its my power backup that supplies electricity to my floor when there is none. Since i haven't bought a single component yet, i posted here

rajandeep123 · Nov 16, 2013

and i don't think you have read my entire post, please do that before answering again

U can't calculate exact wattage values, but here are some approximate values for relative comparison
1) 419W
2) 447W
3) 443W
4) 480W

Mind that these are approximate

chimera201 · Nov 16, 2013

ManthanBhavsar :

Hell no. That Seasonic S12 II Bronze 620W is far better. That VS series PSUs are the worst of Corsair. AX series are the best of Corsair

chimera201 :

A little more than what i expected. If i may ask, how did you calculate these approx. I thought that the 280x uses less energy?
Thanks

I wont be writing when i am playing so make that 448 out of the wall.
Is the TX series better that this seasonic?

ko888 · Nov 17, 2013

rajandeep123 :

No.

Some of the older TX models were made by Seasonic (e.g. CMPSU-650TXV2).
