Just wanted to get clear idea of wants getting used in my pc when gaming on-line , I have 2 cards in my pc and want find out how close I am to my limit .

I think they don't exist still... because each component would have to have a part on circuit dedicated to reading/displaying.

the newer graphics cards 7 series amd etc.. might already have that but your soundcard and RAM wont, I dont think there are any Motherboards doign more than just the Main Rails.

THere might be something to calculate how many Watts stuff uses over a given hour... Ive forgotten all the maths but they are basic calculations. not monitoring tho

A plug mounted monitor would be what you need really. more accurate than pc sensors.
