can you tell me how much power smps will take from wall outlet ?

[Aaryan_21]

hello, I am worried that my antec vp450p will consume more power and hence increase my energy bill .
pc spec..-
CPU-Pentium G4560

MB-ga h110m-s2

MONITOR- HP 22ES

RAM-Corsair value select 2133 ram(2*4)

CABINET- antec gx200

HDD-wd 1 tb 7200 rpm

DVD DRIVE- asus 24D5MT

SMPS- antec vp450p

Thanks

Power supplies don't take an instant 450w as soon as the PC is turned on. When the PC goes under load, it will pull as much as it needs from the wall, not as much as the power supply can handle.

You can do some napkin math and figure out how much your system will pull under 100% load, and that would be a good place to start. The only real way to test wattage from the wall is with some kind of measuring device (google searching here will help you out a lot).

If you're not planning to do many things that would send your system to full load, then you probably don't have much to worry about.

The PSU will only consume as much power as your system requires, so how much it uses over a given period depends on how long you use your PC each day.

I have my doubts about your system consuming more than 100W. The GFX card(dedicated) is usually the hungriest component.

Do you really want to know? https://www.amazon.com/P3-International-P4460-Electricity-Monitor/dp/B000RGF29Q will tell you.

yeah I know my pc total power is 130-150 watt using pcpartpicker site.but I read somewhere that your smps should not be too big .If it is than there is no value for 80% efficiency .and your pc will pull more power.

thanks, I will be using 4 to 5 hours per day maximum. And maybe in future i will add gpu .

thank you sir.

MB-ga h110m-s2 = 54 watts

MONITOR- HP 22ES = 21 watts

RAM-Corsair value select 2133 ram(2*4) = 6 watts

CABINET- antec gx200 = 5 watts

HDD-wd 1 tb 7200 rpm = 8 watts

DVD DRIVE- asus 24D5MT = 8 watts

102 watts x 36 hours / week x 52.17 weeks x $0.1322 (avg US energy costs) / (1000 watts per kw x 85% eff) = @ $30 a year

And that assumes that CPU is maxed out all the time so will be less.
