Power Consumption of PCs

[jundogg]

hello.

just wanna ask kung gaano ba kalakas ang consumo sa kuryente ng isang personal computer? like how much kaya per hour?

i tried using meralco's electricity calculator pero di naman lahat ng appliances na gamit namin eh nandun eh. so i wanna break it down to my PC nalang.

thanks po

[moe]

good question. i'd like to know how to do that too.

depende sa klase/components ng computer mo.

Baka makatulong to since nasa cafe biz ako. Etong computation ko nung January hindi kasi ako gumamit ng aircon kasi sobrang lamig ng panahon dito. Yung 12 hrs na bukas ang isang computer kumukunsumo lang ng 20-25 pesos.

Specs:

Athlon XP 2.8
512mb DDR
128mb VGA
17" CRT Monitor

syu > sa cafe: mas maganda talagang direchong bukas nalang ang pc than patay-buhay?

siyempre iba ang case sa personal/bahay use

hmm. here's my specs if im not mistaken:

athlon 1.2
256 ram
64mb vga
15" crt

yup, napaghuhulihan na ako ng technology. but im only using it for documents and browsing lang naman. di ako nag-ge-games.

anyway, so linawin ko lang about dun sa 12 hrs thing...
is that 20-25 petot per hour (na nakabukas ang isang pc) o sa buong dose oras ay 20-25 lang?

salamat!

Hindi advisable yung laging nakabukas kasi hindi mo naman alam kung kelan darating ang kostumer mo.

Diretsong 12 hrs.

[alwayz_yummy]

ok...so tama pala ginagawa ko-->pagkabukas, di pa muna ko nagbubukas ng pc--pero pag may customer na, no patayan na til closing..

[jundogg]

wow! mura lang pala. 25 pesos per 12 hours na nakabukas.

pero nagtataka padin ako bakit malaki billing namin sa kuryente....

Here's a rig from the office.

Specs:
Core 2 Duo E6600 (Socket 775, 2.4GHz, 4MB L2 cache)
ASUS P5LD2 SE board (i945P)
2 GB DDR2 RAM
Palit Radeon X800GTO with 256MB RAM
Realtek 8169 ethernet card
1 250GB SATA hard disk
1 DVD-ROM drive
1 DVD-RW drive
400W power supply

Power consumption ranges 90 - 96 Watts idle under WinXP, 150 - 165 Watts when loaded or busy (playing games, DVD burning, compiling).

CRT Monitors power consumption ranges from 70 - 110 Watts. While LCD Monitors 40 - 50 Watts.


Hope this helps.

thanks sir,

pero magkano ba watts per hour?

[WhiteJack]

Php 4.6942 per kilowatthour (kwh) daw sir ang rate ng meralco this september.

I think that is just the generation charge, you still have to consider the transmission charge, generatioin charge, system loss, subsidies, etc. It actually doubles your billing. I checked my Sept billing, if you divide the total charge by the no of KWH, it comes to 10.7 per kilowatthour.

Suggest you turn on your energy star settings. Puwede ring i-off ang monitor kapag di naman ginagamit. Kung meron kang mga external peripherals - printer, external hard drives, additional power din yon.

Ang gamit ko ngayon ay Mac computer, mga 90-120 watts lang for the whole computer. I don't turn it off anymore pero I set the energy saver settings para mag-off ang monitor after 15 minutes na idle.

hmmm. mukang nagiging complicated na yata ang computation with these.

i think ill just stick with 20-25 pesos per 12 hours

para sa aking kung home use lang naman at hindi ka naman nakaOL sa tsikot, better to shutdown your pc to save energy... crt consumes more power than lcd's... better change your monitor to save energy na din. in my estimate para ka lang may extra 21" na tv na nakabukas if your using your pc... so minimal pa din ang babayaran o gastos.

2 post... sorry mods.. paki delete na lang po... tnx!

I think heavy CPU usage will increase your power consumption. especially when your converting HD movies.

im thinking about changing my crt to lcd. kaya lang 7,000+ ang pinakamura. presyo palang ay, pang tatlong buwan na monthly bills na. =)
average kasi namin P2000. kelangan pa magtipid-tipid.

worth kaya ang lcd? parang inadvance ko ang gastos ko though makakatipid ako in the long run. hmmm....

[alwayz_yummy]

9-11 pesos na all-in ang per kwh ha!
