Hey all, so i have found an online Power Consumption calculator and i see there's Clock settings here, so if i want lets say to accurately measure how many/max W my PC will use what info i should drop here ? Lets say i will play OC'ed and in e.g. MSI Afterburner / official gpu site my core clock is like 10010Mhz ( i've heard that i need to divide it by 4, right? ), but here is max 3500 even afterburner shows 10k, also what does the Overvoltage stands for ? Is the same as in the Afterburner slider right ? So i should copy and paste it here right ?

P.S. Ryzen 5 1600 + 1080 Turbo OC ends up at 740W~, is that true or 500W ( recommended PSU ) will do fine with 1796mhz / 50% overvoltage and 2500mhz mem clock ?

Increasing clock speed will increase power draw linearly (by small amount).

Increasing voltage will increase power draw exponentially (by large amount).

Increasing power limit will increase power draw depending on how much you increased the power limit.

 

Overclocked R5 1600 + GTX 1080 in worst case scenario should not use more than 450W from the wall.

In most games no more than 375W.

I would say minimal, i would never trust those PSU calculator websites, power draw is base from voltage which varies from card to card. I would suggest getting a Teir 1-3 (500-600 W) from below thread.

that combo wont draw 500Ws probably, even overclocked. i would get a 650W PSU to be on the efficient side of things though

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

740w for 1 cpu and 1 gpu?  What the hell kind of draw is that o.O

QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION!

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.

Lol

 

A single 1080 and Ryzen 5 chip will maybe draw 350W under OC'd load. A Corsair RMi/RMx 550W or EVGA G2/G3 550W+ should work fine. Outervision is a pile of garbage.

I'm fairly certain that adjusting clock speed without adjusting Power Limit or voltage doesn't increase power draw.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

It doesn't on its own, but it has an effect on power draw if you increase it when you overclock. I should elaborate, but I was lazy :(
