How much power does your computer use?

253W! i'm using 380W with 24a

i ran a few times. varied from 368w to 375w. i guess i'm good with a 430w. can't tell how accurate that thing is though.

It said I need a 257W...I'm currently running a 500W with dual +12V and 20A on each, with a combined 29A.

What? it should have PII, oh well. IT probably uses hardly any more power than the fan to cool it . I have a 200w PSU in my HP, so according to that thing I shouldn't add the hard drive I want to add. I probably shouldn't be so picky, but then have too little power is not good.

it said i need 700w!!!!

i doubt it, unless you have dual cpu and i don't mean just dual core.
single processer covers dual core cpu's on that calculator.

Last I checked I was 430watts, but that was when I had a 400w power supply. Now I am covered with a 550w PSU.

I take it you're not loading everything when taking that reading.

says i need a 243w and I'm running an old 250. Might need to upgrade when i get my graphics card

195W seems pretty normal... I dont see why youre making such a big deal out of it.
