So I have been watching the prices of the R9 280x for a while now, and when the price suddenly went up by $110 dollars in less than a month, I was a little curious as I still had yet to buy my second one. As of right now I have 2 R9 280Xs which I bought for gaming, but I have heard that this...

Hi guys, I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this question but I hope someone can help me. I've looked up information in this area but got mixed reports so I'm hoping someone can just explain it to me. I've recently purchased a Tascam DR-40 Handheld 4-Track recorder. It can be powered...

Lenovo IdeaPad Z585 So from what I've been gathering from about the A10, is that on paper the Ivy Bridge Intels will outperform. But in actual function the A10/7660m can hold it's own against an i5/630m matchup, and you get the added benifit of the A10s low power consumption which equates to...

Wondering about power consumption on the Dell Lattitude H500GT to determine average battery life with a 66WHR OEM battery

So I know its possible for some computers to take out the optical CD/DVD drive and replace it with a SSD drive. I was wondering what effects it has on a laptop's battery life. I know that when active, an optical drive would use more power than both an SSD and a HDD. Not sure about how often...

softwares that can calculate power consumption at realtime (just like temperature monitoring tools), is they exists?

Does anyone know of a piece of software that can give me exact (well... I don't expect miracles - anithing even remotely acurate will work) power consumption data for my computer, preferably in real time. Alternatively, a hardware method of measuring this is also ok but bear in mind that I mean...

I'm not sure if this might be stickied somewhere I haven't looked yet, if it is, sorry. I'm looking for software to measure the total power consumption of my system. I'm wary of just googling (is this even a word? :p ) and downloading some random program. Do you know some good recommended...

My current desktop pc is perfect in every way, except for power consumption. When I am not gaming, I like to have music playing or be able to just mess around online, but to have my whole setup running while I do it is kind of stupid. 1_What is your budget? under $1000, preferably under $800...

Hi, I'm just wondering, my Sony 5.1 system (about 5 years old) stays on all day. Noticed the other day it was warm to the touch, about 15 degrees warmer than room temp. Only no music or sound of any kind had been played in the last 2 hours. How much do these things consume? I always thought if...

Hi All, I have to determine the power consumption of the CPU (a part of the SOC)for a series of smart phones (e.g. Nokia, BlackBerry, Motorola and HTC). My problem is that I don't have the perfect solution to do this but and old fashion one using an amp meter to measure the current on stand-by...
