PSU info question

[silver_nations]

Hey, does anyone know how to find how many watts my PSU puts out? Maybe in a program such as PC wizard or CPU-Z? I cant seem to find it anywhere, even on the PSU itself.

Thanks!

There should definitely be a label on the PSU with at least the UL number and a model number. Other than that I don't think software can measure the power usage.

Buy a kill-a-watt

Is the question "how many watts is it putting out?" or "how many watts can it put out?" What power supply is it?

Yeah this is a good idea.. I have one and know exactly how many watts my system uses at idle, full cpu load, and full cpu load while playing a game. They are about $20-30 on the net.
