I have a pc with a 1000w power supply. I know 1000w per hour is I think 15 cents. Does it always use its full 1000w or will it run at lower watts when it is idling?
How much money per hour does it take to run a high powered gaming pc?
1000w PSU does not mean that it is supplying 1000w all the time. It means it is capable of providing 1000w. I'd be surprised if you were using a quarter of that, but it depends on your system - i.e., do you have a lot of hardware (multiple hard disks, disk drives, fans, processors etc.)
Reply:as an exaple, use my system,
1010w PSU
Core 2 Quad Q6600 overclocked to 3.6 GHz
2 x 8800 GTX in SLI and overclocked
4GB of DDR2 @ 1200MHz
total of 6 HDDs
X-FI Sound
also running a watercooling loop
i'll sleep a little better at night if it's only 15cents per hour
