Power Consumption of PCs

[rion]

wiki says Intel Cores has lesser power consumption.

I leave my pc Pentium4 Prescott oc* 3.52Ghz 24/7 for more than 2 years.

so how much do I consume each year?

energy saver is not so perfect though, I had my monitor toasted because of relying to energy saver. and I notice there is still small heat felt even the monitor is in sleep mode. so better switch it off manualy.

di ba most common na power supply eh 300 watts na? nacoconsume ba lahat yun? parang malakas din sa kuryente ang pc. kasi dati nasira pc ko almost 2 months di me nakagamit we got less than 300 sa power bill namin. (ave. 4 hrs daily useage)

400W na ngayon

Here's my rig:

AMD Athlon 64 3200
1GB RAM
NVidia GeForce 6800GS
3 Harddisks (1 SATA, 2 IDE)
2 DVD Writers
1 PCTV Tuner card

On the status screen of my APC UPS, it shows that I'm using around 175W of power. This includes the following peripherals that are also plugged into the UPS:

1 laptop
13W table lamp
LinkSys WRT54G wireless router
DSL modem
Altec Lansing 4.1 speaker
Cordless phone

^^^^ di ba dapat kasama na din sa computation ang UPS ,kasi additional load din ito

Ilan watts ba ang consumption ng 800va na UPS?

Well, pag sinabi po na 300Watts Power Supply, it doesn't mean it consumes 300Watts everytime it's plugged in. 300Watts po ang capacity nito, you can connect devices here upto 300Watts load.

Pag nagkabit kayo ng appliances more than the PS's maximum capacity.... malamang puputok yan.

Ilan watts ba ang consumption ng 800va na UPS?

Depende sa power factor ng ikakabit mo. Para safe, up to 500 Watts na load lang.

Power consumed is the sum of the power used by the UPS it self Plus the power of the load.

300 Watts on the assumption na gamit mo lahat ng max current sa lahang ng mga outputs nito.

Iyong mga may power hungy rigs, di masyadong importante kung ilan Watts ang power supply. Ang tinitignan nila ay kung ilan ang current ang kaya ng isang rail (output). Specifically the +5V and +12V, pati na rin ang + 3.3V.

Kung alam mo ang total current consuption sa bawat output, puwede mo ma compute ang power out ng power supply. Pero ang input ng power supply ay depende naman sa efficiency nito, about 70% or higher.

So kung may power supply na na 80% efficient, tapos ang consuption mo is 80 Watts, ang mararamdaman ng metro mo ay 100 Watts.

yun pong watt or comsumo ng ating pc is 12v po same ng 50w na incandescent light (bombilya) at maglalabas po ito ng 12v kung ang monitor mo is sa cpu naka load., if not 12v cpu + monitor. mahina lang po ang consumo ng isang pc. just an opinion.

Sorry di kita maintindihan.

Sa mga CRT monitors mahina na ang mga 60 Watts, depende pa sa laki and technology nito ang power consuption.

On the average it’ll be 100W… monitor, power supply and other peripherals.
To compare it’s consumption, 20W compact bulb is less consuming than that of a 100W for a certain given time.

btw, those free power supply when you buy the PC casing doesn't really give the watts it claims to be.

my first power supply toasted after using 24/7 for a month. then another just a week. kaya in my third, bumili na ako ng branded 350 watts and it's already running 24/7 for more than 2 years without any problems. with once a month cleaning maintanance.

though new intel has lesser consumption and heat... so I guess those freebie power supply will be enough...

nice infos...
