Hello, As the title suggests how much data you use? For me it's roughly 200-500GB because I seed torrents 24/7. What about yours?

Hi! I'm planning on upgrading my PC: Intel i5 3330s 2 x 4Gb DDR3 MSI Z77A-G43 RX 570 8 Gb 2 Tb HDD 450W EVGA PSU to a partially new one: I'm changing my CPU, RAM but keeping my GPU as I think it's "good" enough (I'll maybe upgrade it in the future), HDD in case of backup, and PSU. Also, I will change my old PC case since I don't want to destroy the whole thing, and since it's a hand-made one. So here's my new pieces: Ryzen 5 5600X 2 x 8 Gb of DDR4 Asrock B550M Steel Legend Corsair Crystal 280X White Corsair MP600 Core 1Tb The thing I'm wondering is: will my 450W PSU have enough power delivery? I know there are sites to check and to sum each piece's power consumption but somehow I can't find what's the Motherboard power consumption... Also I'm not sure about this motherboard, if you have any alternatives, I'm listening! I want a micro-ATX one, under 150€, that supports AM4 CPUs obviously, and with as much ports/sata slots as the Asrock I choose has. Thanks in advance!

Huh. So, I had this disturbing revelation. I wish there were a better way to share it with others, because it's hard to explain how everything connects for me. I guess I'll try and start at the beginning. One thing you may or may not know about me is that I don't like this world. Not at all. When I was young, I could see that my dreams could never be real in it. Because of this, I usually went to media like video games and anime because they didn't have the limitations this world does. As I've grown up, I've played and watched more and more of these stories. And as I've realized how many of them there are, I became disheartened because I realized I could never experience them all in a normal human lifetime (part of the limitations of the world). Well, while I was thinking about my relationship with God and stuff, I realized something. This disheartened feeling was causing an evil reaction in me. I mean, obviously being disheartened to things you love in general is bad, but there's a very special reason this particular reaction to this feeling of mine is evil. And that is because of what it implies. But I'll get to what it implies in a second. This feeling is based on the idea that I enjoy a certain something (for me, video games and anime, for others, whatever), and that I will do my best, with my spare time, to experience as much of it as I can with that time. And make more of that time when possible. It actually reminds me of a quote I saw once: "Everything changed the day she realized there was just enough time in life for the important things." Paraphrased, but close. Though that implies the same thing that my reaction (which is to experience as much as I can with what spare time I do have) does, but it helps explain what I'm saying, I think. The problem with that quote, and the problem with my reaction to that feeling (and the feeling itself, really) is that it implies I'm going to die. I'm effectively resigning myself to death by accepting this feeling and reacting to it in this way. That there will be a point where there is "no more time". Which obviously isn't true. And then I thought about how people normally lived their lives. How society views these types of things. And from what I can tell, it's the same thing. Everyone is living like they are going to die. Trying to claim whatever "life" they can before they do die. Which leads me to this: Matthew 16:24-25 And that's when I realized I was being sucked into society's view of life. To take what you can before your gone, rather than to prepare for your "real" life. And so, personally, I've resolved myself to ask the simple question of "Why?" when I do things from now on. "Because I enjoy it." is not good enough anymore. In fact, I would say I should avoid such things where that is the only reason I do them (i.e. video games and anime for me). Because if they are really worth spending time on, I will see them again. I'm sure of it.

So I'm a fan of using less electricity and have been contemplating my next CPU choice. To keep things simple (and/or ignorant) I'm only considering Intel CPUs. I'm aware that the power numbers I'm listing are TDP values and not actual electrical power, but to my understanding they are representative and probably proportional to the actual power use. With that in mind, here are my questions regarding a few comparisons. 1. I7 7700 (65W) vs i7 7700k (95W) - will the 7700k generally be using more power under the same processing load? Or will it only begin to use more power than the 7700 once it begins to do more work than it? 2. i5 7600k (91W) vs i7 6700 (65W) - will the i5 be using more power under maximum load than the i7, even though it will probably be doing a bit less work? 3. i5 7600 (65W) vs i7 7700 (65W) - will they be using the same amount of power under maximum load, even though the i7 will be easily outperforming the i5? Cheers

I'm trying to upgrade my PC's graphics card to a 2080 Super and 32 gigs of ram but I don't know if I'll need a new power supply. I've seen some ways of finding the consumption but they just aren't that good (mainly the websites that "estimate it"). Is there any way I can test it so I can see if I'll need a new power supply? Maybe some sort of software? Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone! I'm currently upgrading my GPU from a GTX 970 to a RTX 2070, and wanted to know if I should/must change my PSU. My PC specs: CPU: Intel Core i7-8700k (working at 4.7GHz) RAM: 16GB G.Skill Aegis 3000MHz GPU: ZOTAC GTX 970 MOBO: MSI Z370-A Pro PSU: Corsair CX500 (80+ Bronze) I did some research and noticed people sayin' that 500W would be fine, while others said that 650W was the safe way to go. Should I spend some cash and grab a newer and better PSU? Thanks!

