K8Toledo:
And how was this measurement taken? With a Watt Meter?
Power usage measured today, without monitor which is about 20W, :
- Work laptop : 25W idle, about 45W busy
- i7-2600K with three hard drives going full speed and CPU at 100%: 140W
- i7-2600K at idle: 80W
All measured with the Kasa HS-110 switch / power meter. It's probably not perfectly accurate, but it's probably the right ballpark.
