- horsawlarway 5y agoEven a desktop only runs about 100w unless you're doing something like gaming. Admittedly, a desktop guarantees you're using another screen, so tack on 60w for the external monitor. You'd still be better off turning off the lights in a single room, in most cases, or simply toggling the AC up literally 1 to 2 degrees.
- jhgb 5y agoIf I remember correctly, my desktop runs at ~20W idle (went down to 15W before I added two extra memory modules) and ~70W fully loaded. That's a 50W delta per eight cores, so around 7W per fully loaded core.
