Well, what do you mean by a "massive bill" ?
Well, original bill was like £200 a month but gave updated readings and was reduced to £125 a month. This is for one person living alone, I don't use heating at all, I very rarely cook or even heat up food as I work nights and am pretty bad for ordering food
. Also don't even have a kettle or microwave (been in limbo waiting for a new flatmate to take the other room). That means the only things drawing electricity are my fridge which is less than one year old, my pc, the boiler and a heated tower rack. In my last house I don't think our elec bill ever hit £100 even with 3 gamers in the house, and we used to play together 5 nights a week or so. Hell, even the lights in this house are mostly LED.
So I knew power draw in this flat was high for whatever reason due to old resident being a friend, but I swapped provider after moving in to go with a much cheaper one, this bill I'm dealing with is from old provider. That said, when updating meters I noticed this graph on the new ones website in my account area.
They're investigating, but I'm trying to do what I can to prove the issue isn't with what I'm doing/using.
Yea you would think. The thing is that several virus scanners didn't find anything. And they are programmed smart now : as soon as you open task manager - they stop ! And only reactivate if you close the task manager and let it idle for few.
That's the world we live in now.
Thought that might be the case, howd you remove it?
I have had over 3000w through mine and it still works. That was testing the power draw for one of these electric panel radiators that we were forced to be the guinea pigs for. You haven't seen a crazy electric bill until you have had your house heated with those damn things. They were pulling massively more power than they were supposed to!! Back to computers, I have a Zalman ZM-MFC2 multifunction controller that has live power draw displayed all of the time which is handy.
Thats pretty neat, however like i said I do want to see power draw from the whole set up, have a 2560x1440 144hz 28" and 2 24" 1920x1200 monitors hooked up etc. Thanks for the info on that device, will order one, or 2!
