You wouldnt know what a troll was if it had its fangs in your lard arse, child.

You already used that one. If you're going to use insults so regularly,
you need more variety.

And you are Crocodile Dundee on the Internet?
behind 'John Doe' starts shrieking 'troll' whenever anyone rubs
his nose in the basics...

Everyone shrieks "troll" at you.

If you weren't so repetitive, you might be entertaining. But then
you would be intelligent enough to at least realize you are a troll.

No need to ask if you are a terminal ****wit, that stands out like dogs balls.

Lying, as always. Plenty dont.

Your choice of language gives you away. This is a serious technical ng, not
a kindergarten. Anyone can intervene and make correction to posts, but you
chose to do it in an offensive way; that makes you a troll.

Actually, Rod hasn't made any corrections, unless "that's wrong" is a
correction.

You're reading too much into this. I didn't mean that Rod had made any
'positive' corrections, only in his own mind.

Never ever could bullshit its way out of a wet paper bag.

I showed where you can get a decent list
of power consumption for hard drives, ****wit.

How much mains power does a modern systen unit need?

----

In more detail ... I am in the UK.

My existing PC (socket-A 462-pin cpu with 768 MB SD-RAM) uses about 180
Watts at 240 volts of which about 65 or 70 Watts is to power my CRT.
Printers and scanners would be extra.

Modern cpu's seem to be quite power hungry.

QUESTION: Approx how much mains power is likely to be needed for a
modern mid-range AMD-based PC? I don't know the existing AMD processors
but something average to middling is what I mean.

QUESTION: Would a sysem based on an Intel cpu need less power?


You have these measuring devices, like the Voltcraft Energy check
3000, you put between the wall outlet and the mains plug. That way
you can measure the real used power.
Take out a HD, and see the difference...take out some memory and see
the difference.
http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/anton/computer-power-consumption.html
has a lot of data.
This voltcraft is a neat thing...

Didn't run it (the calc), but did read the page.

Our supplies had 100% proper continuous load ratings.

We would never make a supply operation declaration label that
declared peak wattage, unless the supply was custom, like an ionizer
supply or such.

Our LVDC supplies were a rated rail at a given wattage with a
voltage variance (regulation) of a declared amount, and a ripple of a
declared amount at that full load (ripple spec).

It doesn't get much simpler, but reminds me of the false
declarations made by car stereo folks in the 70's. You get what you
pay for, and you have to research what you buy.

Life is simple. We build things for our use. One must not
over-complicate the techno devices in life. Go with the flow.
