Calculating total Power used from PSU.
Last response: in Components
Hi guys
So I've been installing new hardware over the past couple of months into a new rig, but im begining to think that my PSU is not powerful enough. Is there a way to calculate the total power being used by my components?
Spec:
PSU: OCZ Stealth X Stream 600w
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600@ 2.4ghz
RAM: 2x2gb Kingston Hyper X 1066mhz PC2 8500.
GPU: nVidea Geforce GTS 250
HDD: 2x 500gb Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm
MOBO: Asus P5QLD PRO
O/S: W7 Ultimate x 64
Also taking power: heatsink fan, side fan, front fan, themometer and optical drive.
I am thinking of adding a further 2gb of the same RAM and another 1tb seagate baracuda 7200 hdd. Also adding a rear Fan. Will my power suply be able to handle this?
Is there a way of calculating the total power being used that anyone could reccommend?
Many thanks

its from tom's review of the GTS250. just about every review site now publishes power benchmarks.
here's a better one for the GTS 25o (aka 9800GTX+)
