how much power does this apu use?

Hello, this APU uses 100W of power, and you should use it with at least a 300W power supply. It's always a good idea to go with more power if you can afford it though. Personally, I am using a 480W PSU and it works great.

In reality, it's variable according to whatever load it's under. If you buy this, you'll need a matching motherboard and ram. Good news though, It uses less energy than most previously produced CPUs. If you already have the particular Motherboard this needs, your power supply will work.

The TDP is 100W but if you plan on overclocking it, it can easily go over that wattage, nothing over 175W though

You need To add up ALL your power needs. CPU,MEMORY,MOTHERBOARD,CD/DVD USB ETC.....Then do a 1.5 times that number. Never run your power at max. Hope this helps. Under powering blows things. Buy a UPS backup to protect the whole package. Should have at least 10 minutes of run time. I know it hurts but in the long run it saves money. Still have a 486 running &#128516;

It depends on how many other things you have in your system, but 850w should be more than enough. I'm running my card on a 550 W PSU right now. As long as you have the needed power connections off your psu you are golden.

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.

my PS is 650 watts and it running fine, but it really depends on how much other stuff is pulling down your PS. I would try it and you get sudden OS shutdowns then replace it with a 700- 750 watt. It is easy to swap out you can get a used 750 off ebay for $50

330 watt, I have had this computer for about 2.5 years now, and still works great. GeForce GTX 760, 8gb ram, 1tb har drive, dual 21.5in monitors, and 40in TV, NEVER HAVE HAD THE POWER SUPPLY GO OUT. LOVE THE COMPUTER.

My PC power is 350W. Not sure if this come originally from Lenovo, because I bought this PC from a middle man.

It's plenty. I run an older more power consuming socket, an amd r9 270 and 4 drives. I think you're good.

It depends upon how many graphics cards you mount and how many hard drives. 850 Watt should be plenty of power.

I run my i7 and 780ti just fine. 60w idle and about 360w load? I haven't measured in awhile

As long as you are above 350 watts the AMD A10 series of APU's should run fine. That said, if you later decide to go with a separate video card or multiple hard drives you most likely will want to go with a power supply above 500 watts. If you are on a tight budget the Antec Basiq series is pretty good.

Its a bit borderline....but it will work. A system with the components you listed consumes about 100 Watts at Idle, and under load closer to 200 Watts (rougly 190).Built Similar System for Friend....same components as above plus960GM/U3S3 FX8GB RAM2 Hard Drives2 DVD-RW DrivesMeasured power draw from the "Wall" using Kill-a-Watt EZ for the figures above

I'm running 2 cards (not CF) and a 125 watt cpu all at full power and my ups shows a power draw of around 450 watts. but the single card and 125 watt cpu is reading around 330 watts. follow the recommended wattage, 500w i think, but even in a 2 card cross fire, you won't need more than 1000W, beyond 1Kw is excessive.

http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp use that to calculate your average usage. Don't take it to heart either, I'm assuming you'd need a 750 to make that setup work flawlessly specially if you are willing to OC.

Depends upon what is installed in your computer. CPU, hard drive, video card,RAM, motherboard including optical drive all need power. I would say 350 watts and above would be a safe bet.

Hi, can you re write this question or be more specific?? Are you asking for power consumption?

depends on other hardware, graphics card, number of harddrives etc. google "psu calculator" and compute your power needs
