consumtion  Last response: in Systems  I don't know it this is
the right place to ask this, sorry if I should have posted
elsewhere.  So I was just wondering how much power my PC is
using during idle(listening to music, reading news/forums). But
I couldn't find a site where you just insert your parts and it
gives you an approximation, like the ones that tell you the PSU
you need.  My questions are: is there such a site? if not, is it
just a mater of adding the numbers, and then, are there any
hidden heavy power consuming chips in the PC that I wouldn't
know about if I were to calculate the power consumption myself,
like north bridge or something else? I have activated
