See power consumption in Linux?

[NextMarcus]

How can the power consumption of a laptop be monitored from Linux?

 

Windows has a MSi control center that allows monitoring power consumption in real time. Can it be done in Linux somehow?

Does it show up in sensors?

 

What sensor is this?

Same way as everything else:
With a Powermeter.

 

In Europe you can get cheap stuff that kinda works thrown at you for like 10€ or so...

Even MSI Control Center doesn't show you power consumption.

 

As Stefan said, get a power meter to plug between the wall and the PC.
