hi, I've had a good read of the sticky FAQ at the top of this forum - but couldn't really find an answer.
<b>Can i detect what percentage of my PSU I'm currently using?</b> I've just added an extra 2 HDD's to my system and it seems perfectly happy... but just got me wandering.
I have a nice Antec TruPower 330 (might be 350), with a P4-3.06ghz, 4 HDD's, 2 optical drives, Radeon-9800, a few fans and a couple of USB devices.
As I said, the system is stable, doesn't appear to be too hot and the voltages are steady in +/- 3% of respective values.
Yet I can imagine I'm easily chewing up 200-300w that my PSU is spitting out.
any ideas is appreciated.
Cheers,
Jack
