Any idea on electricity consumption while mining
Specs are
R5 5600x (not using for mining : mostly idle)
MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge WiFi
PNY XLR8 16GB 3200Mhz DDR4
Gigabyte Aorus Master RTX 3070 8GB
NZXT 510 Elite Case with 3 x 140MM fans + 1 x 120MM fan (RGB Turned off) (fan controller included)
1 x 240GB Kingston PCIe NVMe M2 drive (windows and applications)
1x 2TB Segate hard drive (games) (idle when mining)

Any idea on power consumption while mining?
Power limit on GPU set to 55% and GPUz shows board power draw as 165W

Get a Kill-A-Watt wall meter and see what it actually draws from the wall under high loads.

Why would you set a power limit below 100% on the gpu. Why even bother mining then. Set the power limit to the max allowed, such as 110% or higher. Mining isn't going to damage the gpu anymore then playing games on it would.

I hope you have at least a 850W gold certified PSU for that system.

I also hope you are mining to a HDD and not an SSD.

Estimated 357 Watts

Helpful and most accurate other than adding sensor readouts from apps:

None of that mattes when you want to find out how much power the PC actually draws from the wall. No software on the system locally can help you figure this out. Cause it's going to draw more from the wall. Whatever you think your PC is drawing, first off you need to combine the cpu + gpu, then add approx 100 watts. Then add approx 20%. This should be more accurate for what's actually being drawn from the wall, and thus how much of an impact on power bills you're really having.

But yea I agree you will need to play around with the Power Limit setting of the GPU and see what this does for your both the MH/s as well as power draw. Then see if the increase in power draw is worth it.

LCDs hardly consume any power anyways so why factor this. Just turn off the monitor when you walk away maybe. Most LED/QLED monitors use about as much power as a mechanical hdd does.

The higher quality the product including sensors that show you such, the more accurate it's going to be within a tolerance range, HwInfo is fairly accurate, other calculators are just for the point of the thread; to get the idea, of how much is being consumed, which is not seeking to get a 100% dead-on accurate measurement by buying yet another thing which serves almost no point in owning other than seeing draw for a few seconds.

Yep you are a parasite and so is crypto.

r/EthereumMining makes me wish I could EMP every videocard they own.
If you have nothing to contribute without attacking users and telling people not to do something because it's not done to your liking, why are you here?

If you're that angry that all you can do is constantly call someone a "parasite", you need to go chill somewhere for a while or excuse yourself from this discussion. Every time a thread comes up about crypto all you try to do is argue with people and make it about how green you are. That's nice, it's good to be green, but it has nothing to do with this.

Because that is what it is computational parasitism. With the goal of earning the miner money to the detriment of the planet simple as that.

Also you can work out your power consumption from the wall buy taking the sum of all the wattages displayed in HWINFO the + efficiency loss

Again, you can't measure this on on the on the PC via software. As it can only account for hardware draws. Your PSU draws more from the wall with about 15-25% of that being lost from PSU efficiency % which is not just a matter of the actual efficiency rating but also the load %

So let's say software says my hardware draws adds up to around 400 watts. The actual draw from the wall is most likely going to be around 500 watts

Basic mathematics. Work out the sum of all the system power consumption then multiply the result by 0.2 then add its sum to the result there rough power consumption after adding 20% efficiency loss.

All you really care about is Kw/h anyway. The multiply that by your electricity charge rate brackets. Which in the US is charged at 13.68c per Kw/h

Wow where you live?
In MD I pay about 7c per kw/h

Thats the average. Not accounting for offpeak, onpeak etc. Then to work out power per day Kilowatt/h * 24h * electric charge rate = cost per day then * 7 = cost of 1 week.

People use fuel to get to/from work to make money, often 1 car per person.
A lot of transit systems exist at complete losses or low capacity, often the costs to maintain/repair in a month can outdo 1-4 years of revenue = tax money to upkeep, rather than efficient vehicles.

If we go with your definition of money at the detriment of the planet, then a very large number of things is exactly that, including you driving to/from locations, to get money. You can only be so green before you consume resources.

If you want to talk about being more green, making as many jobs remote as possible, using pipelines instead of countless trucks and trains, building better cities, etc; Off-Topic is a great area to make a thread for it, but we're not here to call others "leeches" or "parasites" for simply asking a question, it's entirely unhelpful

You're being far too literal when this is not about being 100%, on-paper, draw from the wall using a device you need to buy just to find out which is in itself highly wasteful to do.

"An idea" of draw, also paired with a higher efficiency psu operating will give you a fairly close idea. It's as simple as that, stop trying to nitpick to the extreme.

"An idea" and "Estimate" are exactly that. Don't argue it, it is exactly what it is; an idea and thus a given estimate.

Since hardware is the point of draw as well, you can see why sensors are better than nothing and give a good idea of the draw by reading and adding them together, then factor efficiency of the psu based upon the load, and you have a really good idea. Keep in mind I use HEDT equipment and modded PCB units, so they tend to have more options in readouts, so they give even better ideas of draw, this fairly easy to calculate without needlessly spending on a device to read for a few seconds the total power draw.

And I answered if you are not capable of doing dimensional analysis I am not explaining it

cost = xKw/h * 24h * 7days
cost = xKw/h * 24h/1 * 7days /1
cost = xKw * 24 * 7days * charge rate.

That's nice, but is unrelated to the question of how many Watts the computer is using, and you again replied to the wrong person.

You can often borrow one, from your power company, as well.

But they dont cost much and once you have one, thats fine.
You could easily use it from time to time as you feel the need anywhere else.
Like maybe to see how much an entire TV entertainment system with your surround sound and sub woofers all running to get an idea of full wall side power draw.
