there are sensors on the motherboard, CPU and graphics card that records their power draw and HWinfo can report them. However, these are mostly inaccurate, and does not record other stuff like HDDs and RGB lights' power draw. A power meter is what you need.

CPU: i7-2600K 4751MHz 1.44V (software) --> 1.47V at the back of the socket Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Extreme4 (BCLK: 103.3MHz) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 RAM: Adata XPG 2x8GB DDR3 (XMP: 2133MHz 10-11-11-30 CR2, custom: 2203MHz 10-11-10-26 CR1 tRFC:230 tREFI:14000) GPU: Asus GTX 1070 Dual (Super Jetstream vbios, +70(2025-2088MHz)/+400(8.8Gbps)) SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB (main boot drive), Transcend SSD370 128GB PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold Case: Antec P110 Silent, 5 intakes 1 exhaust Monitor: AOC G2460PF 1080p 144Hz (150Hz max w/ DP, 121Hz max w/ HDMI) TN panel Keyboard: Logitech G610 Orion (Cherry MX Blue) with SteelSeries Apex M260 keycaps Mouse: BenQ Zowie FK1

Hello, is there any program to monitor the watt that my pc drains ?

No, you need a Hardware Device to measure that.

 

There are a hand full of PSU that can monitor that.

To be actually accurate you need hardware outside of your PC. Some software can hook up to load testers.

 

A Corsair RMi/HXi have capabilities if using Corsair Link, that allow you to read pretty accurately how much voltage is being demanded by the PSU. You can also use a Kill-A-Watt and measure how much power is drawn from the wall, and do napkin math based on the efficiency of your PSU to get a rough idea of how much power is being demanded by the system from the PSU.

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

I've thinking in getting one of these for my setup

but if you only want to measure the PSU something like this should work, search for one with the plug you need
