Anybody here checks the power consumption on their PC on idle and in power off status
Some numbers will be appreciated
As i have a 0.22Amp power draw on my main rig while off
0.04Amp on secondary rig
And 0.17Amp on me freenas server

exactly my point power consumption is off its rocks
need better hardware to test
but i am able to light up a 240V light bulb in series with the PC while it is off
so a lot of power

from the wall using a multimeter in series with the PC set on Amps
so no confusion there
my voltage is 243V at soket

will get a plugin watt meter
i wonder if it will be of any good
10% tolerance will be ok with me
as long as it tells me with some accuracy what is going on
and yes i have cut the kettle pug and fixed the wires in a terminal stripe

well i am pleasantly surprised
the watt meter is reading 1W from the PC while off
the amperage is read as 0.21Amps but Wats as 1W
Have tested with a 0.85Amp phone charger and reads consumption of 4Watts
It is time to retire from electronics or get a guru to explain the reason

thank you all
