April 30, 201115 yr Found my handy dandy P3 Kill-a-Watt reader today.Some quick tests with my system (excluding monitor and powered peripherals: speakers, printer, modem, router)All averages...1) CPU only load with P951.62A185w2) Mostly GPU load with Furmark2.8A330w (366 peak observed)3) A mix with 3DMark ll advanced2.6A305wI'm not saying a 400w psu would adequately power my system, but if it weren't for the high end GPU it might have a fighting chance hehe. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
April 30, 201115 yr Probably why dell can get away with putting in either 400 or 375 watt power supplies in.

April 30, 201115 yr And a 10% of that is lost, so the system itself is actually drawing a bit less than that
April 30, 201115 yr Author Interesting thing would be 4.8Ghz power usage. :Big Grin:Probably not a whole lot more... 40-50w if I had to guess. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
