Wattage Check

Go to solution Solved by Sakkura,

The estimated CPU power consumption seems to be 7.7W to 25.9W in those situations. But it's just an estimate.

Need a software to check the wattage my pc is using.

 

No, I will not buy a multimeter, No i do not care if the readings are inaccurate to the Nth degree. I'll be able to tell if they're crazy.

 

Let's go. Throw out some suggestions.

Why? Because I have exactly one US Penny in my bank account.

 

Think I should clarify. I need software.

Checked it out. Nothing about wattage, just volts.

I don't think there are many that do wattage, only volts

HWMonitor shows estimated CPU power consumption. Don't know where you'd see GPU power consumption though, let alone the rest of the system. I think you'd need eg. Corsair link for that (with a compatible digital power supply).

Is this what you mean? What is my total consumption?

So at Idle i consume about that much?

 

I have a very low watt system because I have no gpu.

That's what the program says. I can't vouch for the accuracy of the measurement though, but 7.7W at idle seems reasonable.
