checking powersupply usage

[Jevnaker]

Hi any tips on how i can test or check how much power is being pulled from my powersupply after adding new post build stuff? added three casefans and just wanted to check.

Case-fans use very little power, (unless you have blowie-matrons).

Use a power meter to measure power consumption from your outlet.

Something along the lines of this will tell you what you're pulling from the wall.

Any decent UPS will show power consumption in real time.

Quote posts that you're addressing so that people are notified that you've added questions or comments to your topic. Most people don't crawl through their recent history like I do to make sure nothing else has been asked (end even here, you can tell it's taken me several days)

a UPS is an Uninterrupted/Uninterruptible Power Supply. Essentially what it will do is "kick in" in the event of power loss from the wall to itself, and keep the system operating long enough for you to safely shut toe system down. A large number of them also tell you how much is being pulled from it, as well as some of them cleaning up the sine waves, providing the power supply in your computer with "cleaner" power.
