Power Consumption

Hello dear forum members! Recently upgraded from a 3060 ti to a 3080 FE. My 3060 ti consumed 50 W while idle which seemed a reasonable amount due to my 3 monitors setup, all of them being 1080p, 2x60 hz and 1x 390hz. But now this 3080 FE consumes between 107-108 W, where 107 W is the...

A quick question about the Amazon firestick. I have recently plugged a TV into a Tapo smart plug with power monitoring capabilities. I noticed that when watching live TV from the aerial, the TV consumes about 57 Watts. However when I switch to the firestick, the power consumption increases to...

Is anyone aware of any benchmarks/stats on the specific wattage for the different SSD configurations on silicon MBPs (M1/2/3)? Would like to know the power usage numbers comparing 1TB -> 2TB -> 4TB -> 8TB Would also be great to know if there are any stats on battery life per configuration.

I have a Corsair RM750i 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply, I have owned it for 5 years now without any hiccups. I did a motherboard upgrade recently and this mobo of mine has an additional 4 pin ATX connector which is only used by "extreme" overclockers and only for extreme...

Hey, so, I live in a rural place and have VERY slow internet. Because of this, in order to download large games and files I will leave my pc on overnight to download, sometimes for a few days in a row. Since I have to do this quite often, I worry about wear and tear on my system. I was wonder...

Hello there So i build this brand new system yesterday, mainly for HTPC usage (Watching videos, Etc.). I installed windows and it boot up flawlessly but i noticed that the GPU heatsink is very warm even at idle condition. So i opened GPU-Z and saw high core temperature of 54 celcius and power...

Can't find information on this. Where power consumption is tested it's with a cpu on it and not isolated. Does anyone know the answer?

Monitors can run without power supplies off Thunderbolt ports. As can external HDD enclosures. Do Thunderbolt compatible monitors if connected to a Thunderbolt motherboard, then add load to the PSU, and how much? Thunderbolt seems to transmit less watts than large monitors with power cables...

Hi, I wonder if anyone could shed some light on idle power draw of 13th gen. I can only find one chart online that shows it at 10W higher than 12th gen. My current 9700k idles at ~7W CPU Package Power (0.5 IA + 6.5 RoC). I'm asking since I got burnt once with 5900x which was touted as very...

I'm planning on building a NAS and already got the case and drives. I'm wondering whether I can set the Power Limit to a reduced value, like default is 65 Watt for Long Term, but if I could set it to 35 Watt it would essentially turn the CPU into a T version ? Or do I need to buy a T version...

Suppose there are two laptop having specs: Laptop A: Alienware x15 rtx 3070 & 11800H processor having PL1=PL2=140watt (Specs) Laptop B: Alienware x17 rtx 3080 & 11800H processor having PL1=PL2=165watt Default TDP@base for 11800H is 45W. I know that when PL2=PL1 with having infinite Tau then...

I'm trying to see what my watt usage for my entire system currently and wondering if there was an easy way to see an estimate of this. I've read a couple posts about viewing this with HWiNFO64 but the posts were a bit confusing to me and still not 100 percent clear on how to estimate total...

The Core i9-12900K harbors the same performance a Pentium 4 HT clocked at 241.3 GHz would produce. *Core i9-12900K Score - 2956 points Pentium 4 HT @ 3.06 GHz Score - 37.5 points Pentium 4 HT @ 1.0 GHz Score - 12.25 points *Pentium 4 HT @ 241.3 GHz Score - 2956 points Dividing 2956 by 12.25...

Hi , I'm looking at building an extremely budget mini itx PC with salvaged components and NO GPu. The only new item I will be buying is a small form factor case with an integrated 180W PSU. I've read that the PSU should have 40%-50% headroom with the estimated wattage on PC Part Picker as...

I have an asus rog rx 570 4gb which i bought second hand a year ago and since a few months, my power usage keeps dropping whenever my gpu is at a 100% utilization, whenever i try to mine/play games at high settings my power consumption will go to a 120W and then drop suddenly to 25W making my...

Hi, I am wondering can my PSU handle 4 x GPUs? I've bought my 4th GPU for mining. For now, the PSU is stable with 2 RX 470 4GB and 1 GTX 1060 3GB, but if I add one more GTX 1060 6GB to the system will it be enough? PSU model is...

Hi everyone, Hope you all are keeping well. I'm planning to build my new rig in 2021 Q1. It'll be a fairly powerful as I'm planning to also use it as my homelab for learning and work along with gaming. Because of the nature of the VMs, it'll need to be on 24/7 (minus the maintenance time). My...

Hi, Just a quick general question. The GPU I am looking at, the RTX 3070, needs two 8 pin connections. I have a PSU with one PCI-E cable with two 6+2 pin connectors on the end. Will this suffice? Or do GPUs with two 8 pin connections need more than one PCI-E cable? Or is one cable with two...

How much power does an Ryzen 5 1400 consume at full load? How much does it consume overclocked. I couldn't find this info anywhere but I'm not sure if pcpartpicker is correct at 65 Watts.

I've been trying to search in google for too long and i can't find a solution for this. My 1050 ti idles at 35W even with reinstalling windows, updating drivers and no applications. The tdp of my card is 75W so it almost idles at 50% of it's power. I saw some in the forums that their gtx 1060...

Sorry if this is poorly structured, I'm currently stuck on my phone for this. To start things off, I installed my H115i Pro yesterday, but it failed (the pump wouldn't turn on), so I just removed it and stuck my Noctua NH-D15 in. When I got home today, I decided I would grab an old PSU, jump...

Hello... plz help. First of all, sorry for the broken english, I haven't written much in english recently and I don't know most of the tech terms but I'll make a great effort to make it readable.

For example: Can a 600w psu can draw 400w of power from a ups that is rated 650va 360w? If it can will it damage the ups? What will happen to ups if electricity goes off?

Good night all. I was thinking about buying a rx580 for his cxb, but I know this gpu must need a 600W psu to run safe. I was looking at gtx1660 too, it can't be Soo cxb than 580, but it has more power efficiency, needs a 450W psu. My question is: there gonna be much difference on electricity...

I'm curious to see how many watts other peoples components draw. I know this isn't insane, but 201w seems like a lot for a card I bought for $89. https://ibb.co/G2H5KmF

Hello! Right now I have a 15" gaming laptop that I did not buy new and am thinking about upgrading to something more beastly. The machine I have now looks like it has two slots for those SSD sticks and then another slot for a HDD. My question is when I get the bigger more powerful machine can...

So I want to order a Radeon VII but I noticed it has two 8-pin power connectors. I've had a 290x for years, and the power consumption seems to be exactly the same as Radeon VII at 295 watts, but the 290x has an 8-pin and a 6-pin, which is all my power supply has. The 6-pin connectors can...

I'm currently trying to decide which card to buy. I've watched multiple benchmarking videos and the differences aren't really significant. I guess the RX 580 is slightly better, but what bothers me is the power consumption of this card. It's said to be at least 65 watt higher than the GTX 1060...

Hi, im thinking of getting a ROG STRIX RTX 2070 Overclocked edition but its bigger than my motherboard, would it still work or does the gpu have to be smaller than my mobo.

Hi, My (Windows 10) machine fails when gaming. After approximately 10 min it crashes. Since I expect that the GPU is failing I ran the FurMark test and after 1 min dots start to develop and then my computer crashes. Is there a way to test GPU and CPU separately ? Thanks !
