I'm mining some litecoins for a few hours a day and would like to know how much electricity my system is using when mining.
A power meter costs around 2,000 rupees but I have an APC UPS which can connect to the PC and allow me to see the wattage my system is using. Unfortunately, I misplaced the data cable for the UPS while I shifted residence.
Where can I order a spare data cable online or are there really cheap power meters? I only need to know my power use when using only the desktop and when mining.
My system is (in case I can get a rough estimate of power use
i3 2100
4 gb ram
A low end foxcon motherboard that has another brand name on it
Seagate 500 GB
Coolermaster GX 550W PSU
ASUS 7850 2GB (mines litecoins at intensity 13 while I use the desktop)
AOC 22 inch LCD from 2007 (I really want to upgrade to an 120 Hz ASUS LCD)
