Best Power Supply Calculator I've Seen

Literally has all CPUs and video cards on the market to select, as well as everything down to how many fans you have and if there's watercooling!

Very nice! Now I know it's my PSU holding me back from going over 3ghz. It makes complete sense to me too, there is quite a large jump in wattage going over 3ghz according to the calculator.

glad to see it helped

upping cpu voltage can actually make a significant difference

newconroer · Nov 16, 2007

Is there something different from this one that's been posted before?

It says my system takes 337 watts...

Hah, now when is someone going to make an online amperage calculator.

No.

My system takes 468W according to the calculator

nflesher87 · Nov 16, 2007

oh I've never seen one this thorough posted
they seem pretty accurate to me, and I like how you can input your exact overclock (clock and voltage) as well

Beertintedgoggles · Nov 16, 2007

I've actually used that site ever since my Athlon XP-M setup, mostly just for ballpark numbers regarding my CPU overclocks. However, after performing actual measurements on my systems using both a Fluke current clamp and the on screen display of my APC UPS, the peak power draw as stated on the site is way over the actual number. True this site gives the recommended PSU wattage so it could be taking into account the extra draw on the 12V rail, but I wouldn't use it as concrete fact. My system draws 280 watts at its absolute max (running 3dMark06 for almost full SLI utilization while running Orthos in the backround to use up any free CPU cycles on both cores).

There is also a pro version of the PSU calculator on their site that will give you the amps per rail but you have to pay for it.

Good find..... very useful indeed!

Actually, this isn't always the case. I used to have an AMD Opteron 148 that could do 3.1GHz easy, but after a while I noticed I could no longer get there. In fact, I had to go all the way down to 2.95 GHz to get stable. Turned out that between the high and low, I had upgraded the video card once or twice, and that extra power draw was limiting my overclock. The PSU rails weren't keeping up anymore.

This calculator has been around for a whle, but a few months back they came up with the Pro version of this calculator, and it does do the amperage calculations for you. However, the pro version has a small nominal fee. If you get the lifetime usage pack, you can use it for 200 years! The author guaranteed me that if you lived longer than that, he's extend the membership for you

I meant upping cpu voltage can make a significant difference in power consumption

t_ski · Nov 16, 2007

Thanks for clarifying. I sounded like you were saying the CPU voltage would help his OC. :laugh:

Recommended PSU Wattage: * 972 Watts

That's if I don't upgrade anymore lol

DreamSeller · May 9, 2009

ty very much

Recommended PSU Wattage: 373 watts

D

crazy pyro · May 9, 2009

This is in the PSU guide thread, it also states specifically that it over estimates the power consumption.

Mussels · May 9, 2009

last time i used this, it over estimated my PC's power usage by 200W.

kurosagi01 · May 9, 2009

i've used that website a lot to show the estimate wattage lol and its estimated 385w with my system lol

Mussels · May 9, 2009

the only power calculator i trust is this one

http://bakkap.free.fr/Misc/wCalc.html

handy tool. the only problem is that it goes by whatever knowledge you have... AMD and intel dont exactly release accurate power consumption figures.

sweeper · May 9, 2009

Recommended PSU Wattage: *378

DrPepper · May 9, 2009

Mines takes up 600 watts apparently and I have less than you guys

I remember this tool I've used it before but not recently.

Darknova · May 9, 2009

560W

amit_talkin · May 9, 2009

538w for me :eek:

FordGT90Concept · May 9, 2009

My server is 617w, has Enermax Revolution 85+ 850w PSU.
My desktop is 463w, has Enermax Liberty 620w PSU.

t_ski · May 9, 2009

I use the pro version now, and IIRC the last few systems I built all required 900+ watts, and the last one was 74 amps!

MoonPig · May 9, 2009

Wow, i only need 330w ... Nice.
