• Temperature/Power Consumption
    4 replies, posted
Are there any good and free programs to tell my PC's power consumption and temperature statistics? I have heard of CPU-Z and stuff, but which is the most reliable one? Thanks in advance.
Speccy ([url]http://www.piriform.com/speccy[/url]) can show you the temps but for power consumption you will need something attached between the computer and wall outlet like a UPS that shows the consumption or some kind of power consumption meter. The computer doesn't actually know how much power it is consuming.

Well yeah, you can't really see your power consumption by software, though you can see the voltages and stuff for your pc components. I recommend the program 'HWMonitor' for that task. That program also shows temperatures of your hardware. Personally I find that a lot better than speccy.
