How many watt hours are needed to power this cooler?

Well, Mary, on page 16 of the CDF-11 refrigeration unit instructions we see that the maximum power consumption is 30 watts, or if you like, 30 watts per hour. It can be operated on 12 or 24 volts, making it usable on either a wheeled vehicle electrical system or, alternatively, you could use this on your boat. With a transformer, I use a Schumacher Model PC-6, you can operate this on household current. Or, alternatively, a properly rated battery can be used.

I'm sorry I don't have knowledge to answer your question.I just run it at 1500 watts the first hour then turn it down to 1000 watts for the three hours i'm watching the football game.

We purchased the power converter from Amazon the same time we purchased the cooler. It was listed in the "Others also purchased" section below the cooler. Hope this helps.

Cooler Master has a power supply sizing utility on their website that seems reasonable -- they do have a vested interest since they sell power supplies. I am a satisfied customer only. FWIW.

The spec sheet says the minimum power requirement is 300 watts for the system and 65 for the card, so it would seem your system is right on the edge.

I was running one of these with an older PC Power & Cooling 430 W PS, never had an issue. If you are going to overclock it, you are going to have a tough time with two of them on anything less than an 850 watt power supply. But that has been my experience; your mileage may vary.

This should answer your question http://www.pcpower.com/technology/power_usage/

The specs will tell you that and all other info. on the MSI web. I am running two and use a 1800 watt PS. I would think 800 watts would work but it depends what other stuff you have in your PC like say 6 hard drives or 1 hard drive? G

my friend msi website has a power supply calculator you can use that to calculate your stuff, all you need to know is all the components in and out of your pc , of course i am using a cooler master 500w p.s.u which is more than i really need (http://www.msi.com/product/vga/

I used my Kill-A-Watt to measure mine and after 2275 hours on it broke down to 26 cents a day/ $7.99 a month to keep my 14' by 12' office at 70 degrees. Very efficient. It pulls 11amps/1262watts when running at full blast. I've had mine for at least 4 years and it still works wonderfully.

You should be fine. Some heat will be generated, but there shouldnt be enough for the need of heatsink, though it never hurt anything to run a little cooler. I would say if you are only dropping from 12v you should be able to go almost to 4amp @ 3.3V before you really need to worry about cooling.

650W is more than enough to power even Titan which does use more watts, no need to change the PSU

Minimum System Power Requirement = 650 W. http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-690/specifications

the card alone at TDP will use close to 250 watts... so unless you have an atom processor and no HDDs... more watts the better ;). Plus most psus are less then efficient, My guess is that 350 watts is more like 300

Well, my computer is using 300 watts right now and the UPS says it can run for 20 minutes on battery. If the conversion holds up, that'd be about 100 hours.

Asus says the onboard CPU only takes 17W of power to power on. The rest depends on what else is assembled in the system.

Umm if your referring to the watts as in power. I am able to get out too boot with a 450 watt psu. It all depends on what CPU your using.
