Question about PSU power usage

storm45 · 29 Nov 2015 at 22:33

Hi,

I've got an old gaming PC which has a Corsair Enthusiast Series TX 750W V2 High Performance Power Supply, I don't use this PC for gaming now and instead use it as a server for Plex and all my media storage.

My question is, if I were to get a 'Green' 350W PSU will there be a difference in power consumption as the PC/Server is on 24/7. Or does the 750W PSU use only the power consumed by the attached components?

I hope this makes sense and any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

oh ok. You're right I was talking about the superflower, I just don't know if its worth the change. Do you think it would make a big difference considering the PC/Server is on 24/7?

thanks

thanks for the info, I think for now I'll stick with the 750w as there isn't a huge difference.

appreciate all your help guys
