Where can i check how much each PC part uses watts?
Hello,
I would like to ask you peoples, where can i find a calculator which would calculate watts usage separately for each part? Every calculator i found it calculates me instantly overall watts usage, not showing me for example how much CPU uses watts or GPU for example. I need this for my project. We need to know how much each pc part uses watts and get overall watts usage. Thanks for reading, hopefully someone can help me :) .

Thank you guys! Very fast answer, did not expected that!

Anti-duck, damn i should of been trying that method ( Hitting calculate for each part ) :) .


Yeah, it's what I always do :)  I like having that 'safety net', it's always good to have a bit more power than you need rather than the alternative of not having enough power :p

pcpartpicker.com is pretty accurate.

Most of the calculators err on the side of caution to avoid people popping stuff. Googling the particular part also helps. If it is fairly common someone will have actually measured it.
