Quad Core system power consumption ??

Sep 19, 2008 2 Replies

Hi,



I have this motherboard installed with 2 GB RAM, a 250 GB Seagate Baracuda hard disk and LG DVD RW drive.



My power-supply says its 450W. My UPS has a rating of 650 VA (should be around 350 watts).



My display is also plugged into the UPS, which is a LG flatron 19" TFT.



My UPS is not able to support my system during a power fluctuation.



my question is, how do I measure as to how much is my system using from the mains ? That seems to be the only way I could decide on my power usage and then only I can choose the right UPS configuration for my system.



Please suggest...



regards raghav..


Get a power-factor corrected PSU for the PC.
