Mysteryy Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 Well instead of guessing you could actually do the math. Say you have a 500 watt power supply. That means that the maximum power you can draw is 500 watts at any time. If you are constantly drawing 500 watts (hypothetically): You will pay around .10 usd per kwh for electricity, give or take a few cents. (500 watt power supply / 1000) = .5 kw If you draw .5kw for one hour, it will cost you (.5 kw * .10 usd / kwh) = .05 (usd / hour) This means that if you have a 500 watt power supply, the MAX that you can spend is 5 cents usd per hour while running your computer. On average, you will likely spend a fraction of this, maybe half. tl;dr: 500 watt power supply max cost is 5 cents usd per hour. 1
