Computer Power Supply Usage

**Freeview** · 01-14-2009, 01:10 PM

If we have any computer geeks on here this site will calculate how much power your pc will need if you want to build your own or check how much power it is using.

Just fill in all the spec details of your pc ranging from how many cd/dvd drives you have, PCI cards to cpu speed and other components.

I did a rough idea on mine and it came out at roughly 386 watts of power been used and i have a 500watt PSU in.

This is also good if you need to replace the PSU unit.
