Estimation of Power Consumption

[jimlwk]

Hi guys, anyone able to advise how to estimate the kWh that my rig is contributing to the electrical bill every month? My rig specs is on the right.

Most of the time, I put it to sleep. When it's on, it's about 6 hours on the weekdays and almost 12 hours during weekends.

If you want to manually calculate, first you gotta guess how much out of the 650W your PC is drawing.

This is SP services' estimate based on a 300W draw, at 8 hours average a day:

Based on my Kill A Watt meter. The rest you calculate yourself.

I have a i7 4770k non oced + msi gtx970 Golden edition the other time.

On sleep mode total power consumption including monitor on sleep mode. 5w.

On system idle mode it should be 67w

Max gaming load is around 290w.

The rest you calculate ba. But i can tell you it is very negligible, in a month the most you are paying around $25-$40 depending on how much you game and the amount of gpus you use.
