W wahtcing

which is the best/most reliable program for monitoring/watching W consumption on pc??

[Eigenvektor]

Most reliable would probably be a watt meter the PC is connected to. That will give you an actually measured value, rather than an estimated one.

Buy one, it's cheap and helpful to keep around

 

Like... $9

Or DIY an extension cable and measure amperage using Clamp meter.

Then calculate using : W = V x A

Then get one? That's the only thing that's going to give you the real consumption of the whole PC, at least unless you have a fancy high end recent power supply that has power measurement.

 

Some smart plugs have power measurement too.

Never knew there's a PSU with that feature. o_O

Corsair i series PSUs can do it via software provided you have it hooked into your mobo via the usb cable.

Ahh I see.
I just searched about PSU with such feature and there's also Aorus P1200W i guess.

Thanks for letting me know about i series.
