Energy Usage - How much per hour?

Myntekt · Jun 4, 2014

Hello!
Imagine that I have a computer with a 630W PSU.
Will it always be spending those 630W or will it depend on whether I'm doing intensive things such as gaming?
For example, say that I'm only browsing the internet on website such as youtube, will I still be spending those 630W?
Thank you

It will only use as much power as is necessary for your tasks; it won't use 630W all the time.

Is there a way to see of much it is spending without an external tool? Like a software, making an estimation?
Thanks

Sorry there is no software tool that can tie into everything necessary to make a half decent estimate.

You can get a kill-a-watt meter from amazon for like $20-25

Meh.. Buying something just to use it once doesn't make much sense.
