    Power Supply Questions

    Are there any programs that tell you how much each of your cards/fans/everything else takes up? If so where do I get them? Thanks people.

    Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but not sure where to put it....

    OK Kruzin, I guess you have a point there....

      Nope! The only way to measure how much power is drawn (current) is by direct measurement.

        You could read the power specs on each component in your computer and add them up. Even if it doesn't have the Wattage on it, all you need is the voltage and current...Power(Watts) = Volts x Amps(curent)

        A direct measurement would be much easier though.
