How many watts does a computer consume in an hour?
Answer:
it depends
laptops are between 68 and 120 watts
a desktop will depend if you're just talking about the tower or the whole thing that's needed to be on so you can use the computer.
CRTs generally use between 15 and 50 watts, The Mouse/keyboard is like 1.5-2.5 wattsif you have a glowing keyboard then its like 3 wattsyour speak system will vary from 5 to 300 watts, depending on what you have. the average is under 50 watts. A low-end speaker (basic) is like 9-13 wattsYour printer is about 11 watts, and the scanner is between 10 and 25 watts.
Your computer will also vary in wattage depending on temperature too. its not much though, less than 5 watts difference. Its consumed by the fans to keep your CPU and other parts cool.
Desktops:low-end150 to 250 watts
general comp, at least 3 yrs old200-350 wattsgeneral comp, newer than 3 years200-300 watts
multimedia250-400 watts
a general gaming or workstation300-500 watts
high-power workstation300-600 watts
high-end gaming (older processors, at least 1 year)500-1000 wattshigh-end gaming (with newer processors)400-800 watts> the difference is that newer processors uses less energy and speed to do the same thing, they run cooler and uses less energy even when OC'd.
custom computer can be between 300 and 1500 watts or more. Most consumed by overclocked processors, graphics cards (more than one usually), extensive cooling system that can range from a water cool to phase change cooler. Some computers use TEC coolers, further driving up power usage.Source(s):my computer uses 248 and laptop uses 68. The computer i wanted (with tec coolers) would consume 450 watts for the CPU, 400 watts for graphics 2 cards, 100 watts for everything else, and 400 watts in cooling. Its about 1400 watts total. If I use a newer processor and graphics, it'll drop to about 800 watts.
