Hey guys,
I recently build myself the following rig:
Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 2GB
Seagate Barracuda 1 TB Desktop internal hd
Asus DRW-24B5ST Internal Optical drive
MSI ZH77A-G41 Motherboard
Intel Core i5-3470
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8 GB (2 x4gb)
corsair gs600
and also managed to get a high electricity bill. So I backtracked all my electricity units and came to the conclusion that my CPU not counting the monitor uses about 500W. I game only like 20% of the time, but the rest of the time i am just browsing the net. So my question is how much power does my CPU use when i am not gaming?
