In HWInfo you can see the power draw of each component, but not the whole system AFAIK. You either need a PSU with monitoring built in or a physical testing device. Answer from AussieJeffProbst on reddit.com

r/pcmasterrace on Reddit: Pc Power Monitor software Recommendations

March 1, 2024 -

Hey everyone,

I'm currently looking for software recommendations that can help me monitor my PC's power consumption and record its performance daily. Specifically, I'm interested in finding a tool that can track when my system's power consumption spikes and provide insights into what activities or processes might be causing those spikes.

Ideally, I'd like the software to offer features such as:

Daily monitoring of power usage. Ability to record power consumption data over time. Analysis of power usage patterns, highlighting peak times.

I'm hoping to optimize my PC's energy efficiency and identify any potential issues that might be contributing to excessive power consumption. Any recommendations or insights into available software solutions would be greatly appreciated!

HWMonitor can display wattage currently drawn by each component. High CPU or GPU usage draws more power, you can monitor what applications are using your resources with task manager. The only thing you can do to min max your efficiency is to use a low wattage CPU, possibly no or a weak GPU, and don't run heavy applications or games and your PC will sip on power

I have a 450W Corsair CX450M and I'd like to see if all my stuff overloads the PSU

No software can show you this kind of information. Get Kill A Watt device and check how much power your machine is drawing from the wall.

Can't. There are a few very high end PSUs that will let you do that, but CX isn't one of them. What's your CPU and GPU?

r/buildapc on Reddit: Are there any softwares that can display your current PSU usage?

February 17, 2019 - Unless your PSU has a monitor built in, then no. There are devices you can plug into the wall between the outlet and your PC that will measure and display the usage though. ... HWMonitor will show the power draw for your CPU and GPU, which are the 2 main contributors. Not sure if there’s something that shows the total of everything though. ... Not unless you have a "smart" or digital model. Corsair's AXi series have software monitoring, same goes with Thermaltake's Toughpower iRGB PLUS.

Hi All,

Since I built my new pc, sometimed I get random reboots (kernel power error 41). I checked everything and my conclusion is that my PSU could be faulty. I would like to monitor the voltage rails over time (12,5, 3.5 volts) and get a report, so I can check if there are any fluctuations in the voltage. Can RGB leds cause such issue?

Specs

CPU: 12th Gen Intel Core i9-12900K
ASRock Z690M PG Riptide/D5 (CPUSocket)
3726GB Seagate ST4000DM004-2CV104 (SATA )
32 GB DDR5 ram
931GB Samsung SSD 980 1TB (Unknown (SSD)
win 10

UPDATE: I replaced the CPU with an INTEL RMA (I have the same CPU now but different serial number) and the CPU cooler. Now I have a noctua D15 . Today I resumed the PC from sleep and the PC rebooted after 2 min.

Back on my old pc I had basically the same issue, the only thing that fixed it for me was disabling a feature in windows 10 called “fast startup”. Your issue could be different but I think that’s worth a try because it’s essentially free.

Is there an app that can monitor the power consumption of my pc?

HWiNFO is a great little program for all computer stats. Highly recommend it

The easiest way to get a measurement for your entire system is to get a power meter (a simple one with the screen, or a smart plug, that has this feature (both should be about 10$ on Amazon). If you don't want to get one of those things - you can download Hwinfo64 and check power consumption of your CPU and GPU, but depending on your system - those can only equal up to only 50% of total power consumption

No. ATX PSUs do not report usage at all, and are largely black-boxes to the rest of the PC.

Nope, they have no data connection to the motherboard so wouldn’t be possible. You can however buy plugs which show the power draw of what’s plugged in.

r/sysadmin on Reddit: Power Consumption Monitoring & Reporting?

November 8, 2018 -

So I'm looking for some help with finding some software that will report on power consumption on our computers.

Is anyone using anything that can feed this info back to some kind of central dashboard with stats/reports?

If so how does it cope with mobile users where they may be using your VPN to work from home in the evening rather than it being a computer left switched on and idle?

All our machines are Dell and almost all are 3-4 years old maximum with Windows 7 or Windows 10.

Computers? You need to be more specific. Traditionally, this is done for datacenter servers with "smart PDUs", which give a power usage reading per plug. Secondarily, many modern out-of-band management controllers like iDRAC/iLO will give consumption numbers on servers. But it sounds to me like you want realtime stats from client machines. I'm not currently aware of any instrumentation in common client machines that will give almost wall-power consumption, but it's possible that such a thing exists. I would expect it to be slightly more likely in laptops, but there you'd get DC-in consumption after the power brick, not wall-outlet consumption numbers. There might be some better ways to accomplish your business goals. You might even find it easier to measure and subtract out all non-computer consumption, thereby arriving at the computer consumption. In one facility with lighting controllers and other smart systems, we did something like this, and subtracting out other special-purpose circuits.

Is anyone using anything that can feed this info back to some kind of central dashboard with stats/reports? This is assuming there is info on power usage, which there is not that I am aware of since the PSU doens't throw back data to the PC. It just gives power.

I have several monitored APC PDUs and they have the ability upload the log files to a server. I am curious if there is a program that can take those logs, and keep a running tally for the power draw for the PDUs, and maybe a total monthly cost for them. The current format is doable, but just to save me time I think it would be helpful to track the total power cost automatically.

November 12, 2023 -

Is there a way to take in account how much watts my pc consumes in a month and store them in a log file or a excell that i can look into? I am on windows 10/11, i know a software called hw monitor that displays a rough amount of instant power consumption but i don't know if i can store it in files automatically. Would be quite useful as i have 5 pc running 24/7 and i wanted to start taking in account how much electricity they consume, even if it is a rough estimate, without using external wattmeters.

The only way I know is to buy a device called Kill A Watt and plug it in between a machine and the wall. It will tell you exactly what the device pulls in a set period of time.

r/pcmasterrace - PSU with monitoring software

August 16, 2019 -

Is there any other PSU brand similar to Corsair HXi series and their Link software?

I really like the way you can see how much wattage the system is drawing and the efficiency based on load.

Why I'm looking for something else? This is the second HX850i I got that has issues.

Asus has one of those 1200W PSU's that show wattage.

https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/asus-rog-thor-1200w-power-supply-review,1.html

Some softwares like HWmonitor also show wattage numbers but they are not fully accurate because they are in the mercy of getting the voltage and amp information from CPU/GPU which is not always accurate.

If you want to know your true power consumption, get one of those wall watt meters.

No, you need to use something like a Kill-A-Watt meter, which plugs into the wall before your computer does.

r/buildapc on Reddit: Safe way to monitor gaming pc power consumption

January 18, 2022 -

Does anyone know of a safe way to monitor the power consumption of my gaming PC and display it in display software like https://grafana.com/. I am aware of software solutions like Open Hardware Monitor these have their downsides. I was planning to use a tp-link p110 smart plug to do this, but a friend of mine said that this is one way to get your house burned down when using a high voltage PSU (i.e. corsair 750w 2019). 🔥😅 I am also aware of the corsair ICLUE 4 software, but the performance PSUs seem to be incompatible with this software. Does anybody know a safe way to get the real-time or weekly power consumption of a gaming PC? Maybe a kill-a-watt switch is better suited?

I use an inexpensive smart plug rated at 16 amps / 2350 watt, plenty for 2 gaming PCs

You're fine with P110, it's rated for 2990W/13A, which is well beyond consumption of 750W gold PSU. Gold would be 87% efficiency at 100% load, so 750/0.87 = 863W drawn from the wall, or less than 1/3rd of P110's rating.

r/buildapc on Reddit: Monitoring the total wattage from apps, if there's any?

October 3, 2023 -

Is there a way or application we can install to monitor the current PSU wattage or total wattage from all parts running on your pc?

you can measure it at the wall very easily with a little plug https://www.amazon.com/Suraielec-Calculator-Protection-Electricity-Electrical/dp/B08GSPLZBN/ you cant separate power usage by app tho, either in hardware or software

there isn't. you can check cpu power and gpu power, but that isn't the whole system power or even the whole graphics card power for example. to get the most accurate easy to get system power, so the total power from all the applications you are running, you need a power meter. a power meter will tell you the power , that you pull from the wall, BUT that is NOT the power, that the system is consumer, but rather the power, that the powersupply is using. you then need to multiply that number with efficiency of powersupply at the load and THEN you get the best estimate of your powerconsumption. example to follow: 750 watt psu, computer running prime 95 + furmark = 500 watt from the wall. psu has 92% efficiency at 400-600 watts. so 500 *0.92 = 460 watts. so 460 watt usage of the system and 500 watt from the wall (psu wattage used) the powermeter i got was i think like 20 euros and is good enough.
