Good work m8.

At 100% peak, it says I need 543w

Wow.

That also takes into account surge(20%) / cap aging (15%)

Although my PSU is only a few months old, so I guess this is worste case scenario!

Hahaha... recommended PSU Wattage 998 W with 20% surge and 15% capacitor aging... just about right there

Your PSU calculator's got my vote!!!

I need 425 Watts @100% PSU utilization and 15% capacitator aging and 20% surge compensation. My crap Rosewill PSU is 500Ws. It just does the job.

i only need 295W....
my system is not so big

Only 295W? Even with taking the OC'd CPU into the equation? wow.

Wow my computer uses 363 watts with 20% surge and 15%cap aging. I've only got a Generic 350W lol. And i leave my computer on most of the time. I'm amazed

I just don't like this calculator at all. It's not for extreme either. It's all based on
water cooling kits, there's no Physx Card. And plus - this really p**ses me off -
8800 GTX never seems to be included stuff like this (and benchmarks too). In fact,
I think it's a complete and utter waste of time this. Just buy a decent PSU and ur sorted.
I mean if you're gonna fork out on a series piece of kit, get a serious kick ass PSU.
Don't get a cheapo, cos you're asking for trouble and some smoke haha!

I checked this out, thinking that it makes a handy guide, but I guess at the end of the day, there's no substitute for experience, I mean ACTUALLY building stuff yourself and finding out it doesn't work, etc.

That aside, I was wondering if this thread is really just an advert?

Rhort said:
I used the calculator quite often while full functionality was 100% free. Then they started splitting functionality into a "free" version and a "pro" subscription version. It remains reasonably useful, but I just never felt right recommending it unconditionally after that.

Regardless, any power consumption calculator tool should continue to be used to assist planning, not define it,

There's nothing like digging into your specs, taking some real-world measurements, and "getting your hands dirty" to obtain actually meaningful information. Motherboard designers have multiple power management components at their disposal, and they don't all approach it the same way.


Here are a couple others with different approaches, and different stages of implementation. Not as sophisticated, but then again, when you're working with estimating, sometimes too much sophistication, clever tools, and over-reliance on someone else's assumptions and data will end up screwing you over.
