Watts?

Hi,
I was just wondering how i can figure out how much watts my computer is comsuming. Is it the amount of watts my power supply is. My power supply is 680watts, so is my computer comsuming 680watts. Also is there a program that i can get that will measure the amount of volts and watts.


Thx

Hi there.
No because your psu is 680w it doesn't mean your pc is using all that power.
Check out the link.

Link was outdated.
This one will do.

If you have APC brand UPS connected to ur pc their software will tell you how much watts is used at any particular time and its real time.
