hi guys,
i know it's not sort of a standard question but i gonna ask anyway.
how much power does my -e5200+(ga-g31-s2l)+transcend 2x2+8600gt+sagate bar.500gb 7200.11...consume?(in watts)

200 -300 watts
 
<200W under any condition. But normal PSUs are only bout 50~60% efficient. So it should pull more than 350W from wall socket at full load, while system's powerconsumption remains <200W.

enebling all power saving features brings down the comsumption by almost half, ie around 100W, but still it draws around 150~180W from wall socket due to cheap PSU.

and a fan only consume 2~6W maximum.
 
Yeah 250 is max u using... but an SMPS should cover atleast 3 yrs. So if u plan to buy new one think how your future upgrades would go.
 
1 physical CPU
Motherboard: Regular - Desktop
CPU: Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200 2500 MHz Wolfdale-3M
CPU Utilization (TDP): 85% TDP

RAM: 2 Sticks DDR2 SDRAM
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT
Video Type: Single Card

IDE HDD 7200 rpm: 1 HDD

DVD-RW/DVD+RW Drive: 1 Drive

Keyboard and mouse: Yes

System Load: 90 %


Recommended Wattage: 176 Watts

But typically your system on average will consume around 100-150W

my PSU is local + u say that the pc consume only 100~150 watts and the PSU intakes 300~350 watts from the board so the bill will be made of 350 watts only?
(i'm a total noob when it comes to PSU and all):ashamed:

Yes u will be charged for 350 watts + u will also enjoy the extra heat benefit :hap5: with the local PSU. Ur PSU draws ~300 watts from the power outlet & converts it to 150 watts & feeds it to ur PC. Whatever power is wasted is dissipitated as heat.
 
Considering above mentioned config CPU only, would between between 130 to 150 watts. If add on it CRT monitor and modem, then it will reach to about 230 to 250 watts.

130-150w would have been consumed by CPU if OP's power supply was 100% efficient. But since its a generic PSU, which gives hardly 40%-50% under indian temperature/fluctuation/dust conditions, hence the power consumed by CPU alone is 300W.

@OP: You worried about power consumtion, get yourself a Gigabyte Superb 460W which would cost you 2.3k but will provide you

->80%+ efficiency

->Freedom to upgrade into faster/expensive system without thinking a billion times.

->Less heat

->Less Noise from PSU fan.

->Safeguard your components

PS: A good quality SMPS/PSU will safeguard your components from noise/voltage spikes which get transmitted from PSU to motherboard/HDD/GPU during AC to DC conversion (A very common phenomenon for Generic PSU's and hence the most common reason for dying/malfunctioning of components like Motherboard, GPU or HDD)

Can i advice you any further for buying a proper PSU?

If not for your room heat or power consumption or component safety, atleast do this much for the planet. :|

Options:

Zebronics Pro 350w - 1.5k

Gigabyte Superb 460W - 2.3k

Corsair CX400 - 3.2k

Corsair VX450 - 4k

Glacial Power 650AA - 4.4k

I know its gone OT, but ive posted for others concerned about power consumtion can read :)
 
it wud take 125w around on idle....but electricity bill depends on how much drawn from ac mains.....so using a 50% efficient cpu wud take 250w from mains.

The local psu is mostly around 50-60% efficient...it draws 250w from ac main sockets.....converts to DC power used by ur pc....this conversion efficiency is wt we are talking about....it produces 125w DC power. Rest power is lost in conversion as heat, etc.

Close to 170 to 180 Watts Underfull load & 75 to 85 watts Idle !
 
also the PSU efficient reduces with age, and also the noise factor increases with age. By 'noise' i mean the noise in the output wave form.

if you really bothered about power consumption, upgrade your PSU to an 80+ PSU.

A 350~400 W 80+ PSU will be close to 90% efficient at loads like 100~150.

SO at 150W load, itll only draw ~165W from wall socket. :D
 
^^that's funny .....8600gt alone eats 40~60 watts:P

that's makes me frightened now because i have my everything @ odyssey 450W(local it seems:()
