In my case should be around 1kWh (per PC) in a day x 2 PC = 2kWh * 356 = 712 in a year = ~130 euro. 10 watts = around 30 euro. Yeah, you are right, it's not that much. It's just strange to see max 42 watts in games at 100% load and 22 watts at 1% load.

I never paid attention to power consumption and I always thought that CPU power consumption is very low at minimal load (sub 10 watts like GPU has 7 watts), but turns out I was wrong. It's not that critical for me to change CPU/PC. I just wanted to know if there is any way to lower power...

I understand. Question was about "minimal load" where CPU usage is 0-3%. Even if I will close everything (except HWMonitor) and task manager/performance shows 0-1% CPU usage, CPU will use same 22 watts. Clocks and voltage is down, but power consumption is same 22 watts. I assume wattage will...

95% of time my PC is pretty much idling (max I am doing is watching some youtube videos, or twitch streams). HWMonitor shows that GPU uses around 7 Watts (what seems fine to me), but CPU 22 Watts, so I decided to look what can be done to lower CPU power consumption. I tried to underclock and...

Hi, I want to buy motherboard for Ryzen 5 5600 Is it possible that PRIME B450-PLUS will have latest bios and will work with ryzen 5000 series out of the box?

Basically all options listed above should work right? If they are not listed in QVL, it doesn't mean they are not supported. Just not tested. So I can pick any RAM with 3600 with CL(16 or 18), lowest price and don't worry, right?

Oh, I made mistake there. Yeah, I need 32GB 2x16, but there was 2x8. Removed from list. I was looking for 32GB kits with 3200 and 3600. I know almost nothing about CL and how to OC RAM. Usually I only enable XMP. In one video I saw that 5600 struggles with RAM above 3600 CL16. It's true? I...

Hi, I need RAM for build: - Ryzen 5 5600 - GIGABYTE B550M AORUS ELITE I heard that wrong choice of ram can lead to different problems, so i decided to ask you guys which one should I buy.

RX 580 Talking about GPU, as I understand SAM can work also with older GPU's (officially not supported), right? But this boost of performance is only in games, or? I heard that AMD builds are very sensitive to RAM choice and bad choice can lead to random glitches, crashes and so on...

Performance of 5600 is pretty much the same as 5600X, but 5700X is quite faster cuz has extra cores. Yes, in games performance should be very close, but I will use it for game development. I can get 5600 for €123, 5600G for €113 and 5600X for €160. Yeah, it makes sense to pick 5600, as it has...

Hi, I need advice. Can't decide which CPU (and mobo + ram) to buy. Currently I have i7-2600K (amazing CPU) and it still does the job, but I feel that it's time to upgrade as even 100 euro CPU will be 4 times faster than my current one. Budget for CPU + Mobo + 32GB RAM + CPU Cooler is around 350...

Problem solved. GPU BIOS was modded and had to update mobo bios.

thermal throttle? I am running HWMonitor pretty much all the time and for now highest temp i have seen was 74 degrees. mobo problem? I have MSI Z68A-GD65 G3 mobo. You think mobo can't handle GPU on default clocks and decreasing these: 1360 to 1300 and memory clock from 1750 to 1600 can...

Long story short... 2 years ago i bought used ASUS RX580 4GB (after mining). From beginning card was randomly crashing under load (when playing games). Crash = screen turns into one random color and audio loops. But there is fix... I had to slightly down-clock from 1360 to 1300 and memory clock...