Hi i'm wondering if my current power supply is enough for the new rtx 3080 card. Switching from gtx 1080 founders to 3080 their power consumption on nvidia website is 180w for 1080 and 320w for 3080, so is my power supply ok or not, i think it is but i would like to make sure, it's almost double in consumption. I m not getting the card at launch a little after but i would like to know so i can prepare. Thanks CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3950X GPU: Palit NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 8GB Founders Edition RAM: G.Skill Tident Z Neo 32GB DDR4 32GTZN 3600 CL18 (2x16GB) STORAGE: SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2, 500GB 2 X - Samsung SSD 860 QVO 1TB COOLING: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 280 Power Supply: Corsair RM Series RM750 80+ Gold (modular) 2019 750 Watt

So does higher power consumption put out more volume of heat? Really I am wondering what = my room getting hot fast? I know undervolting my card and lowering frequency’s help. But would a more efficient card be the answer? I got a 2070s strix and a Vega 56.

Digiconomist have published an article about how much energy is spent computing Bitcoin transactions. There are some interesting comparisons putting the numbers in perspective: They also state that 1 Bitcoin transaction consumes 935 KWh of energy, in comparison 100,000 VISA transactions only consumes 169 KWh. According to https://www.tesla.com/en_GB/modelx the Tesla Model X can drive 351 miles on 100 kWh. Extrapolating from this information, you could drive a whole 3281 miles or 5281 km for the energy consumed by a single Bitcoin transaction. That would equal driving more than the full horizontal width of the USA, or driving the full height of the USA twice. (source) Or from the south point of Portugal to the northern point of Finland. (source) This raises some serious questions regarding sustainability, another topic which they touch upon in the article. Link to article: https://digiconomist.net/bitcoin-energy-consumption -
Ummmm..... I was given 4 AMD FirePro v5900 graphic cards. two of them are in x16 slots and two are in x8 my PSU indicates that it can only output 475 watts I have a intel xeon W3550 What should I do? P.S. I have a crappy computer, i know

At the following GHz: *1.4GHz (35w?) *2.4GHz (65w?) *3.2GHz (95w?) *4.2GHz (125w) Do not need EXACT power consumption...

So, i made this build here with an i7 8700 and a gtx 1060 6gb and when i look a the power needed.. it says only 270 watts needed...which seems insufficient for a i7 8700 and a 1060. idk why i feel something wrong. if nothing is wrong, is a corsair vs450 (450 watt obviously) enough? dont mind the monitor and storage as im going to buy them irl. i just popped them in there to see what the price would be, Build: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/IanTauro/saved/GXrvVn Thanks for any help!

Just got a Ryzen 7 CPU and i'm going through the works to make sure it's working correctly. I'm not familiar enough with power consumption to know if it is pulling to much power. Currently downloading a game, and doing some light browsing, and it's getting peak speeds of around 3.850GHz according to Ryzen Master. I think I saw around 4GHz is normal for gaming, but i'm not doing anything at all really and it's running it kind of close. Sometimes breaching 4 GHz. In addition, Ryzen Master is saying my EDC(CPU) is at 99% of 90 A, Limit 168 A, whatever that means. I've changed my power plan to balanced, set minimum to 5%, applied it, and tinkered around with other power plan options, but the EDC is still showing red. This seems to have been the solution for other people, but not me I guess. Help would be much appreciated.

Hi, I recently upgraded to a new motherboard and cpu. I would like to know if it's possible to overclock the cpu when I work, and reduce its clock speed back to normal (or stock speed) when the computer is not on workload or just in idle, because I leave my computer on quite a lot. The motherboard I'm using now is asus rampage extreme v, I can't seem to find any option such as "adaptive mode" when I'm to set the power, there is only "manual" and "auto". -
Hi, so Im s]using my other account on the forum today, but nonetheless I should be able to check replies for this topic To get to the business, I have a 4690k running at 4.5ghz, Hyper 212 evo, with a single hard drive, one ssd, and 5 case fans. I have a single GTX 770 4gb twin frozr, all of that running on an evga 80+ gold 650w power supply. I have decent frames running on a 1440p monitor, but I would like to see more performance. My friend offered me a great deal on another GTX 770 4gb. However, I feel like 2 GTX770s in sli would not be able to be handled by my PSU (650w). Note that I will not be doing any overclocking. Will this be okay to run, or should I call off the deal and upgrade in the future? Thanks.

