Computer power? Anyone have information on this?

I can't imagine it powering a laptop, don't laptops need way more energy than an iPod or cell phone? I wouldn't recommend trying it. I would say it's a REPLACEMENT for powering off a laptop.

Hi robert,Sorry for the delay, I used a watt meter to see how much my system was using. I have a big CPU cooler and this graphic card and I was reading 300 or so watts at the wall receptacle. I lean the way of others. While you could probably get by for a while with your power supply, solid voltage = stability in the computer world. If your PS is always near its limit, you may run in a lot of issues. A PS is fairly cheap and easy to install. I have a seatronic 750 S series to give me room for expansion in the future but it may be an overkill. A good 650 would be just fine for sure.Regards Hi robert,Sorry for the delay, I used a watt meter to see how much my system was using.

Unless a device is wired into the PC's power switch/supply it will not be able to power down/up the PC. Some motherboards have this capability built in via IR. If not SIMEREC and others make devices that provide this capability as an add on.

I believe, based on Replacement Power's website, there is single 12 vole rail with 14 Amp current (for the 420/280W version that many have received). The 12 volt current is the most important power parameter (more so than the total power) for modern computers.

The power supply in your machine could be problematic. You should research that issue!

I know there's at least one. It powers my motherboard. May be a 6+2. Good PS, reliable for over a year.

No, I draws its power from the mother board. You may be thinking of USB hubs, which often require external power. Hope this helps.

Honestly, I have no idea. I can't imagine that it is much of a power hog, though. I guess I could measure it...

I use mine to run an Asus computer that controls My Ham gear so it is loafing along at less than 300 watts. I use an HP laptop for most other things because it uses 80 watts. You will need lots of batteries to keep that computer going at that power level. Hope this answers your question.

My CPU is a HP Pavilion Media Center m8100y PC. According to the specs on the HP website its "power output wattage" is 350 watts. However, I'm skeptical - according to the UPS monitoring software, the PC and modem combined typically draw between 130 and 150 watts. Sorry, that's the best that I can do.

Here is what I found on the web... Clean Power &lt;7% THD. Not sure if it's @ full load or not.

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

No, it gets all of the power it needs from the BUSS. I've been using it on a midrange (small form factor) desktop for the past 2-1/2 years & love it. //Please note, I got it to eliminate the lags & delays caused by the shared memory onboard graphics on my Gateway sx2803. Also, power draw has never been a problem & it plays video quite well.

I'm not sure what the power usage is, but it runs flawlessly with my 350 watt power supply.

The only thing I can think of is whether or not your computer is on when you try it. Other than that, I don't believe there is a power switch,(you might look it over as you may have a newer version than the two I have).

Power ConsumptionAccording to the ASUS web site it isup to 75W (no additional PCIe power required) Sorry for being so late. Roy

The electronics could possibly produce some phantom load, but it should be very small. I doubt it would be published though. Maybe it could be obtained from Emerson. Regarding the memory, we have had complete power outages (50 minute outage just last week) that resulted in no problems with the memory.
