The kind of power plant that can power entire cities is, instead, running electricity directly to people like you playing Call of Duty, Metal Gear Rising, or Mortal Kombat. When you use a PC to check social media, send emails, or browse the web, your processor is barely working hard at all. When you use a PC to game, your processor is in peak power mode.
Most hardcore gaming PCs spend approximately 4. Consumer PCs, on the other hand, do not intensively compute, so they only spend about one percent of the time at peak power mode.
Learn from Your Energy Consumption Habits Manufacturers can address the problem of energy consumption by creating efficient PC components. Hard drives, motherboards, and peripherals could all have efficiency ratings. Power Shower. Pressure Cooker. Pressure Washer. Rice Cooker. Roti Maker. Sandwich Grill. Satellite Dish. Set Top Box.

The greater topic of PSU selection — that is, regarding topics beyond wattage — is out-of-scope for this content, but it's worth going over a few basics.
This should hopefully get the conversation of PSU selection started, hopefully spinning-off a few research ideas for PSU shoppers. Each component in the system, no matter how small, requires some amount of power. The main power connections in a system operate on rails of three voltages — 3. Some PSUs run multiple 12v rails, something we talk about here. The motherboard's pin header consists of 3. Some components are powered directly by the PSU, some receive power through the board, and some are a split of the two.
This is another small power reduction, though it's primarily a decision made in favor of noise levels. Depending on the device, this sometimes makes assumptions of other system components — if it's a higher-end GPU, the minimum PSU spec may be assuming higher-end accompanying components, which will draw more power.
It's ultimately the objective of these specs to provide a one-size-fits-all operating range, where almost no one will be under-powering components. This can also mean that the wattage suggestions err a little on the high side for safety. But that's OK, because modern power supplies will draw only as much as required to drive the system. It's not ideal to buy too high on wattage — we sink on the efficiency curve — but it's not going to actively damage anything by purchasing a W PSU and using it with a W draw build.
That'd mostly be an awkward allocation of resources. Patrick Stone :. Some power supplies may be able to output Watts safely for a moment, but can only provide Watts of continuous power. Most of the time the labeled wattage is continuous power.
Michael Kerns :. Efficiency comes into play here, but we'll talk about that in more in the 80 Plus definition. Many users grossly over-estimate the required size of a gaming power supply, so we always suggest running your components through a power supply calculator first though they also over-estimate, in general. Load Power Draw - Maximum power consumption measured during a video card stress test with Furmark being the most popular choice.
These values are most useful in helping you choose your power supply wattage. Today we shall bust a myth on the power consumption of PC components: A solid state drive doesn't necessarily consume less power than a hard disk drive. As you can see from the table above, there is negligible difference in power usage between a SSD and 2.
While 2. That being said, solid state drives still consume less power than 3. The above table indicates the maximum power consumption of optical drives when burning a DVD or Blu-ray disc.