I remember long time ago Luke mentioned power bill in one of the graphic card videos when Maxwell just came out, and notice that in the forum here there would be one group of people who worries about power consumption and another group that consider that a myth. So it got me thinking: Are most people here aware of the monthly/annual power consumption of their household? How much does power cost in your country? I know different countries will have different electric tariffs and culture around using power, and some countries people will have alternatives like gas or propane or something. But I thought it would still be an interesting topic. I live in an apartment, purely electric. Wash, cook, heat, chill with electric. Two person live here, my gf and I, and we use about 300kWh a month, and I suppose I'm the big power user in the house, gadget and PC and all, I probably use 200kWh out of the 300kWh. Actively trying to cut it down a little bit because power cost a lot more when we use over 300kWh. Edited for @Geekazoid

FX-8350 vs FX-8370 TDP Significantly lower typical power consumption 101.56W vs 159.66W More than 35% lower typical power consumption Newer Sep, 2014 vs Oct, 2012 Release date over 1 years later Much lower annual home energy cost 30.11 $/year vs 56.1 $/year More than 45% lower annual home energy cost Significantly lower annual commercial energy cost 109.5 $/year vs 159.62 $/year More than 30% lower annual commercial energy cost I was 100% sure FX-8370 was just clocked up but if it uses less power then... (better silicon & more refined?) -
Hey all, I stumbled upon these the other day while looking for low power consumption computer parts: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/H97M-ECO.html#hero-overview Anyways, my father has been a software engineer at various companies all over the US and he's been using the same old laptop to do all of his work. For his upcoming birthday I was looking into building him a new computer. He is huge on ECO stuff. He's always buying something to help him save the earth in one way or another either by buying things using recycled materials or by buying energy efficient electronics for the house. So I started looking around for low power consumption computer parts and realized that there aren't really too many options for this. I like the ECO motherboards by MSI because they could be paired with the S versions of intels core processors to save some energy. I also found that kingston sells their lovo line of memory which was used with the MSI boards to get less power consumption than a standard 15v light bulb: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/msi-eco-motherboard-green-efficient,27209.html Sounds a little gimicky but I would love to hear about any other low consumption options for a pc including coolers (if they use less than the stock cooler) PSUs (not sure if this is a thing) and any other parts. Im hoping to get a build planned before the end of may for my fathers birthday. Also anyone know any cases made from recycled plastics or other cases? I know he would love that too. Thanks all

I am planning to buy Sapphire R9 280X vaporx trix card and I am not sure whether my PSU, (thermaltake litepower 600(w0355)) can handle it. Below are the full specs, any and all answers are appriciated. Specs: Intel i7 4770(non k @stock 3.4 GHz) HyperX Fury Blue @1600 MHz (stock) MSI H81M-P33 Intel stock CPU fan Thermaltake Litepower 600W (w0355) Thermaltake Pure 120mm LED fan (x2) Westerd Digital Blue 1TB HDD TSSTcorp Optical Drive(not sure about the model but don't think it affects much) Crappy USB keyboard and mouse Logitech G430 7.1 Surround A cheap fan controller incoming I think I wrote evereything that takes power through the PSU in here. What do you think an estimated wattage of this system at full load, and do you think r9 280x will run on this system?

I'm intrigued to learn more about the power consumption of my gaming PC. I'm sure we've all seen the sales pitch from memory manufacturers, something along the lines of "Low power consumption - only 1.2V" Anyone with basic understanding of ohms law would know that volts alone does not signify something is low power consuming. Sure low is relative to what you might consider normal. Power consumption is usually measured in watts (W) or joules (J). Your energy supplier will usually charge you in killowatt-hour (kWh) Memory manufacturers only ever advertise the voltage of their memory. A quick look at the tech specs of many popular modules, there is no mention of amps (A) In order to verify their claims we need to know the amps. My question is, why is it so that they don't disclose the amps? what are they hiding? and Are their claims of low power consumption misleading? Look forward to your thoughts. -
Scientists have made a break through in computing that allows data to be encoded with nothing but an electric field allowing us to make computers faster and smaller while also reducing power consumption.

Performance summary : Power consumption overview & in detail. Now before we procede I must point out that the Gigabyte GTX 980 OC uses a handpicked golden sample GM204 chip.Which is why it consumes less power than a reference GTX 980. It's also worthy to note that the reference 970 figures are "emulated". Tom's Hardware used the Gigabyte 970 card to make the measurements but underclocked it to match a reference 970. These are power consumption measurements for the card alone and not the entire system which is why they're quite low. Tom's Hardware has quite an elaborate setup to isolate the power consumption of the card. The reference GTX 980 consumes exactly 200W under load, exactly the same as an HD 7970. Putting at 5W less than a GTX 780 and 44W less than a 780 Ti which actually coincides with Luke's results. Also 42W under than 290X. The GTX 970 is more impressive, coming in at 168W, 4W below the GTX 680 and very cool 37W below the GTX 780. Again the handpicked GM204 in the Gigabyte GTX 980 tops the chart. What's interesting is that AMD isn't really far behind, especially with their Pitcarin GPU powering the R9 270X, 270, 265 & 7870.
