Typical mains power for mid-range PC?

You have these measuring devices, like the Voltcraft Energy check 3000, you put between the wall outlet and the mains plug. That way you can measure the real used power. Take out a HD, and see the difference...take out some memory and see the difference. http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/ant...nsumption.html has a lot of data. This voltcraft is a neat thing... Nice web page. |

Jon D wrote: How much mains power does a modern systen unit need? ---- In more detail ... I am in the UK. My existing PC (socket-A 462-pin cpu with 768 MB SD-RAM) uses about 180 Watts at 240 volts of which about 65 or 70 Watts is to power my CRT. Printers and scanners would be extra. Modern cpu's seem to be quite power hungry. QUESTION: Approx how much mains power is likely to be needed for a modern mid-range AMD-based PC? I don't know the existing AMD processors but something average to middling is what I mean. QUESTION: Would a sysem based on an Intel cpu need less power? |

http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/ Didn't run it (the calc), but did read the page. Our supplies had 100% proper continuous load ratings. We would never make a supply operation declaration label that declared peak wattage, unless the supply was custom, like an ionizer supply or such. Our LVDC supplies were a rated rail at a given wattage with a voltage variance (regulation) of a declared amount, and a ripple of a declared amount at that full load (ripple spec). It doesn't get much simpler, but reminds me of the false declarations made by car stereo folks in the 70's. You get what you pay for, and you have to research what you buy. Life is simple. We build things for our use. One must not over-complicate the techno devices in life. Go with the flow. |
