How much power does a PC actually use? As in, whats the current draw at the mains plug? I have been getting GBH of the earhole regarding the rather high electricity bill and was wondering if running my PC for a large chunk of the day has anything to do with it? I have an Enermax Infiniti 720W PSU and an Intel E6420 cpu and 8800 GTX graphics card. The system seldom works really hard, WOW runs the cpu at 50-60%. Also is there any current draw when the system is on standby as the PSU is still on even if the rest of the system isnt?
So how many amps would I be pulling?
