^^^^ either u can calculate the max total pwr usage or if ur ups came with any monitoring software then u can monitor current pwr draw thru that software.

TDP of your processor is 95W. So the CPU+Mobo will consume more than that.
To find out, try-

BTW, do you want the consumption to be less than 113W?:eek:
