My current rig is:

Intel core i7-6700k(no overclocking)
Nvidia geforce 970 gtx msi
A hdd sata 7.2k rpm
Psu: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX650G 650W Modular
nxzt 410 phantom with 2 fans active on medium-low speed.
2 monitors : samsungs240d300
cooler:hyper 212 evo

i tried to calculate the consumption on different sites on the net but the results are not the same.Can anyone estimate how much my rig consumes per hour ?or per 8-12 per day?
I usually play world of warcraft(most of the time) + streamers that i watch.
I installed joulemeter if that counts,and while i was playing and watching the stream it was saying that 70-80 w was consuming.

it required 10-18KW/H to run an entire home (all appliance running at same time, including clothes dryer, washer, vacuums all lights, heating/AC, Televisions etc.... you will not run 5 Kilowatts that is 5,000 Watts per hours.. lol

Assuming it uses 300watts/H per hours that would be 2,400 watts per 8 hours. not likely because your system is not consuming that much per hours anyways. Pc consumes on average 100Watts per hours, same as an incandescent 100W bulb. (not the led type.)




it's kinda hard to say as consumption isn't stable.

under load (theoretically) you'd draw around 380W including efficiency losses
but I doubt you will draw that much at any time given what you're doing

in idle, you should draw way under 100W from the grid.
for example, the MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G draws up to 145W under load but only 12W in idle
so I guess when idling or just browsing you'll need around... 65W total max?
